When Paco arrived at his hotel, after an intense day sightseeing Dublin, he decided to watch TV for a while and relax. There was a special programme about one of his favourite groups, U2, whose members come from Dublin. The programme included an interview with the group and with the singer, Bono.
INTERVIEWER: I think you are now in Dublin for a short time. Am I right?
BONO: Yes, that's right. We are leaving soon because we are starting a new tour with a series of concerts around Europe.
INTERVIEWER: When does the tour start?
BONO: We start in Berlin with our first concert in April and then we are also going to Paris, Rome, Barcelona...
INTERVIEWER: Do you miss home when you are travelling?
BONO: Of course! I'm too busy the whole year so when I come back home, I feel I haven't got enough time to see everyone: family, friends... But it's also great to come back after such a long time. I appreciate it more.
INTERVIEWER: And what's it like getting around Dublin when you are here?
BONO: Fine. I normally stay in my house in the outskirts of Dublin and just see family and friends, just pretty normal.
INTERVIEWER: How do you get along with your group?
BONO: Fantastic! They are great people!
