Last year at the All Ireland Fleadh Cheoil in Clonmel, I sung a song about Feargal O Hanlon and a lady in the audience came up to me and said that she had worked with O Hanlon in Monaghan Town Hall.She told me she had known with him for many years and worked with him for 2 years. She had never heard the song before and asked me for the words.She had first hand information on the raid on Brookborough Barracks. To reply to boglion, there was definately a man from Wexford on thet lorry load because he was a neighbour and good friend of mine.
