From Roscrea to Banna, Cloghjordan, and Nenagh

Arrived in Stradballey for lunch yesterday, had a lovely lunch by the fountain.
Cycled on to Aghaboe in Laois, stayed in a hostel. Already famous (to the people in the hostel) because of interview on Midlands radio yesterday, which said we were a friendly bunch.
Went into a local pub to watch the match and had a round bought for us by the locals.
cycling through constant rain this morning, finally arrived in Roscrea but morale is still up because Finn had some cake and everyone is out of their wet gear, plus everyone in the pub knows them, again from the interview.
Jim Fahey and camera crew from RTE trying to catch up with the protest, probably some coverage in the next day or two. The cycle was also picked up by the Examiner.
Hoping to get some photos uploaded tonight at the hostel, and maybe a copy of the statement from Baldonnell.
Staying tonight in Nenagh, and tomorrow off to a secret destination in Limerick.
