Clare Byrne

I mean, I went with a buddy and we still laugh and talk about it.

That was 1990.

So like you're talking 36 years ago.

Would I go again?

Probably not, unless it was something very specific.

Like I would do a group tour for some of the specialised things that I'm interested in.

Like I might do, you know, the battlefields or... Don't forget the words as originals when you... Yes.

That's the Zimmer frame.

So I would do those, but I tend to be a bit of a loner or else family holidays.

But I respect people who go on them.

And again, if you're on your own and that's the only holiday you could go on,

You stay away from them and find someone else.

You can't escape someone on a bus.

Conversation that counts.

Do we really understand Ireland's place in the European Union or even how the EU really works?

Well, joining me now is former ambassador to the European Union, the UK and Italy, Bobby McDonagh.
