Is this the country's biggest 99? Irish store prepares for frenzy as heatwave looms
Is 9 inches enough for you this weather? Well, with the promised heatwave we have all been anticipating, is there a better way to cool down than with a good old fashioned 99 ice cream cone?
It has long been the favourite of Irish punters, and has never been outdone in the popularity stakes but one shop in County Meath has outdone itself with its giant frozen offering.

Staff at the shop are very proud of their 'Big Boy' ice cream, and with hot weather forecast for the coming week, the shop is bracing itself for a whipped ice-cream frenzy in the next couple of weeks as people queue out the door to get their mitts on 9 inches of delicious ice cream perched atop a crispy wafer.
The BIG BOY cone is not as expensive as you might think it could be, retailing for €3.60 without a chocolate flake and 4 euro with the chocolate.
Currans shop is said to be very busy all day, every day, with people looking to get their hands on the 9 inches of creamy coolness, and the ice cream machine is never switched off.
