A: I stopped learning Irish from first year and didn’t make any effort to continue after that!
Q: Best/worst dating story?
A: The best date I went on was with a guy who brought me all over Dublin from walking around Phoenix Park, going to the zoo, Blanchardstown for food and then dropping me back to my house in Wexford! He had loads of green flags! The worst was with the same guy who brought me to one of his gigs where he left me in a corner on my own for the night, without introducing me to anyone and after it was finished he went out for a smoke, forgot about me and went home! Can safely say I wasn’t interested after that….
