Shane Lowry asks Dublin Airport to find his lost golf clubs with hilarious Father Ted comparison

Shane Lowry has asked Dublin Airport to find his lost golf clubs with a hilarious Father Ted clip.

It appears that Lowry has become the latest golfer to have his clubs go missing at the capital's airport, which has been plagued by baggage issues in recent months.

Tweeting the clip, Lowry wrote: "Can you help find my missing golf clubs and suitcase @DublinAirport?"

The video shows Father Ted quizzing Dougal on where Father Jack was after he lost him once again in the famous TV comedy.

In the clip, Ted says: "And you lost him again?

Dougal replies: "That must have been what happened alright yeah."

That prompts Ted to ask what Dougal has to say for himself, to which he responds: "Well Ted, like I said the last time, it won't happen again."

Ted then asks Dougal is he not going to look for him, with Dougal replying by saying: "Ah Ted he'll come back on his own. Sure what's the worst that could happen to him?"

The incident comes just weeks after Leona Maguire's golf clubs went missing days before a tournament after taking a flight from Dublin to Geneva.

But the Cavan golfer was reunited with her clubs a short time later.

She initially tweeted: "Really need help from someone at Dublin Airport or DAA.

"Flew from Dublin to Geneva yesterday direct and somehow my golf bag has gone missing between check-in and take-off."

"FlySWISS & Swissport News have no idea where it is. Need it urgently for EvianChamp major this week."

In a follow up tweet, the one-time winner on the LPGA Tour claimed that her bag wasn't on the Swiss Airlines system, meaning it is even more difficult to locate.

"Airtags are no help because Swiss Airlines can’t locate the bag in their system," said the 27-year old.

Dublin Airport replied claiming that there was nothing that they could do to help, and that the issue could only be resolved by the airline.

It read: "Very sorry to hear this, Leona.

"Hopefully your airline is able to advise you soon on the whereabouts of your clubs.

"We do not have access to information regarding baggage as this function is looked after entirely by airlines and their handling partners."

However, Maguire later tweeted that the bag had been found by "a legend called Claire".
