“CATCH HIM DERRY!”
This is like a scene from a sitcom. It’s all kicking off and chaos is the order of the day down in Kerry.
Tadhg Fleming recorded the scene in his house as a bat came into their kitchen and the resulting scramble from him and his parents (Derry and Maureen) as they attempted to remove the bat from their house.
Speaking to JOE, Tadhg said: “My father (with my football shorts and long wooly socks) tried to first catch the bat with a tea towel, then opted for a larger towel which the mother just ironed!
“From there, myself and my mother hid behind the doors to let my father take on the bat one on one.”
If you thought the bat was causing enough havoc, the family have just gotten a new puppy, who wades into the mix and adds to the drama.
But just look at the smugness of Derry when he finally gets the bat out the door…
A man proud of his efforts if we’ve ever seen one.
