Irish Super Bowl gatecrashers know limits and pay for flights home

The two Irishmen who claimed to have sneaked into the Super Bowl have admitted that their powers only go so far, and have paid for their flights home.

Richard Whelan from Dublin and Paul McEvoy from Cahir in Tipperary made headlines after the pair apparently landed themselves with free pitchside seats to the clash between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks in Phoenix, Arizona.

Richard Whelan told RTÉ Radio 1’s Morning Ireland that while he had his flights home booked, having blagged his way into the American football final, nothing seems impossible.
