SHEAMIE GARRIHY’S showbiz career has received another boost, having recently appeared in an extended version of a half time ad during the Super Bowl this week.

A number of Clare locations were used in the advert including the Cliffs of Moher, Kilmurry Ibrickane, Doolin, Carron and Miltown Malbay.

The advert by website designers Squarespace also features Hollywood star Barry Keoghan in a role similar to the one he played in the 2022 film “The Banshees of Inisherin”.

Forbes ranked the commercial as the best of the night, an impressive feat as it can cost up to $8 million for a 30 second slot during the ad break. The commercial, entitled ‘As Old as Websites’ features Keoghan riding a donkey around rural Ireland delivering laptops to people in a similar manner to a paper round.

The aspiring block layer from Kilfenora appears at the mid-point of the ad, emerging from a crowd wearing a flat cap and suspenders. He shouts “Hey, Squarespace man!”, after Keoghan as he continues on his journey on the donkey. The Dubliner then delivers one final laptop to a shepherd before riding the white donkey off a cliff and gradually rising into the sky. The often-photographed, uninhabited cliff-top cottage in Doolin makes an appearance near the start of the ad.

The extended version of the ad runs at 1 minute and 38 seconds, meaning it did not feature in its entirety as the Philadelphia Eagles ran out 40 – 22 winners over the three-in-a-row chasing Kansas City Chiefs.
