Liam Cosgrave certainly had longevity.

His coalition gov in the mid 70s  might have survived the stingiest meanest budget in the republic's history as well as the notoriety of the culchee thugs, Edmund Garvey's Heavy Gang, but didn't have a chance of surviving the "Minister for Hardship".

I will always remember Cosgrove as the man who was central to the state sponsored clusterfuck that was the "investigation" into the Dublin + Monaghan bombings.
Again , at Cosgrove's behest , the families were then treated worse than criminals for many years afterwards.

That's Liam Cosgraves legacy.

Paul Howard's line about him was good

"I saw my brother fight at the National Stadium. It was at a Depeche Mode concert." Remembering all the laughs Sean Hughes gave me today.

Ah I liked Sean. Sean's Show was weird but enjoyable. Was really good on Buzzcocks too. Sad to hear. Age 51, that's no age at all.

RIP Sean. Thanks for the laughs.

Cirrhosis of the liver. Sounds like he drank himself to death.
