Conor blows 1918 record clean out of the water
Conor McCarthy, from Adare, took 5 hours and 32 minutes to drill in 12,613 gold-coloured rivets into a eight foot mosaic which he created to celebrate Aer Lingus’ 75th anniversary and his own half-century.
The feat surpassed two targets in the Guinness Book of Records and leaves the Aer Lingus engineer and his colleague, Michael Fitzsimons, on course to enter the next edition of the Guinness Book of Records.
