A report has shown that Mayo people are by far the most likely in the Republic to live to be a hundred years old or more, followed by their Roscommon and Sligo neighbours.
County Carlow finds itself at the other end of the scale, having boasted just one centenarian among its pension drawing population over the past 4 years. What do you think?
“Yeah, but we can probably expect those numbers to take a sharp drop as soon as Mayo get around to winning an All-Ireland.”
(Brendan Duggan, pet groomer)
“You know what they say in Carlow – Live fast, die young, and leave a good looking corpse.”
(Stephen Twomey, offset printing press maintenance consultant)
“I’m sure there’s a joke in there somewhere about going to Hell or to Connacht, but I just can’t think of a tasteful way to formulate it.”
(Aisling Delaney, freelance embalmer)
