Subject: RE: Margaret Barry
Basically, there were two Margarets: the quiet homebody, and the one who undoubtedly did poke her finger in the chest of the Governor. She became an entirely different person when in public. She loved to play leading lady opposite male stars. At the Bunratty Pub on Kingsbridge Road, the Kerry fiddler, Johnny Cronin, used to clown around with her. She told me of many nights spent at the Brazen Head in Dublin in the company of Brendan Behan.
