When hannan has posted here before he has used no pseudonyms, so that is bullshit to beginwith. And even if it was, he has just as much a right to speak as you do.

Be very careful Kilbarry1 – If you say something on LIMERICK BLOGGER that is perceived as being in some way pro-Hannan then that means you are Hannan. The moderator will allow any criticism to be levelled at Hannan.

19th was a sad day for Ireland.

One of the greatest ever Irish authors has passed away.

He will be remembered forever through his books which are timeless masterpieces…R.I.P Frank.

Rest In Peace Frank McCourt. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself in “Angela's Ashes”, “T'is” and “Teacher Man”. I enjoyed your writing! An awesome story teller; you introduced me to my own Irish heritage. You will not be forgotten.

So you have no problem with the following then? Do you think that Teresa Carmody's family were unreasonable to be scandalised? Should they have joined in the chorus of adulation?

“Amongst the accusations levelled at McCourt by Hannan, was that he scandalised the family of a teenage girl named Tereasa Carmody, who McCourt claimed to have had sex with just days before she died of Tuberculosis. McCourt maintained however that it was a ficticious name. However, Hannan maintained that this was untrue as her mother is also named. A claim in Angelas Ashes against a man named Willie Harold, was conceeded to be untrue when Mr. Harold himself confronted McCourt at a book signing. In the book, McCourt claimed that Harold confessed to spying on his naked sister, even though Harold did not even have a sister.”
