I read Borstal boy as a nipper, he was the epitome of working Irish wit and my hero

[@seamus7399]

Great actor & great comedian & pure gentleman. RIP Niall 🙏

[@ozzie-sk9dh]

For this Niall Tobin deserves the title of Honorary Dubliner. Which for a Cork man is the highest honor to which they aspire. Our pleasure Niall. Don't mention it.

My father used to say I reminded him of Brendan Behan, with our Irish ancestors I had to find out more, as you will note my name is 'Gorman' there are plenty of Gormans in southern Ireland, anyway I like a drink, not more than one per quarter hour as per Brendan Behan's father's advice, flattered my father drew a link with myself and Brendan, RIP Denis, Slainte!

He did the cabaret in the Clontarf Castle in the eighties. I never laughed so much.

My uncles Murty and Micheal were in Mounjoy locked up with Brendan Behan and other patriots back in approx 1942 to 1946 my uncles and others broke out but they couldn't let Brendan know as he was for ever talking and gossiping in his beautiful way around the jail house.....My Uncle Murty broke his ankle jumping off the wall he got back to Cork and in hiding until the amnesty which left Behan out early the lads who broke out were still on the run (pardon pun) my Uncle used to to be brought to visit his mother (my Grandmother) and family in the North Main street up over there grocery shop my Uncle used to dress up as an old Cork woman and two lads one on each side would link arms and walk him to the shop in the night one night when they openend the door they heard about 3 men talking and shouting and my Grandmother talking back if not crying so they hurried back out the door and away they went and hid in the lane way nexdoor one of the lads went up then to see if it were the Garda looking for Uncle Murty but on waking up into the kitchen whos only there by the fire and sitting at the table but Brendan Behan he had been reciting his latest play to my Grandmother to see what she might of thought of it and of course playing the parts of the 2 0r 3 characters himself he had my Grandmother in hysterics she was crying laughing at Brendan & Co ....😂. When Brendan later in the early 60's would come to Cork to visit Uncle Murty out the Magazine road he'd always turn up adhock like as most people did back in the day as the Texting machines were'ent around then ofcourse !! and if no one was in he would have a slash in the porch so when the family got back they'ed always know Brendan had been to visit...😂😂😂😂. ahh Happy days where are they gone ? not far I tell ou there in my head mush there in my head....☘🏴‍☠⚓

Wonder if Behan and Tobin ever met? Wouldn't it be a very interesting encounter.

[@jakenconor]

In case anyone is wondering, @21.10 some softbrained imperialist thought it necessary to cut out the name of the IRA, (The Irish Republican Army) , in which Behan served as a volunteer for his country. A pathetic piece of censorship that almost spoils this otherwise wonderful piece of work. Up The Republic.
