Mandy replied: “I didn’t even know him. Apparently he had been banished by the family in the nineties.
Paddy wondered: “Why’s that?”
“Don’t know. Uncle Zak couldn’t remember,” Mandy answered.
Paddy joked: “Dingles you see, you hold grudges. Once you’re out, you’re out.”
Mandy continued: “Well the only one thats kept in contact with him is cousin Drisella and she was doing it on the sly.

“Anyway, she needs help cleaning the house and she wondered if we could give her a hand. Any volunteers?”
Paddy replied: “Don’t look at me. I’m pulling out the ‘not a proper Dingle’ card.”
“Ah very convenient,” Mandy replied, before asking Sam if he’d help the family.
However, he said: “Ah I’ve got to get to work.”
It was later decided that Sam and Vinny Dingle (Bradley Johnson) will head off to Ireland to see what they can find in their late relatives home.
