Cowen hits high note on Offaly return

TAOISEACH Brian Cowen returned to his native Offaly over the weekend and hit all the right notes.

As thousands turned out to greet him in Edenderry, Tullamore and Birr, Mr Cowen finished several of the appearances by breaking into song.

In Tullamore, it was a few bars of My Way and then a rendition of The Offaly Rover.
