The commentary is a bit laughable but I really fail to see the humpor in hitting an animal to make him run. Or where is the humor in a human too heavy for said animal. Funny would have been the donkey's rearing and tossing the riders off!

On our first trip to Ireland we stayed our first night at a B&B in New Castle West. We had a great time but not as much fun as this video. The running commentary was priceless.

I don't think it's as funny as the knackers bare-knuckle fighting or the Gardai running from a group of stone throwing 12-year olds.

Great laugh, this is one of the reasons I tell people coming on a visit to Ireland, To stay off the motorways and head for the small towns and villages, you learn more about the irish people that way.
