An Post Meath Heritage Cycle Tour - photos

First assignment shooting from the back of a motorbike (thanks Davy) The An Post Meath Heritage Cycle Tour, 500 entrants last year, over 1,400 this year - one of the best organised events I have covered in a while. The other 500 images will be posted tomorrow...

Clogherhead world record attempt for most people buried in sand simultaneously

Had great fun covering this world record attempt in Clogherhead on Sunday for The Examiner on Sunday, more than 500 people buried themselves in the sand of little strand beach as part of the Clogherhead Prawn Festival. So many people turned up and made the effort. They were rewarded by having great coverage in all of the papers by all accounts. This was my favourite pic:

Lucky the cat and Michael and Colman Burke

Funny job for The Examiner today of 'Lucky' the cat, his brilliant vet Colman Burke and Colman's brother - the superb Meath Senior Footballer Michael Burke who will miss this weekend's Leinster SFC final against Louth. Michael broke his leg playing against Laois in the quarter final and as sore and uncomfortable as it was and still is, perhaps not as bad as what poor 'Lucky' had to endure, the story (by vet Colman Burke of Royal Pet Vet) is after the photo:
