I always think of this guy picking up the rent boys in Phoenix Park and feigning ignorance every time.
I’d say he hates Leo because Leo had the balls to come out.

I’ll try to recount a story about the Stacks I heard once, you lads point out where I get it wrong:-

Basically the story I heard was that back during the hunger-strikes the Stacks had a hunger-striker in their family but most of the family remained staunchly anti-nationalist/pure-socialist. The hunger-striker Stack died and the family didn’t like the idea of Republicans turning up at the funeral, making their voices heard around the graveside. With the co-operation of the State the solution was that the Stack hunger-striker had his coffin dropped into the grave via helicopter (army helicopter I’m assuming) and then it was immediately covered over with concrete with no chance for graveside oration. As I understand it this funeral happened in Roscommon somewhere. The Stacks are a bad crowd and Austin Stack comes across as the worst of them.

Can anyone comment on the veracity of this tale or have I been fed a load of shite?

erm, you know the difference between the stagg family and the stack family?

You’re a top-class historian.

Was Austin Stacks father dishing out severe beatings to republican prisoners?

There’s an excellent documentary on the RTE player called “the three funerals of Frank Stagg” . An odd tale but I won’t spoil it on you. Enjoyable.

That’s possibly the finest bit of made up conflated history I’ve read in a while. There’s possibly a novel in it.

Most Republicans in Ireland would have been pretty conservative, there were only a few leftists. That was still true up to 1970 when the Belfast clique grabbed power.

I hope they make an example of that cunt.

Listened to that a few months ago. Mad story. I’d love to have heard Emmett Stagg’s opinions on the whole thing. Fair play to the former Minister for Justice from Westmeath (Paddy something) for contributing.
