Did he win that case?

I remember when Bernie was around you'd see him everywhere. Barrack street, city centre, once I even saw him in Blackpool shopping centre.

My late friend
Peadair Beecher regularly held a one man picket outside St Finbarrs hospital

Barred for life from entering the N of Ireland
Small barrel of an angry man
When v young members of provisional SF wayyyyy back wed his heart broken,
He’d have a meltdown at times and threaten kneecappings etc

One time when we took over city hall during the Lord Mayors question time or such
As the law were bating him out of the chambers he shouted to Goldberg- “ pity Adolf didn’t get another few of ye”


There was fuckin uproar
Me and 2 other young fellas legged it pronto

Era life’s too short to be serious all the time
I got my letter to claim my pension last week so intend to grow old disgracefully,
Told my young fella “ you’ll know when I’ve finally lost it when I’m spotted on Carrigaline main st directing traffic in me drawers”

A night out with Siggy should hasten that along.
