"Luke the Legend" set off from his home in Kilkenny on Thursday.

A Kingscourt bar has shared the plight of a Kilkenny man who's walking to Armagh for a pint.

From today, pubs and bars in Northern Ireland can welcome customers back as indoor hospitality restarts.

Luke from Kilkenny set off from home on Thursday with the aim of making the border for a drink by the time Covid restrictions eased.
