“I was in a bubble of gale-force winds and heavy rain.”
“I had my ear piece in and turned up to full volume so that I could hear the studio in Dublin, and I was being pulled this way and that.”
“The Super Ceili video is wild but the safety message is very good in it, because they keep replaying my voice saying ‘don’t make unnecessary journeys, don’t take risks on treacherous roads’.”
“I have never experienced the Twitter machine in operation like that before,” she told The Herald.
