@sean_sdeego92 @14HenriettaSt @BallyboughDub @NEIC_Dublin I did an interview an elderly man who remembered Brendan Behan in a fight in Paddy Claire’s pub on Foley Street. He recalled, “Brendan would cause trouble in a confession box, he said to a man looking over at a woman, she has a face like a pan of fried maggots.” It was his wife.

@tracyohanlon74 @SuzieD755164 @rtenews @marie_sherlock How can you be in the wrong place at the wrong time. When you’re in your own home when somebody comes to your home and tries to murder you. It doesn’t make sense what she said.

@fallon_donal Nice photos Donal, it’s a while since I met your mother and father. I’m off the drink 2 years. It’s time to go back and have a pint. Roll on “Paddy’s Day.”
