Cork man Domhnall O’Cathain recently made the move to America and appeared on the DIY Channel’s Man Caves home makeover show.

Some people have all the luck.

Domhnall wanted to turn one of his rooms into an Irish pub, with a special emphasis on GAA.

They have a quick game of hurling before the big reveal, with the presenter saying:

It’s a lot more fastpaced than I thought it would be. And I’m playing in steel toe boots so… not as nimble as I’d like to be. It’s a cool game.

So, how did it turn out?

Pretty nice, but exactly like an American version of an Irish bar.

Hey, if you can’t be in Cork, bring Cork to you.

If nothing else, Americans got a bit of Cork trivia into them.

Watch the big reveal from about 14 minutes in

    Wonder if the Yanks were able to pronounce Domhnall O’Cathain considering they had so much bother with Saoirse Ronan’s name?

    Dohnall or however it’s spelt is a make up version or Donal. My own name was invented as an alternative to James.
    When are the overpaid Gaels in the civil service going to come up with Gaelic version for Josh or Ben.

    Done on the cheap…
    The red jersey of Cork is a mere Penny’s bargain basement shirt that no self respecting Cork GAA fan would wear.

    think the man cave should have been a gym!
