Sad to hear about Barney, I didn't know about that.

The question asked was not how many "founding members" but "How many of the original Dubliners are alive?". John was an original Dubliner in the sense that he was in the group at the time it first became famous, and has, I think, featured on all their recordings - certainly he's been credited an every Dubliners' album I ever seen (at least 10).

I think he must now be the only "original Dubliner" left?
