Muireann O’Connell has shared the hilarious story of how her mum sneakily smuggled drink into an All-Ireland match.
Taking to Instagram for yet another brilliant tale, Muireann stunned her followers with the bizarre lengths her mother went to in order to have some sherry while watching the GAA.
After speaking to her mother about her plans for this year’s All-Ireland final, Muireann couldn’t believe that her mum Marie wasn’t going to be sneaking drink into Croke Park this year.
I got a message from my mother saying I’m not bringing my own sherry to the All Ireland this year.
‘I was like, “What?”… The last time we went to an All Ireland my mother poured sherry into a Ballygowan bottle and brought it the 200 kilometers from Limerick to Dublin because they “Mightn’t have the right sherry up there”.
While Marie didn’t sneak a lot of drink into the home of GAA, Muireann insisted her mum was worse ‘than underage teens’.
‘It was a contour bottle and she only a quarter filled it but still…. Parents, worse than underage teens,’ she captioned the post.
The Limerick family will be rooting for their native country to retain the Liam McCarthy this Sunday when the Treaty take on Kilkenny in what promises to be one of the games of the year.
Muireann’s followers took to the comments section to brand the Ireland AM presenters mum ‘a legend’ for her act of rebellion.
One person joked: ‘Don’t forget to eat the dinner at 8 in the morning just to get a good run at the day!

Another added: ‘Fair play to her, she’s dead right.’
While one person said: ‘Your mom is a legend. Love that. Also they say the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.’
Muireann is frequently taking to Instagram to share funny stories from her life away from the camera, including a recent incident where she thought the dog she was looking after was in grave danger.
She recalled: ‘The dog I’m dog sitting ate a grape. I Googled it and found out that grapes are indeed toxic to dogs. So then I ring her owner, “I think I’ve killed your dog”. She’s like ‘you definitely didn’t kill the dog it’s fine”.
‘I’m freaking out so much, so she does send me on their vet’s number. I ring emergency out of hours being like “I think I just killed a dog, they’ve eaten a grape”. The vet laughs at me and is like “you have not killed a dog, please calm down, she might just have some runny poos tomorrow so have a good time with that”‘
