There isn't a construction worker amongst them,

ladies and gentlemen, but when they get here, they'll take the gig.

They will happily stand...

"I'll do that. You want me to do that?

"You want that knocked through and...?

"No problem. We can do that.

"That's not an issue, we'll get that done.

- "Google it. Google it."

- LAUGHTER

"Bound to be a website somewhere that explains what he wants.

"Jesus!

"Well, translate it from Polish."

LAUGHTER:

APPLAUSE:

You will be sending planes to Warsaw to fly back the Polish

builders that you were so dismissive of.

Oh, yeah, it's funny the first time you flush the toilet

and the lights go off, but...

- LAUGHTER

- The shite we're about to make your houses...

In six months' time every Wickes, every Homebase,

every DIY store in this country is going to be rammed with Irish

"builders" trying to describe tools they vaguely

remember from a generation ago.

"Do you have anything that'll make wood shorter?"

LAUGHTER:

"Cos I have a gap and I have a plank

"and I can't get the two of them to match up.

"There must be some way, do you have a tool for that?

"While I have you, I have a tin of paint and a wall.

"How do I transfer the paint...?

"I have tried lifting it. I have tried scooping it.

"I have tried flinging it.

"I have tried smearing it.

"In my mind, there's a thing like a Jedward's head."

LAUGHTER:

"I could lower it in and run it along the wall.

"Does such a thing even exist?"

I honestly believe that this country needs more Irish

people to come into it.

The Irish occasionally need to emigrate, just to see

more of the world and also give their unique takes on things.

Because we've kind of slipped off the radar in the UK,

you've kind of forgotten who we are.

Even, for example, the sign of the show - Craic Dealer,

that's the pun which I presume most people got,

craic being an old Irish word meaning fun.

And I went online and went,

"Jeez, I have to come up with a name for a DVD.

"I'm sick of calling them Live At The... and Live here."

And somebody suggested Craic Dealer. We said, that's brilliant.

A fantastic title for a show.

We stuck in on the box and showed to loads of people who went,

"Fantastic. Dara O Briain: Craic Dealer, I get it, that's great."

Apart from one major retailer in this country.

One massive chain of shops in this country that said,

"No, we won't stock something called Craic Dealer.

"Because it promotes drug use."

LAUGHTER:

As if people would walk into their supermarkets, see a DVD with

Craic Dealer on it and go, "Jesus, I'd love a bit of crack."

LAUGHTER:

"It'd really hit the spot.

"I've been meaning to try it for years

"and I was scared by the reputation it had.
