US Ambassador to Ireland Dan Rooney welcomed the Obamas on their arrival at Dublin Airport and accompanied them to Moneygall, County Offaly.
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.
ReplyDeleteFilmed, with great empathy and full-access over the course of three years, this is the story of how the most famous man of the 21st century came to the village that time forgot.
