What are the odds?

Michael Collins, Eamon de Valera and Padraig Pearse walk into an airport... This sounds like the start of a rather strange, and very niche, history joke, but it was reportedly the situation at Cardiff airport yesterday. https://twitter.com/noriordan/status/645325589457567744 As the odds of three men named Padraig Pearse, Michael Collins and Eamon de Valera all being pals, travelling to the Rugby World Cup together and being late for their flight would seemingly be astronomically high, we reckon Cardiff staff are victims of a cheeky prank. That didn't stop the inevitable jokes in reply to Neil O'Riordan's tweet. https://twitter.com/swearimnotpaul/status/645325780612947969 https://twitter.com/AOMTHECAT/status/645328769411084288 https://twitter.com/RichieMcCormack/status/645325825756274688 https://twitter.com/scotushibernus/status/645353398066352135 https://twitter.com/berndools/status/645332437791342593
