“The Mac Allisters have been in Donabate since 1860,” Noel said. And the Mac Allister family spotted a photo of former foreign affairs minister Dick Spring with Dickie Mac Allister, the president of the Buenos Aires hurling club, in the Irish Times. “He was a big sports fan and was delighted about the family connection to Argentina. “In 1865, my great-granddad’s brother, Joseph, boarded a boat for Argentina. Noel and his wife Catherine and other family members have visited Argentina. A short time later, Dickie sent back detailed information linking the Mac Allister name back to Donabate. If there was anywhere to watch this World Cup final but the Lusail Stadium, it has to be in Donabate. “I’ve been watching him play for Brighton and he’s been improving all the time. He’s a great player and this is a great team.” It was great he got to experience that. My mum and dad went out to Argentina with Noel and Catherine. And it was surely one of the best finals ever.
