The playground from Hardy Bucks
Filming Location in Swinford, Mayo, Ireland
This is the Castletown playground from Hardy Bucks.
It is situated on Kilkelly Road in Swinford, County Mayo.
It was here that Francis "The Viper" Higgins agreed to fight the Sligo boys.
Higgins becomes confident that he can take the gang on after he manages to secure the help of Lou and the Parnell Street Dragons. However, when Lou arrives, it quickly becomes clear that he is actually a part of the Sligo boys.
Realizing that he has been double-crossed, "The Viper" unleashes Shady Ganley from the boot of his car. Unfortunately for Higgins, Ganley immediately turns around and runs for the hills.
In the next scene, the Sligo boys are forcing the Viper to "shift" a car.
Believing that things have gone too far, Eddie and the gang decide to step in.
Following a compromise, it is agreed that the Viper will undergo "an ancient Chinese disciplinary action from the 12th century Wong dynasty."
He is then placed face-down on a swing in the playground while everyone takes turns slapping him on the backside.
