Excellent obituary - really captures the spirit of the man and his admirers, has some (biting) humour, anecdotes of his life and times, well done!

I first met Haughey in 1968. He was a mean little bastard then and maintained that through the rest of his life and death.

A strange combination - a strongly anglophile Irishman who greatly disliked Unionists!
