Catherine and her hens get Richard out of his spot of bother!
Most lads probably cringe when they get stuck beside a hen party.
But not Newstalk reporter Richard Chambers.
Richard was making his way to Letterkenny as part of his station’s election coverage when his car became stuck in mud and gravel after skidding outside Ballybofey.
But lo and hold, a mini-bus carrying a hen party came to his rescue.
Catherine Callaghan was the bride-to-be who arrived with her crew – pink feather boas and all.
He tried to reverse it but it got stuck. He called the AA but they said they would be an hour and a half.
“We were on our way home and we noticed the car off the road,” said Catherine Callaghan.
“One of the girls was a nurse. We thought something was wrong so we got out. It turned out he was just stuck in the mud.
“It was my hen party. I get married on February 26. It will be a good story for the speeches,” she laughed.
“We didn’t even think about the high heels or nothing. We just ploughed on to rescue him.”
Richard told BBC Radio Foyle: “I really appreciated their help.
“I had a load of interviews lined up across Donegal and if it wasn’t for them it would have been a whole day of news coverage lost.
“I will send a token of appreciation to them in Donegal.”
