Adorable: Lad With Flashing Emergency Lights On Work Van Convinced He’s On Really Important Mission

FULL-TIME main character and part-time builder David Dunne is apparently on some sort of urgent operation, according to baffled site colleagues, WWN can confirm.

Engaging the yellow emergency lights on the roof of his van with all the authority of an FBI agent commandeering a police car, Dunne was seen whisking past motorists on the main Waterford road earlier today.

“Probably late for pints,” speculated plumber Mark Dealy, who witnessed the ‘clown’ speeding past him. “All he does all day is drive around in that yoke. The thing’s spotless – he’s never worked a day in his life.”

“Sure God love him he’s probably making the nee-naaw noise while he’s driving too,” another colleague added. “It’s adorable really, like a child playing with an oversized Dinky.”

Despite the official-looking emergency lights, fellow motorists paid little attention.

“He was right up my hole so of course I slowed down to twenty below the limit just to annoy him,” one driver recalled, remembering the moment the non-emergency vehicle’s reg filled his rear-view mirror.

It is also understood Dunne likes to leave his high-viz vest clearly visible on the dashboard of the truck when parking it up for the night, in a further lame attempt to enhance the vehicle’s sense of authority.
