John Joe McGirl was suspected to have a hand in that one at the time.

No shit, Sherlock

Tiede Herrema

[Cheasty]

If Ireland had any comedy talent there would have been a great sitcom made about that.

[Alphakrul1]

There was a bunch of them in that bloodline. Was it Pat that headed stateside in a hurry? I only knew Leo, and his lovely wife Rose, God rest her.

[Cheasty]

Pat McGirl, from the same lineage as Ulick Magee.

[Alphakrul1]

Ben Dunne, Phil McCrevice. Michael fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzmichael.

Derby County had a striker named Phil Gee. There’s a BBC sports journalist named Ben Dirs.

[farmerinthecity]

Liam McGirl, John Joe’s son took over his council seat anyway.

[Alphakrul1]

There’s definitely some howlers out there.

Ben was born in what is now Mahon, one of the most deprived areas of Cork, the house which was built by the Murphy family of stout fame is now a youthreach centre

Ben wasn’t the worst by any means

One of the most deprived places in cork?

That looks like it was designed by a kid with crayons.

[Thornhill]

Did he mean to say depraved ?

Did you even read my post
It’s smack bang in the middle of Mahon, a suburb which was built in the 1980s,
that house was pretty much derelict when i was a small fella but it’s got some community use now as an outreach centre and community garden.

[farmerinthecity]

But Ben Dunne was reared in that house?

He did.

@backinatracksuit

I’m pretty sure Ben was born and spent his early years about 100m from the house I grew up in

One of our own, RIP

@farmerinthecity

Maybe your family was loaded but Ben Dunne most certainly not one of my own, or the vast majority of people in the country.

I hope this clears it up, Mahon as a suburb didn’t exist when Ben lived there,
The house was built by the Murphy stout family like, Ben Dunne senior owned Dunnes Stores

[StoneCold]

I can only imagine the deprivation of growing up in a Victorian/Edwardian mansion
