But thanks to Malachy Clerken and thanks to Ken Early and thanks to sports journalists everywhere.

I'd love to be one of you, but I just don't have the obsession with sport.

Fitzy Sean Fitzgerald he's the Galway player who's on Love Island I discovered over the weekend when I said to my daughter are you watching Sean Fitzgerald on Love Island she said they call him Fitzy Daddy because he has a TikTok presence 100,000 I think on TikTok and 60,000 on Instagram very popular before he even went in

And Yvonne Murray went out to Furbo in Galway to ask the people who knew him how they felt about Fitzy being on Love Island.

Nobody is angry with him or anything.

I love this one.

It's a really Irish one.

He's not a person you could be annoyed with for too long.

Isn't that great?

Another woman said, lowering her voice, isn't there a lot of SEX on that show?

I wouldn't want to be his mammy watching that.

He wouldn't want to be getting up to too much as the teacher though, would he?

Yeah.

And so he's a primary school teacher and he hit the headlines in local media back in 2022 when himself and some of his friends rescued a stricken cat called Willow.

And Willow had been missing for 20 days after becoming impaled on barbed wire.

This was reported in the Connacht Tribune.

And the report went as follows.

After dramatically freeing her from the barbed wire, a delicate operation that took more than 25 minutes, they rushed Willow by car to Briar Hill Veterinary Clinic.

She required urgent care to remove a long piece of wire that had become embedded in her stomach and risked causing internal damage.

I have three cats at home, so I can tell whether a cat is in distress or whether it's a normal cat noise, Fitzgerald told journalist Dara Bradley.
