Re the Pat Kenny Show, Brian Behan wrote in his book 'The Brothers Behan (1998), 'I went on to say that I had given Dominic the word of "McAlpine's Fusiliers", so if we wanted to talk about who was a phoney, we should start there. The nearest he's ever been to a building site was when he posed as a hod carrier with a straw hat on his head.

I find this a strange comment as in the same book he also wrote 'Dominic wrote many great songs like "Liverpool Lou", "Avondale", "The Sea Around Us", and "The Patriot Game".
