Croagh Patrick descent time?

I climbed Croagh Patrick during the June Bank Holiday weekend - and I recall being told that the descent record for Croagh Patrick is 10min (or there abouts).
Can anyone confirm this as I was ridiculed for suggesting that this was plausable.
Cheers.
cormac o ceallaighJun 3 2008, 7:02ami understand the fastest descent time was recorded by John Brooks about 3 yrs ago when he clocked 14mins odd,he was virtually airborne on his descent. i also understand he set an over all record that year.

Myself, Mark Caslin and Trumps McCauley tobogganed off the Reek in the first hour of January 1st 1994 in 'no time at all'. 60cm of snow and a few old coal sacks made all the difference.
