Invading Danes vow to behave this time

Viking warriors are set to come to Ireland next year, but according to the Danish ambassador they will be on their best behaviour this time.

Ambassador Niels Christen Pultz said the warriors will be coming over from his country as part of commemorations to mark the 1,000th anniversary of the Battle of Clontarf.

He said this was just part of a series of events planned to commemorate the AD1014 battle, which was pivotal in Irish history.
