Don, I seen Margaret Barry being interviewed by a famous BBC compere Cliff Michelmore on a TO-Night Programme in 1957, she told Cliff that she was looking for a man who could drink 57 bottles of Guinness a day, Cliff asked her why, and Magaret replied, " I drink 56".

Margaret last days were spent in the village of Laurencetown in Co Down, a friend of mine looked in on her daily as she suffered from cancer, he told me despite her suffering she always had a kind word for him, and greatly appreciated his visits.
