Dingle has the Last Word!
A Dingle man got the better of Ireland’s best known solicitors live on the national airwaves last Friday as Sraid Eoin's Sean Granville (25) (pictured left) took on, and defeated, celebrity solicitor Dr. Gerald Kean (50) (pictured far left) in a test of wits on the The Last Word of the Week News Quiz. As part of Matt Cooper’s The Last Word Show on Today FM, the idea behind the quiz is that a member of the public takes on an Irish celebrity in a quiz based on the weeks current events and news items. Dingle's Sean Granville applied for the quiz a few weeks ago, getting the call last Friday that he would be taking part in the quiz against one of Ireland’s top solicitors, Cork native, Dr. Gerald Kean. Kean's practice, Kean & Co represents the likes of Simon le Bon, Ronan Keating, George Michael, Jerry Lee Lewis and the late Johnny Cash; clients also include more than 40 Premiership League footballers. Kean enjoys a celebrity lifestyle and he and his partner Lisa Murphy (Michael Flatley’s ex-girlfriend) can be often seen gracing the society pages of many magazines and newspapers. However, the Corkman’s knowledge was no match for the Dingle man’s keen intellect; over three rounds of questions, Matt Cooper announced Sean was the winner with double scores, beating the solicitor 14 points to seven, the double scores securing a solid victory for Kerry over Cork. Sean was delighted with the outcome and friends and well-wishers all over the county have been getting in touch all week following his triumph on the airwaves.
