Dani Galligan knows when we’re at our most vulnerable. About 3pm this #24HrDub Sunday.

We caught up with Dani Galligan and made her look deep into her soul with our soul searching questions. Well, at least we made her Google herself which you couldn’t, wouldn’t, shouldn’t have done in our day but how and ever… So Dani – where can we find you online? I had never googled myself. […]
