Cloyne’s brothers in arms

‘THE BROTHER’ was a comic but credible character created after the Second World War by the great columnist Myles na gCopaleen, kept alive nowadays in a superb one-man show by actor/comedian Eamonn Morrissey.

But of course, The Brother has always been with us. You needn’t necessarily be talking about your own, in fact you generally were not; the talk would be centred on a certain individual when someone, anyone, would suddenly introduce The Brother.

Ah yes, The Brother, always a different kettle of fish altogether.
