“Das Riiiight, Come hell or high water, I’ll be in the Premier Hall, Thurles, on Saturday December 5th next”, stated Thurles Comedian Pat Shortt, when speaking to Thurles.Info today. Pat as always was looking at the funny side of life as flood waters crept closer to his home in the village of Castleconnell, Co. Limerick.
Pat stated that Castleconnell was now a village under siege. “Flood waters are dividing one side from the other, sure if I were to go for a pint or two, I’d have to get the boat home,” said Irelands number one comic.
