Another Batman Film? Yes Please.

March 30, 2022 By Tom Molloy

Another Batman Film? Yes Please.

Another Batman film? You must be joking. This reviewer has it on good authority that this is the seventeenth Batman film, including one involving Lego apparently.

January 28, 2022 By Tom Molloy

Former Cork captain Kieran Murphy once claimed that captaining Limerick IT to Fitzgibbon success in 2007 was up there with his finest hurling achievements. I think this is a big statement from a man who won two Liam McCarthys with the Rebels and four county titles with Sarsfields. That 2007 Limerick IT team contained a plethora of inter-county stars.
