RIP Ronnie....if evere there was a man to call a spade, a spade....it was Ronnie Drew.

I think the below is a fitting tribute, way more applicable than that which Bono and co. served up on the Late Late....

Have been trying to find an old audio recording my ma used to play years ago. Think it was called 'Ghosts of Kilmainham' where Ronnie narrated a history of Kilmainham Gaol intersperced with related songs. Found this excert of it but if anyone else knows where to source a copy it would be much appreciated:
