Even on deathbed, Limerick never far from Frank’s mind

According to his brother Malachy, who had recently spent many weeks by his brother’s bedside, Frank still had some “unfinished emotional business with Limerick”. “He was in good spirits despite his medical condition. He was quite funny at times and you could see his eyes lighting up when he said something whimsical,” his 77-year-old brother said.

“He mentioned Limerick in recent days and said he would have liked to have spent more time there as he had some unfinished emotional business with Limerick. He was joking that he would have liked to annoy a few people.”
