We've been watching the excellent video of Conan O'Brien's trip to Ireland in the mid-90s and one man has caught our eye in particular. He features in a clip of Conan trying to find his Irish ancestors but be-fecked if O'Brien or anyone can make out what he's saying.

We will get to the bottom of this by hook or by crook. Also you can watch the full, superb video of Conan's visit to Ireland below.
