The Drink Link Bus Scheme

This Song is about a fella in Rural Ireland who is suffering from Rural Isolation because all the places he used to meet his friends & neighbours are closing down around him. He decides to take matters into his own hands and heads off to Europe to plead his case to the European Union but is unsuccessful. He returned home and ends up with a psychiatrist who takes all his money. But hope is restored when he hears of the 'Rural Drink Link Bus Scheme' which Shane Ross introduced to support people in Rural Ireland to continue to Socialise when the new stricter Drink driving legislation was introduced. However all did not end well until the Healy Rae's of all people arrived to save the day. Original Song ©Mick Brown 2019. See www.mickbrownfolksinger.com for lyrics and further information.
