Schoolboy jaunt scoops top award for RTÉ Radio

THE year is 1985 and two bored, skittish boys, aged 10 and 13, decide to skip school and hop on a DART train for a ride that will take them thousands of miles past their stop.

Keith and Noel managed to sneak free rides on trains, boats and planes to get from Dublin to Holyhead, down to London and then on to New York.

You couldn’t make it up.
