Danyl Sweetman describes his last days as an Irish Sugar employee. As much as he tries to stay on topic, he can’t help veering off towards the “craic” & taking us on a journey of hilarious shenanigans.
It’s 2006 & Danyl is finding the going tough, his marriage is falling apart, his job is in jeopardy and then there’s a family bereavement. Rather than letting it all defeat him though Danyl decides to laugh his way through it. Contrary to the stereotypical Irish male who finds it difficult to talk about his problems, Danyl will tell it all to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
His fear, his grief, his family & even his sex life. He has a deep love & respect for his work colleagues, they have taught him the value of laughing at the serious stuff. He will tell us with pride how they fought against the company to win a fair redundancy settlement in the labour court. Indeed this fight mirrors his own personal fight with tragedy & loss.
