    RTE last night broadcast "The Road to Moneygall" The Road to Moneygall is a heart-warming, fascinating, disarming chronicle of three years in the life of the inhabitants of Moneygall village, county Offaly - which come to wholly unexpected fame in 2008 as the birthplace of Fulmouth Kearney - five-times great grandfather of the leader of the free world: US President, Barack Obama.
