Impím ar gach aon duine a chuid Gaeilge a labhairt do Sheachtain na Gaeilge, cuma más cúpla focail nó Gaeilge líofa atá acu.  Ní haon ionadh é go bhfuil dúil agus meas mór agam ar an Ghaeilge.  Níl aon dabht ach gur chuir an Ghaeilge ar an mbóthar mé mar chraoltóir spóirt.  Tar éis dom mo chuid cáilíochtaí a bhaint amach i nGaillimh, chuas ar thóir taithí oibre a raibh bainteach le spóirt, agus b'é Adare Productions agus TG4 a thug an chéad deis dom.  Fuaireas post mar chúntóir léirithe leis an gclár Underdogs, agus as sin, dheineas teagmháil le léiritheoirí in RTÉ.  Thuigeadar go raibh taithí éigin faighte agam le TG4, agus fuaireas post páirt aimsire i 2004, mar fo-eagarthóir dos na cluichí olimpeacha agus The Sunday Game!  Táim an bhuíoch don Ghaeilge ar bhonn phrofaisiúnta, ach ar bhonn pearsanta, is breá liom an nasc nádúrtha atá ann idir Ghaeilgóirí.  Tá daoine ann nach labharaim béarla leo, agus is ceangailt ana spesialta í sin dár liom.

If you want the very best for your big day - and who wouldn't? - then treat yourself and your guests to the very best in entertainment... the Irish Rat Pack!

You've seen them featured on RTE TV, TV3, OK magazine, Vicar Street and the Olympia.  You may even have seen them at one of the more than 100 weddings they play every year.  But this year, on your most special night, you too can play host to a show that will indeed send them home singing.

In a two-and-a-half hour show, the Irish Rat Pack will play, in addition to the best of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior, all types of music including The Galway Girl, Abba, Tom Jones, Elvis and The Beatles.

To ensure your guests are kept dancing, the performance is followed by two more hours of music with our House DJ.
