Spreading the love around...

AS we pull up to the East Link toll booth, the woman in the window sees my passenger Henry McKean’s microphone and guesses something is afoot.

“I’d like to pay for myself and the next ten people behind me,” I bellow like a benevolent drunk as Newstalk’s roving reporter chuckles beside me.

A random punter at the booth paying for others doesn’t happen every day, but Ann, who has worked on the bridge for six years, handles the situation with classic Dublin stoicism.
