Indeed, poor Ann.
Her younger sister committed suicide some time later as she suffered the same abuse as was visited on Ann.

Legend films fine roles he played. Watched Predator 1987 movie again recently it didn't age, remains a classic.

I enjoyed him in the Rocky's.

And he was the first man on the moon too, according to Homer Simpson (Apollo Creed, that is)

Sad news. At the time in the 90s a FG taoiseach was a rare thing. That was before FF tore the arse out of it.

Sad news indeed. Many disagreed with him over it, but showed great maturity and fair-mindedness over the NI question over the years. Was also an assured performer during the Brexit years. His worth was recognised by his appointment for a number of years as EU ambassador to Washington.

R.I.P
He lived in "interesting times".

Not a hope would there have been a GFA with Bruton at the helm. The historic pic of Hume Reynolds and Adams would never have taken place if John Bruton was still Taoiseach.
