‘I was delighted with the big, happy head on him': Stories of soundness restoring readers' faith in humanity
It's the summer time and it is a bank holiday so – for one day only – we are going to dispense with giving out and highlight some of the good and great customer-service stories we have heard of late. We are going to start with our friends in Ryanair as we know they think we are biased against them, something that could not be further from the truth. A reader called Emer mailed us at the start of July with a story she said was 'different to the norm as it is about two good news stories' rolled into one. Her good news begins in Bologna on July 4th with some very bad news indeed. READ MORE Emer admits that she is 'old school' and prints her boarding passes before travelling. This was something she, perhaps, had cause to regret on that particular Friday as both her and husband's passports and boarding passes were stolen. The theft happened at around midday on the day they were due to travel home and they had less than four hours to try to resolve the situation. Their first port of call was the authorities, Emer writes in her email. 'We immediately went to the police station to report the theft and contacted our son who was a travel rep some years ago and he contacted the consulate in Milan,' she continues. The couple knew the clock was ticking and – given that it was a Friday afternoon, things were looking bleak. 'The consulate contacted us and told us to go to their office in Milan on Monday as they were closing for the weekend and could not help us till then. We could not book a hotel anywhere as we had no identification,' she says. [ Where's the humanity? Customer experience report shows service in Ireland is getting worse Opens in new window ] 'With our police report of the theft we got a taxi to the airport on the very off-chance we would be allowed on the Ryanair flight with our Irish social welfare travel cards as an only means of identification,' she writes. 'We told our story to the girl on the luggage check-in desk and she talked to her supervisor, and then to Dublin, to see if they would let us through passport control and if we would be allowed on the flight.' Pricewatch would not have been holding out much hope at this stage, we have to say. 'Word eventually came from Dublin and we were on our way home. So a huge thank you to Ryanair and their check-in staff,' Emer writes. We can only assume the couple were able to make it through passport control without their passports – and Emer adds a second piece of good news which was that she and her husband applied for new passports on the Sunday after they arrived home and three days later their new passports came through the door. 'So thank you to the staff at Ryanair for your caring and compassionate response to our plight and thank you to the staff for your efficiency and speed in the passport office.' Next up is Phil from Navan who says he is 'always more fond of e-mailing about great customer service than bad'. He visited Decathlon in Dublin recently searching for what he describes as his 'very comfy socks, which I'd clicked and was collecting. I struggled to get from the car to the click and collect location because of my mobility disability. Meanwhile the security guard was eyeing me up the whole time.' 'The security guard sprang into action to slide me over a trolley and ensure I was staying upright safely.' Photograph: iStock Phil successfully collected his order and turned around and noted that the security guard 'still had my eyes and I beckoned over towards the trolleys and asked if he could please get me one – all this without speaking to him! 'Quick as a flash he sprang into action to slide me over a trolley and ensure I was staying upright safely. I followed my family around the shop, stopping by to pick up some more comfy socks,' he writes. 'I emailed the shop that evening telling them that I was delighted with the big, happy head on him.' Noeleen had a very positive experience with Petworld recently. 'I telephoned them on March 31st at about 11.30am asking about their delivery service. I told the helpful girl that I was rehoming a dog and needed a crate urgently.' Noeleen was told to place an order online, which she did at 11.55am. The Petworld staff member told her the order would be marked as urgent as soon as it showed up on their systems. 'The courier delivered the item at 12.14pm the following day, just two hours after the dog arrived.' Noeleen 'needed a crate urgently' to rehome a dog. Photograph: iStock Louise got in touch to praise David Cullen Jewellers in Clare Hall. 'I dropped in a chain for repair but it couldn't be repaired on site,' she says. 'I received a text when it was sent off and a phone call to confirm I was happy. I also got another text message with an estimated completion time and was updated daily and called when it was ready.' And, speaking of jewellery, we also heard from Sheelagh. She recently wrote to Newbridge Silverware in connection with a bracelet her sister had given her which had broken. She returned it to the company for repair and in her note said – in a by-the-way fashion – that her sister had bought five bracelets at the same time for herself and each of her sisters 'to mark a sisters weekend. Unfortunately my sister has lost her own bracket on the very day she gave them to us,' Sheelagh writes. To her surprise, she subsequently received not one but two bracelets from Newbridge, with an invitation to a factory tour at any point in the future. A reader called Caroline recently needed to have some building work done on her home. 'Unfortunately, the external structure needed a bigger job than I had envisioned and more unfortunate again was the builder I initially asked to do the work.' [ How to find the right builder: check the Construction Industry Register Opens in new window ] She says he went missing in action and she ended up dealing directly with the steel manufacturer. 'Here is where my faith in humanity was restored. From my very first call to Keystone Lintels in Cookstown, wherein I advised them of my situation, they were exceptional. Aimee in customer service was always efficient and patiently kind. Their technical engineer, Paul, hearing of my plight, contacted me directly asking how they could be a part of the solution. They have gone above and beyond in addressing a problem that was not their issue. A woman called Terry was in touch to say she had 'the most positive experience dealing with the VHI in sorting out my upcoming renewal. I was not at all happy with the new quote for my health plan and the lady I spoke to went to extraordinary lengths to help find a plan to suit my budget,' she writes. 'I explained that I couldn't understand the complex range of plans on offer, I just wanted a very basic plan. The lady spent almost three-quarters of an hour clearly and in simple language finding me that plan, and making sure I was happy. No add-ons, or trying to make a sale, just giving me what I needed. So patient, customer service at its best.' Three cheers for staff at Dublin Bus. Photograph: Bryan O'Brien Catherine got in touch to share 'a very positive experience I had with Dublin Bus staff'. She notes that the company 'often gets a bad press with the phenomenon of the 'disappearing buses' and frequent talk of unpunctuality etc. However, I wanted to highlight our really positive experience recently.' Catherine's teenage daughter was travelling on the Number 40 bus late on a Tuesday from Lesson Street to Drumcondra. 'Unfortunately she left her new iPhone and ID card on the bus when she left the bus in Drumcondra. Cue panic all round. She managed to get the number of the bus depot from another bus driver. She called next morning without much hope or expectation. A friendly voice said they had the phone and to 'come on out'. So, the mother and daughter drove to the Harristown bus depot 'and she was met by a number of staff in the lost property department who had all the details of her phone and who were all friendly and very helpful. 'After some quick ID verification she emerged completely thrilled with her iPhone, her ID Card and some money (notes) that she had tucked into the back of the phone. Who says the age of honesty is dead? Three cheers for the driver of the Number 40, the brilliant staff in Harriston bus depot and for the honest person who handed in the phone.' [ Ireland's best and worst customer service: Guess which list Aer Lingus and Facebook are in Opens in new window ] We also heard from Donal from Sligo who noted that Pricewatch occasionally 'offer bouquets instead of brickbats and today I would like to nominate a company for a bouquet. For the past number of years my wife and I have travelled frequently by ferry between Ireland and France and Ireland and the UK. We travel exclusively with Stena ferries because their booking system is easy to navigate and if there are particular needs to be addressed there is a phone number.' He also says the 'telephone is always answered promptly by a person' and he adds that the 'personnel on the end of the phone have always been friendly, helpful and efficient.' He suggests that the 'same staff culture is also evident on board their ferries and at the ports. It is so refreshing to receive such welcome customer service with no sign of a bot. I would emphasise that the only connection we have with Stena is as satisfied customers.' Declan's tank took a little less than the 1,000 litres of home heating oil he'd ordered. Photograph: iStock Declan from Dublin mailed about a brief encounter with good customer service 'by way on contrast with so many of the other kind which we hear about'. He says he recently ordered 1,000 litres of home heating oil from Capital Oil/Local Fuels and paid €838 by credit card. 'However, the tank took a little less than that, costing about €18 less. This was shown on the docket left on delivery. I meant to send an email but did not get around to it for about a week. 'Doing a routine check on my account, I found that the difference had been credited back to it by Capitol Oil without any intervention from me, in contrast with the dozens of complaints you get about how difficult it is to get valid refunds from so many companies. Good customer relations or what?' Then there was Damian, who got in touch after coming back from 10 days in Spain where he had hired a car through National in Malaga. He had the basic insurance cover as he had an excess policy with AIG. He says that, to cut a long story short, half way through his holiday he had parked outside a supermarket when 'some kind soul in the same make parked beside me using the side panel of my car as a guide to park his'. He says this caused four small one-inch scrapes in the paintwork. 'Goodbye to my €1,700 excess with National, I thought, but upon my return and when I pointed them out to the agent in full disclosure mode, his response was we don't worry about small scratches like that. Now that is a great end to a holiday.' We also have a good news story about Eir. On Tuesday June 10th Peter reported two manhole covers and surrounding paving in disrepair in his housing estate in Wicklow. A week later they had been replaced and repaired. 'Fair dues to Eir and their contractors for fast and efficient service.' And finally there is Diarmuid, who bought a hand-held vacuum cleaner last November from Lidl at a cost of €25. 'I only got round to using it three weeks ago and found that it would not charge so I contacted Lidl . I also had lost the receipt. Today I received a new replacement model from the manufacturer in Germany.' As we were reading through all of these stories something struck us. They are all linked by a single thread. Soundness. Sometimes customer service is not that complicated and if businesses just made the decision to be sound or to empower their staff to be sound, then we would have a lot less to be giving out about on this page and our world would be a much better place.

One Night in Dublin ... at the museum: A nocturnal walkabout at the Irish Museum of Modern Art
At 10pm on a Thursday night, a fox slips out from the shadows at the gates of the Irish Museum of Modern Art (IMMA). Historian Barry Kehoe follows close behind, regarding the fox with professional suspicion. A guide for the night, Kehoe leads the way up a path by now well trodden; he has just shy of 25 years at IMMA under his belt. Kehoe adjusts his head lamp and offers a small torch as the sky quickly darkens. 'The Drummer' by Barry Flanagan, 1941–2009 in the grounds of the Irish Museum of Modern Art IMMA in Kilmainham. Photo: Bryan O'Brien Royal Hospital Kilmainham at night, home to the Irish Museum of Modern Art IMMA. Photo: Bryan O'Brien He heads towards the courtyard as the fox disappears into a hedge. Presumably he has rounds to do. By day, IMMA is full of chatter and curated light. But by night, it's quieter and more theatrical. The building looms in a way it doesn't during daylight hours, suddenly more mausoleum than gallery. READ MORE 'We're walking with Dublin's dead,' Kehoe says, referencing the graveyard a stone's throw away on the site of the Royal Hospital in Kilmainham on the west side of Dublin city. He speaks in hushed tones as if not to disturb them. Built between 1680 and 1684, the Royal Hospital was once home to hundreds of retired soldiers and was the capital's main burial grounds. In more recent history, a temporary mortuary was erected on the old hospital grounds in grim anticipation of a Covid-19 surge in 2020. Today it houses more than 4,500 contemporary artworks by Irish and international artists. Kehoe is not alone within these walls. Aside from the company of ghosts of Ireland past, somewhere in the east wing is artist-in-residence Eoghan Ryan. He lives onsite, in the old stables at the edge of the museum complex only a short walk from the main building. Ryan's immaculate studio shines like a beacon on the otherwise darkened campus. Inside, the walls are painted with brightly coloured trains and a desk in the corner is covered with the works of Thomas Kinsella . The collection is inherited, says Ryan; the poet was his grand-uncle. IMMA artist-in-residence Eoghan Ryan at work in the old stables. Photograph: Bryan O'Brien Artist Eoghan Ryan at the door of his studio/residence at IMMA. Photo: Bryan O'Brien The multidisciplinary artist from Dublin moved back from Berlin and has lived on IMMA's grounds since January, one of a lucky few who have been granted a place on the museum's Dwell Here residency programme. While Ryan's stay lasts a year, others are here on a shorter contract. 'If people come for a month, they're really on a different buzz,' he says. 'The tempo shifts.' The blurring of domestic and professional quarters is not unfamiliar to Ryan. 'I don't know if it's the healthiest relationship,' he says, as he thinks aloud, 'to be so close to the institution that you're working in. But it's something I've been doing a lot in my life.' Much of his artwork – a blend of performance, puppetry and video installations – wades 'through the entanglements with institutions', meditating on systems of power. 'So living close, at that line between where something is made and something is shown, is kind of interesting.' A few days after we meet, Ryan's latest project – a collaborative dance performance piece – takes place on IMMA's grounds. 'It's a very specific mode that I really enjoy, being in a place and getting to know a place as a stage. You start to see things in a different way.' There are some uneasy contradictions, as well, that the artist grapples with. 'You're living in a completely surreal situation, especially when there's a large housing crisis in the city and you're living in a gated ex-military hospital,' says Ryan. 'It's very odd. It adds to the theatre of things. Everything starts to feel weirdly fictional when you come home from the pub and have to press the gate.'

Photograph: Bryan O'Brien But eventually, 'you do start to switch off from the strangeness of it all'. 'There is something comforting about knowing if you get really scared at night, you can go over to the security guards with a blanket. It's nice to know they're there,' he says. One of the security guards on night duty, Keely Raghavendra, takes a brief pause from patrol to say hello. 'Sometimes I scare myself,' Raghavendra says. When it gets into the wee hours of the morning, the shadows can start to play tricks on even the most grounded guard. 'I saw something in a basement. When I opened the door someone was looking at me. I was scared for a second, then I closed it and relaxed. Then I opened it again and it was gone,' he recalls. [ Lunch with a side of art: Seven Irish galleries with great cafes Opens in new window ] After a sound sleep knowing security have his back, Ryan's days to tend start early, usually at about 6.30am. Looking out the bedroom window in the morning, he often finds a spectacle. 'You wake up and there's always something weird. I woke up last Wednesday and there were just a load of soldiers rehearsing for the commemoration‚' he says, referring to last month's National Day of Commemoration Ceremony . 'I opened the blinds and was like: 'Oh great, this is happening today.'' With the exception of the museum's resident seagulls who continue to swoop and squawk even at night, the museum's courtyard feels otherworldly – strangely detached from its city setting. IMMA's permanent collection at night is a sight to behold. Much of the artwork takes on a new energy. 'When the lights are fully on, the red is a lot more dominant,' says Kehoe, considering Vik Muniz's Portrait of Alice Liddell, after Lewis Carroll. 'Seeing it now gives a completely different sense and feel to it.' Barry Kehoe with Mnemosyne, 2002, by Alice Maher in the IMMA gallery space.

Photo: Bryan O'Brien Machines whirr and hum, keeping control of the galleries' humidity levels and providing ambient background noise for a steady stream of consciousness as we take in the art. An audio loop of bird song from a distant installation filters through. Kehoe steps inside IMMA's baroque chapel, which was consecrated in 1686. It is pitch black. Stained glass windows gifted to the Royal Hospital by Queen Victoria in 1849 cast an eerie reflection on to the chapel wall. 'You can sort of feel the weight of history in this part of the building that you don't quite feel in the rest of it, because it still has that very ceremonial element to it,' Kehoe says, shining a torch over the decorative windows. 'They used to lock the pensioners out of the chapel because if they came in here during the daytime they'd fall asleep.' [ Sam Gilliam: Sewing Fields review – At Imma, an outstanding experimentalist's work takes over three floors Opens in new window ] From there, Kehoe walks on to the Master's Quarters, the palatial dwelling place of the hospital's masters and their families. Passing from the old diningroom through deserted corridors, Kehoe comes to stand in the Oak Room. He says it contains the strongest poltergeist presence. 'There's a lot of potential about these rooms in terms of great events. It's believed that some of the leaders of the 1916 Rising may have been questioned here before their executions,' he says. A light drizzle starts to fall as Kehoe enters the Master's Garden, an expansive green space dotted with fruit trees and cherub statues. The isolated cherubs once formed part of the triangular plinth of the Victoria Statue removed to the Royal Hospital from Leinster House, home to Dáil Éireann, in 1948. 'It's a strange sound oasis. The walls and the trees kind of cut out the city's sound,' says Kehoe. Apartment blocks and cranes join Phoenix Park's Wellington monument on the city's night-time skyline above the treetops. Barry Kehoe the military cemetery in the grounds of Royal Hospital Kilmainham. Photograph: Bryan O'Brien 'Weirdly, the city is growing up around us. When I started working here you wouldn't have had any of that in the skyline so you wouldn't have seen anything over the wall of the garden,' says Kehoe. A swarm of bats descend at the headstone of Master Lord Frederick Roberts' beloved warhorse, Volonel. Erected in the garden in 1899 with great ceremony, the headstone's original location meant it could be seen from the windows of the Master's Quarters. Lord Wolseley, who preceded Roberts, also buried his treasured dog Caesar in the garden, under a mulberry bush. Moving from one miniature cemetery to a far greater one, Kehoe's tour arrives inside the gates of Bully's Acre where more than 200,000 estimated burials were made. As the main public burial ground for Dublin city before Glasnevin Cemetery, dating from the early 1600s until 1833, there are a few big names in the soil beneath. The remains of Brian Boru 's son and grandson are thought to have been buried here after the Battle of Clontarf. Bully's Acre was subject to much body snatching over the years. In more recent history, Robert Emmet was laid to rest here following his 1803 execution up the road from here on Thomas Street. However, his body was later secretly dug up and taken elsewhere; its final resting place a mystery . At the far end of the grounds, the Royal Hospital's recently restored military cemetery lies unlit and exposed to the open road. An ambulance blares past as the museum sleeps behind the walls. The night outside holds many more stories beyond the Royal Hospital. Next in the 'One Night in Dublin' series - a night out with Dublin's street cleaners - on Wednesday

Jerry Fish: ‘I'm a London-born Dub but I discovered most of my DNA is from exactly where I now live'
How agreeable are you? It depends on what you want from me. I'm friendly, easy going, reasonable, but I've never been a pushover. What's your middle name and what do you think of it? My middle name is Joseph, and it was my grandmother's name, Josie, and my grandfather's as well as my father's and my brother's first name. It's a family name. I think it's strong and friendly. Where is your favourite place in Ireland? I just love Ireland as a country, especially when the sun is shining. I tell people that I live where the last wolf in Ireland was killed, on Mount Leinster, where we've been for 20 years. It's quite strange because I did the DNA thing, and I discovered that most of my DNA is from exactly where I live. I'm obviously here for a reason. That said, I'm a Dub, and my family and ancestors are all inhabitants of Raytown [better known as Ringsend], the mouth of the river Liffey in Dublin, so my heart is at Poolbeg lighthouse in Dublin Bay. Describe yourself in three words. An emotional fish. READ MORE When did you last get angry? I was very angry when I was the singer in An Emotional Fish in the 1990s. I was disappointed to find that as a working-class person I was isolated in the music industry, and that most of the industry comprised middle-class people whom I didn't really understand at the time. I wanted to be Iggy Pop. I still look to Iggy as a role model, but he is cool, not angry. Luckily, I've veered more towards the former than the latter. What have you lost that you would like to have back? I've never had an inkling to look back, but I've lost a lot of dear friends – I lost my best friend when he was 20. I've realised recently that not only have I spent a lot of my life dealing with grief, but also with the realisation that grief comes with a gift, which is the knowledge that we're all visitors to this world, that we're just passing through. What's your strongest childhood memory? I grew up in south London, an Irish immigrant. We were the melting-pot generation, so my parents were greeted by the infamous 'No blacks, no dogs, no Irish' signs. Yeah, welcome to London. It was a diverse, tough childhood; most of my peers were from the Caribbean or were cockneys. The older I get, however, the more I reflect on my childhood in London. I'm grateful for it because I think the 1960s and 70s, in particular, were when Britain changed. It became a new Britain, if you like, a new people, and I'm still quite proud to have been part of that London community. [ 'No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs': Irish Times readers recall seeing notorious signs in Britain Opens in new window ] Where do you come in your family's birth order, and has this defined you ? I'm the eldest of six. I left home at 17, returned to the UK and started travelling. The eldest has responsibilities; I had to help out a lot, and that certainly taught me things, but I also had the fortune of being able to leave first, to escape chaos. What do you expect to happen when you die? No idea, but you are what you bring to the party, not what you take from it. If you spend your life being kind and generous, you leave that behind, and that rolls forward. If you're mean, you put that on the Earth. When were you happiest? I spent much of my misspent youth playing in garage rock bands and living as a beach bum in the Mediterranean, but I became happiest of all when I became a father. Even though I had a tremendously liberating youth that I can recall great moments, from being in An Emotional Fish, touring the world, even before that, sleeping on beaches and not having any worries or cares. Fatherhood filled a gap, something I realised I was missing. Which actor would play you in a biopic about your life? I recently watched the Robbie Williams biopic, Better Man, where he was portrayed by a chimpanzee. In my biopic, which would be directed by the late David Lynch or Wes Anderson, I could be played by a fish. Which fish? I think carp have great faces. [ Better Man review: Robbie Williams as a monkey is a surprising look at the ego-driven's star's life Opens in new window ] What's your biggest career/personal regret? I think everything happens for a reason, and we learn from our mistakes and failures. I've been through many ups and downs, but they all led to a better place in some way. I'm very happy in the here and now, and for me, that's where it works. Have you any psychological quirks? I'm an artist who ran away with the circus, so I am a psychological quirk. It's a whole mess, a circus, and I am its monkey. In conversation with Tony Clayton-Lea Jerry Fish brings his Electric Sideshow and Fish Town to Electric Picnic, August 29th-31st,
