Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

That is what we want.

Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

No matter what technology comes, we will find a way to connect with other real, actual humans.

Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

Technology will get in the way of that a little bit.

Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

It will make it more complicated and make it more difficult.

Ray D'Arcy Daily

But it won't stop that desire.

Ray D'Arcy Daily

And we will not stop looking for genuine human connection until we get it.

Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

And those people are standing on Hill 16 during an All-Ireland final.

Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

What those people have done very cleverly, and often without thinking it through, which is totally the best way to do it...

Ray D'Arcy Daily
Weekend Catch Up

is they have merged themselves into a collective, into a group of people who are cheering and screaming and utterly, utterly committed to a match that's playing itself out on a pitch.
