      I agree with you on that one and no one else could do that acting like that
      He was just the perfect fit as they say
      He done us all very proud in the movie
      Really top guy and is one of the very best
      Actors ever in Irish movies which was based on the criminal underworld and true story ))
      God bless ya man enjoy your movies and documentary’s etc etc etc!!!!!

    Living in Dublin in the late 1980s was brilliant. I still remember fondly the smell of damp in the bedsits in Phibsboro and Rathgar when I worked as a Clerical Assistant in the Civil Service, on a take-home pay just 20 quid a week more than the dole. It was perfectly normal to drink pints of Harp.

So YES he is a legend!

    The real Martin Cahill reminds me a lot of Michael Collins in the picture of his face with his hair combed across. No disrespect to the Big Fellow himself intended. Of course both men were assassinated by republicans! Indeed Brendan Gleeson played both men in separate films. I remember the day Martin was shot dead, I was 13 at the time.

      Don't mind the film, it wasn't that obvious. Its not like they camped out side his house for months and then disappeared on the day of the shooting. If they did that it would be far too obvious and they themselves would probably end up being blamed, they stopped following him closely for a week or two before hand and people knew he wasn't being monitored so they had their chance, I mean who is going to go try shoot him if they thought the police were going to be watching.

      And yet he still managed to walk into Harcourt st Garda station and walk out with Garda uniforms and break into to chief of public prosecutions office.
      I knew someone that used to have to meet him and he'd tell me that Cahill would have to get a train from Connelly and get off in say Wicklow (or anywhere else outside of country Dublin) where he'd have a car waiting for him to whisk him away from his tail.
      And he'd have to be driven back to Dublin for their meeting. Imagine the hassle.

His attitude was, fuck the paramilitaries, i am a professional criminal and i only have interest in them if they can make me money or send the screws off my tracks. He was cunning and self centred. But all the great criminals are.
