The country was broke, people were unemployed or emigrating, and the uncertainty of our nation’s economy was in peril. It truly was a slip that lifted a nation in our darkest hour.
I hope he was ok afterwards. He took some banger to the noggin
I remember seeing that news report at the time. They just sat and filmed the lot of them falling.
Wait why were the army going to Leitrim!?
I wonder did he get a claim.
I still remember what I was doing on that day
No joke. I just had a fall exactly like this at 9am.
I’m pretty sure I honoured this guy’s memory. Was bringing an old coffee machine over to my mam’s house cause her’s is broken. I slipped on a big slab covered in ice. Right up into the air like this poor fucker and landed right on my hip. Smashed the coffee machine and was in bits.
I’m grand but it was some whack. Ankle a bit stiff too. Lying on the ground my first thought went to this chap. Alternating heat and cold on my hip.
Just another reason to move to Australia
This guy never told anyone that was him on the rte news hahahaha would never live that down
JFK been shot,
Man waking on the moon for the first time,
9/11
Guy falling on an icey foot path.
Moments in history, never to be forgotten.
I never saw the humour in this. That was a nasty fall. I’ve always wondered if he was hurt. I hate seeing people falling anyway. It’s just not funny.
Happening again now in Cork it’s lethal 😂
I was there Gandalf, the day the strength of men slipped.
I was talking about this in the hairdressers this morning

Never forgive, never forget. Tell your children. Tell their children.
He slipped for our sins
And people are still flogging it like a dead horse. Funnier things have happened in Ireland. We all just didn’t give up on funny things 14 years ago.
Mad how it was 14 years ago.
And he’s still a mystery.
My God how is that 14 years ago… I have never felt so old.
A real ‘where were you when’ moment
Wonder how the army got on in Leitrim…
I was working in those offices on the left there at the time. The streets were covered in icy sludgey crap for what seemed like weeks on end.
Reeling in the Years 2010 was on the other day and this was the first clip.
Didn’t need to watch the rest.
The hero nobody asked for, but the hero we all deserved.
Jesus that was so funny. He broke his bol*+# for our sins. Bless you born slippy.
