"It's a long way to Tipperary. It's even longer when you're lost. The old farmer I meet on the tractor on a backroad somewhere between Cloughjordan and Nenagh has never heard of ­Patrick Bergin. "He's a movie star and he lives in a castle around here?" he wonders, squinting through the late summer sun on the back of his tractor. "Maybe ask at the next farm through the crossroads...'""
"The actor on how meeting his wife Helen gave him a new lease of life and how he put his hellraising days behind him on the advice of a Pogue There is no one about that I can see and Google Maps is sending me towards Offaly in circles along roads with no signs Miraculously, I spot a road sign and ­embark up a long road. Eureka, there it is - Patrick Bergin's home, built circa 1649."
Patrick Bergin experienced a personal transformation after meeting his wife Helen and he left his former hellraising lifestyle following advice from a Pogue. He traveled through rural Tipperary and became lost on backroads between Cloughjordan and Nenagh. A local farmer on a tractor did not recognize Bergin and suggested asking at the next farm. Navigation by Google Maps repeatedly misdirected him toward Offaly along unsigned roads. A road sign eventually appeared, leading to a long drive up to Bergin's residence, a house built circa 1649.
