Ding Dong Denny's History of Ireland



A tourist walks into a Dublin pub looking for directions and encounters Ding Dong Denny O'Reilly at the bar who insists on telling him the "real" history of Ireland over a number of pints. From the Normans to the Famine to 1916 and the sex shops of O'Connell Street, we hear Ding Dong's delusional take of events that shaped our nation. Ding Dong is a comic creation of comedian Paul Woodful and this is his first adventure into animation.
