One day
A friend of mine who is a comedian was in Manchester on a job and they had an evening off and they went to see the Dubliners, There was 2 drunken Irishmen in the front row and Luke Kelly said that he was going to sing a song that has never been sung in public before.
But ladies and gentlemen we will not be singing until these 2 drunks are removed.
20 minutes later Luke sang Scorn not his simplicity.
After the song was finished the audience were stunned and 15 minutes of silence followed followed by a huge round of applause like you never heard before.
Things happen when you are driving along and this thing will stay with me until I die.
I never got even near to a solution.
Coming up the hill to turn left on to St.Johns rd and Heuston station. There was a minder on my left with a mentally handicapped girl beside him. He looked at me and then put his right arm over her right shoulder and fondled her breast. I changed direction and went straight ahead and back around. They were heading into the John Of Gods compound and I went in. There was hundreds of minders and patients going around and I looked for the pervert. Then I asked to speak with the person in charge. One lady told me that there was no one in charge, so I had to go. Thinking about it now I should have said that there was a dead body lying near the gate.
I went to all the local Garda stations and I got the reply that they would have to see him do it before they would act. There was 2 other facilities who deal with mentally handicapped people and I got no reply.
I wrote to the Garda commissioner twice and got the same story, would you not just come and look was the last contact I had with the boys in blue.
There was a big place in Palmerstown which later had to close down when a huge expose of sexual misconduct came to light.
I pray to my god that things worked out for her in the end.
