Mairead Kenny: Mairead Kenny Politics and More podcast. I'm in Lisdoonvarna at the festival. I had a lovely drive down through Kinvara and Ballyvaughan. I've arrived here and I'm speaking to people at the festival, PJ?

Mairead Kenny: PJ Murrihy.
PJ Murrihy : I've been here for years and years. And of course as you know Mairead it closed down for lockdown and all that and then the Ukrainians were here. It's back again and it's in full swing and it's great now. I'm here from every Saturday and Sunday from 12.30 until 3 o'clock. There's music every day from half past twelve until about 2 in the morning.
