Billa O'Connell's thoughts on The Statue

[@christinemccarthy4895]

Billa was truly a Cork treasure. He lived and breathed his City. Sad news this morning as he has passed away. Rest in peace Billa 🌹

Love billa! Happy days when he done panto, I was privileged to be practically reared in the Pitt of the opera house with the orchestra watching this man, a true legend xx

Rest easy Billa. I'm sure the staff in Marymount treated you like the Cork royalty you were and you had a peaceful send-off. They don't make 'em like you anymore

Was billa a famous hurler or have I the right man...had wonderful times working in Cork and around county Cork...the milk you see!!

[@viva2pk]

He was in the pantos in Cork Opera House. We went there every Christmas. He worked for Beamish. You might be thinking of Christie Ring (famous hurler). 😊

[@tomgreene2282]

@@viva2pk Thanks for reply ...but no ...this fellow was a hurler referred to as "Billa"
