BRAKING NEWS Mrs Brown’s Boys teams up with motorcycling club to sponsor Skerries race – and Brendan O’Carroll may wave chequered flag at event

HILARIOUS telly show Mrs Brown’s Boys is motoring into a new ­adventure — sponsoring a top motorcycle road race.

Brendan O’Carroll’s show has teamed up with the East Coast Motorcycling Club to sponsor their September event at the Killalane Circuit ­outside Skerries, north Dublin.

Head of Branding for Mrs Brown’s Boys, Conor Gibney, is a Skerries man whose home is on the 5.8kilometre circuit which has a special logo featuring Agnes herself this year.

Conor told us: “Mrs Brown is a family and the Irish motorcycle community is such a close-knit community, they are almost a family.

“So, it’s one family ­sponsoring another.”

Mrs Brown’s Boys will help pay for more safety bales on the circuit, and additional safety features.

Producer Fiona Gibney said: “If we can bring money to the table and make it a safer race, that’s great.”

Road racing legend William ­Dunlop, 32, from Ballymoney, Co Antrim, lost his life last month in practice at the Skerries 100 race — which uses a nearby different ­circuit ­outside the seaside town.

Mrs Brown could even be waving the chequered flag with Brendan possibly making it to Skerries for the race weekend of September 8 and 9.

Conor said: “Brendan is over in Florida writing the Christmas special but he’s delighted that Mrs Brown is involved with the motorcycle community.
