    He resides in Dublin. I’m sure he lives in Dublin. He used to live in Cavan. He used to live in Hanoi also.

    @Jack Hayes: Your use of “also” at the *end* of a sentence is indicative of you being either not Irish, or not Educated in Ireland.

    @Pink Freud: Who claimed I was Irish or educated in Ireland?! You might ‘also’ examine your own syntax i.e. ”…indicative of you being either not Irish…’.

    Aswell as claiming he’s a dublin man, later in the article you call him a clare man. He is a cavan man, facts matter.

    @Eamonn:
    If facts matter he will have to be called a Hanoi man.

    @Eamonn: Facts do matter Eamonn. What are the facts you either stated or used to support your assertion?

    @Eamonn: So, in conclusion, he could not be a more well rounded all-islander of an Irishman
    ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
    But had he been a GAA man, well holy god, that would be far too many counts of inter-county betrayals. A holy terror altogether! Playing for all while serving none. Tut! Tut! Tut!
    XD :-P
