Tánaiste Micheál Martin was in flying form as he took a ride down the slide at Avondale Forest park in Wicklow. Thankfully for the Fianna Fáil leader, he didn’t go flying too far.
The Tánaiste was visiting the site for the official opening of Avondale House. Following a tour of the house and some gentle persuasion from the press, Mr Martin decided to ride down the iconic 15 second slide.
Although he said the slide “slows down too much” at the end, he described it as “fantastic”.
