Keeping an Open mind

What can I add? They raised phenomenal funds which go to the local Limerick charities and that’s good because much of the money was raised by the people of the city and county and it’s great that it goes back there.

They could run a book on how much will be raised and no doubt all will be revealed in due course. Whatever it is, it's a fantastic achievement and fair play to JP and his friends for doing it and also to the people of Limerick.

They are obviously very proud of JP and weren't going to let him down. They turned out in amazing numbers, something like 50,000 over the two days, and it was only right that the weather was on its best behaviour, especially on the first afternoon. Many people were surprised that I signed so many autographs I had used up nearly three pens by the end of the second day but it's not a problem for me. It was a fun event, it was all for charity and it was a pleasure to be part of it.
