Jacksons is a hotel.

Please God Roddy wasn't anywhere near Derry....

Ahhhh - mea culpa.

Apoplogies to the Jacksons and McElhinney families.

Your town is still a dirt-track dump where people wear potato sacks though.....

Aye - like potato sacks are up there with the price of Gucci handbags, Jimmy Choo shoes and Armani suits.

They give them away free with a pile of potatoes, fer feck sake....

Though wouldn't surprise me if you money-struck Free Staters happily paid hand over fist to get yer hands on them for nostalgia value...

Two weeks in Bundoran ?? I've never spent more than 2 minutes in the place.

We've got an airport in Derry you know, so we don't have to spend time in the schticks any more.....

Roddy for Harps !! Actually, Harps are my second team so I wouldn't wish him on anyone.

No - the flights just go over Bundoran, so we can flush the toilets at that point.....

Oi leave the Costa del Bun alone! My mum's family went there on their holidays every year in the 40's & 50's. My cousins and siblings & I went for many the short break to their caravan there when we were young and now my kids summer wouldnt be complete without a day or 2 in Fundoran! Its tacky, its expensive, its a dive but its tradition!

Bundoran is bypassed now.

There is a God.

Bundoran's been by-passed for decades.

Thankfully the roads network has finally caught-up with the rest of society....

Buncrana's yer only man for a wee break by the sea!
