The characters of Cork

I don't know if this guy has been mentioned before, if so it doesn't ring a bell. I've met him in Fitzgeralds Park a few times. About mid to late 70's(?), thin and has regaled me with parts of his life story. I think he grew up near Shandon Steeple. I was on Mary Street this morning and he had accosted 4 young British tourists and talking non-stop to them in his pleasant sing-song Cork accent. They weren't saying anything and it started raining. He left them with:

"I'm a clever fella, I brought my umbrella" and shouted after them: "You know what they can do with Brexit? Shove it out their Exit." Harmless guy.

Sounds like an old lad called Eugene who's always in the charity shops but he tells everyone he grew up on Paul St.

Haven't seen this lad around in a few months. Hope he's all right.
 
What became of that grumpy Alan Moore lookalike who worked in the music library in town? know he retired from there but he used to be a regular in Henchys (go there the odd time), haven't seen him there in about four or five years. Has he passed on?

Before I looked up Alan Moore I could imagine how you were talking about. His name is Bernard, don't know his surname. One of the biggest assholes I've ever met in my life.
