“I’ve always had a keen interest in the Kennedys and had visited the graves in Washington in my time, as well as Dealey Plaza in Dallas, Texas, where, of course, US President John F Kennedy was killed in 1963,” Dave told DonegalLive.

Dave was joined his friend Dr Brian Murphy, director of the Kennedy School; Martin O’Neill, the former football manager who took charge of the likes of Celtic, Aston Villa and the Republic of Ireland; and Dermot Murnaghan, the British broadcaster who was a presenter for Sky News, a news presenter at CNBC Europe, Independent Television News and BBC News.
