Where would we be without Google Maps. Driving to Dublin for Leinster’s Champions Cup quarter final against Sale Sharks, I was redirected past landmarks I hadn’t seen in years due to the fuel protests at several points on the motorway.

The diversions steered us towards the old main road, reviving images of endless journeys from the distant past. Driving through Cashel, past Pat Fox’s pub and Daverns famous retail shop on Main Street.
