Paula Banks has a wicked sense of humour and if there was any suggestion that NLI was run by auld biddys with their hair in buns the response dispels it!!! Lovely shot of a hunt starting off in the middle of a city?

Such a shame the Adelphi Hotel was replaced with the eye-sore that I snow the Tower Hotel. The Mall of Waterford is such a historic place, not to mention where the Tri-Colour First Unfurled & blew In the Quay & River Suír Breeze.
