The bog snorkelling champion of Ireland sets herself a new challenge.
Julia Galvin who became Irish bog snorkelling champion is not content to rest on her laurels. The biology teacher from Listowel in County Kerry has her sights on a different type of sporting competition.
The World Wife Carrying Championships will take place in Finland next month, but for that Julia Galvin requires a partner capable of carrying her a distance of two hundred and fifteen metres, almost the length of Grafton Street.
I'm...very dependent on finding a gentleman to help me represent Ireland.
Unfortunately none of the men who spoke to RTÉ News could be of assistance, so Julia Gavin's search for a strong man goes on.
