I wish George the best on his endeavor. However, the Emergency Medical Service in and around his route should be on red alert. I'm sure there will be hundreds of females fainting, throwing themselves in front or across the road just to see, touch this magnificent Irish hunk of human flesh!

Laochra, why? Did he rob one of your girlfriends or something? I don’t know him personally but aren’t celebrity visits generally a good thing for the irish economy?

After Clooney visits his ancestral home in Windgap they should rename the place Windbag. I hope he gets some typical Irish weather for his Harley tour.

Kilkenny is a great place. I'm a Dub but Kilkenny has never let me down when I have put a few Bob on them. I highly recomend a visit there, the people are very friendly and there's great craic.
