Every Friday night Tom Fitzgerald’s lilac-coloured minibus is a\nmeeting place for the same cast of seven, who always use it to\ntravel home from Dublin to spend the weekend in Rathdoon.

There’s Nancy Morris, a real ‘Miss Mouse’ who is known for her\nmeanness; Dee Burke – engrossed in her affair with an unfaithful\nhospital consultant; and Kev Kennedy who is a bit of a mystery to\neveryone, including his own family. Then there’s Celia Ryan. Each\ntime she returns home to Ryan’s Bar, it is only to find her mother\nmaking a drunken exhibition of herself in front of half the local\npopulation. And, of course, Tom Fitzgerald himself has his own\nreasons for returning home so regularly…
