David Kearns from the Herald newspaper is looking to meet up in Dublin with some Welsh football fans today (Tuesday 05/07), if possible.   If you can help, please respond using the details in his message:

I’m a journalist at the Herald and I’m interested in speaking to some Welsh people living in Dublin ahead of tomorrow’s semi-final clash against Portugal.  Ideally I’d like to speak to five people and get a photo arranged this afternoon or evening with a group of Welsh fans in their jerseys.
If anyone at Draig Werdd would be able to help me arrange this, that would be great.  My mobile is 0863466098 and I can be reached via email on d.kearns@independent.ie.
