Dutch TV toasts Paddy Games

THE inaugural Paddy Games has proved a huge hit — on Dutch TV.

Millions of viewers in the Netherlands, it emerged, tuned in to watch the highlights of the madcap competition on Dutch national television last night.

The footage was captured by London-based correspondent Arjen van der Horst, who flew in for last Saturday’s competition in Cork with a small TV crew from broadcasters NOS Journaal which supplies news bulletins to Dutch TV.
