Panti Roast
In the almost four years since Panti’s Noble Call at the Abbey (she hasn’t aged a day #Photoshop), and the two and a half years since she singlehandedly won marriage equality for Ireland, Ballinrobe’s most exotic export has become what she herself has christened, “a national treasure”. Nowadays, you can’t walk down an Irish borín without Panti staring back at you from a billboard – honestly, those eyes seem to follow you around the streets – TV producers are falling over themselves to immortalise her (and DJ Karen) on the likes of Sky Atlantic, and the Irish Indo website runs with a new story on her every day. Isn’t it well time she was taken down a peg or two? We thought so, so we’ve begun gathering a group of people to do the deed, in public.
