yes- you must have felt a lot of validation when you saw that

[font=Calibri][size=4]Sounds like a great send off for Páidí in Ventry yesterday. He was quite a [/size][/font][font=Calibri][size=4]character and the sheer range of the guests mingling yesterday really summed up both his inclusivity and indeed the nature of a real Irish funeral. Where else would you find a lad who was banged up in Mountjoy during the summer (and whose father is doing time at the moment) drinking afterwards with a former Prime Minister and mingling with a retired Supreme Court judge.[/size][/font]

Páidi was capable of walking with kings and peasants alike

Paidi was the one man in Munster who the ability to bring doctors and dockers together.

I wonder did Sean Jnr get talking to the retired Supreme Court judge. Wasn’t he the judge who got involved on behalf of Philip Sheedy when he was banged up?

Yeah. Hugh O’Flaherty is from Cahirciveen. O’Flaherty acted for Paidi in a protracted licencing dispute back in the 80’s when Paidi was starting out in the pub business.

I am sure you all have seen this before.

It is hilarious for three reasons for me:

1. The nature of the punches. Allen’s is quite sneaky. Paidi doesn’t go to the floor but just stands up and ‘gives him a right belt’.
2. The referee runs in and slips on his arse.
3. The punishment (which you don’t see) was to shake hands.

Strange you’d bump this thread given you thought Paidi was a thundering cunt
