As part of Newstalk’s GE2020, reporter Henry McKean in this exclusive, persuades the Godfather of Leinster house Fianna Fáil Limerick Candidate Willie O’Dea to abseil off the home of Munster Rugby, Thomond Park.

Willie O’Dea was nervous but jumped at the opportunity of being 42 metres in the air with the help of Dave Neville from Nevsail Watersports.

Willie got strapped into the harness and was lowered down the rope, lets see if Willie’s mustache survives the strong Limerick wind.  Picture Keith Wiseman.
