    “Sláinte go léir”, says Tady Forde.
    In the village of Drumcollogher which is situated on the Limerick Cork border over forty-six years ago there lived a man who was famous for his wit and story-telling; and he was equally famous for his love of the “bottle”.
    Her was very often to be found in one of the local public-houses but before he tasted a drink he always toasted his friends with “Sláinte go léir”.
    Tady Forde died about 46 years ago; but to the present day in the public-houses of Drumcollogher you will hear “Sláinte go léir”, says Tady Forde.
