Fintan Brennan Investigates fear itself
When a beautiful, if slightly strange-looking, camogie player gets her sliotar caught up a tree, her fear of heights prevents her from retrieving it. So she calls on Fintan for help.

To do so, Fintan looks for information about fear of heights. He learns the term for this is acrophobia, and that by being gradually exposed to ever-increasing heights you can conquer it. Fintan puts this to the test with the damsel in distress.

First she stands on a brick, then a chair, and next thing she's up a ladder knocking her sliotar down from the tree. She thinks Fintan is great until his cool act is blown when his Mammy calls to see if he is wearing his warm vest.
