Lotto Millionaire Returns to Limerick

Lotto Millionaire Returns to Limerick

LimerickÂ’s newest millionairess held her second press conference at the Track Bar last week.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) September 4, 2005

Organised by local press agent, Tim OÂ’Brien and solicitor, David Sweeney, the press conference was called only to announce Dolores McNamaraÂ’s return to her single-storey St PatrickÂ’s Road home.

She refused to answer any of the questions posed by the gaggle of media, including if she intended giving anything back to the area. She responded to each one only resolutely sealed lips.

In a prepared statement, Mr Sweeney said that how she intended to spend her 115 million Euromillions win, was "not a priority at present” and that Dolores was concentrating on getting her and her family’s life back to normal following their Spanish celebratory holiday.

The press conference was a brief, quiet affair. Representatives from both local and national newspapers were there, hungry for some good photos and a rare quote from the Limerick housewife who has so unexpectedly joined IrelandÂ’s rich list.

There were cheers from the packed bar as Dolores emerged from a private room at the rear of the building,. She glanced around her coyly from beneath her fringe and quickly sank into her seat, apparently thankful for the protective bulk of her solicitor and the barÂ’s landlord at either side of her.

Behind her sat a group of approximately 20 of her friends, enjoying complimentary drinks.

Dolores herself looked the picture of health.

Sitting to her left, her solicitor said, to cheers from her friends, that Dolores and her family were "very proud of their city and especially the St Patrick’s Road area”.

"This area is a neighbourhood where neighbours always help and support each other and it is Dolores’ strong desire to continue to reside among her friends and neighbours in this area. If at some future date, she has to leave this area, it will not be because she wants to but because she would be left with no alternative.”

Asking the media to give Dolores, her family and her neighbours "space to get on with their lives and to do the routine things that we all enjoy”

In the meantime, her solicitor denied rumours that Dolores was buying Michael Owen’s villa in Spain or indeed a pub in Turkey. "She doesn’t know yet what she’s going to do, but she does want to stay in Limerick.”

About 150 friends and neighbours stayed for the evening, sharing in DoloresÂ’ good fortune through a complimentary bar, which a source at the bar confirmed, was paid for out of DoloresÂ’ now very, very healthy bank account. http://www. limerick. com (http://www. limerick. com)
