Captain Donal Buckley and Paul Clark. Credit: UTV On Saturday morning 2nd May, I travelled from Belfast to Castlebar, in Mayo, in just under three and a half hours. Lest you think I was taking unnecessary risks on the road by breaking speed limits, I left home at 6am. I had allowed four hours for the journey. Traffic was light. I was an invited guest to Mayo Day: Mayo Military Heroes - at the National Museum of Ireland in Turlough Park, on the outskirts of the county town.
