    Not sure but Pigheads always hearing people say he can always be found Uphisownarse wherever that is. Think its near Bigego on the northside.

    Lived in Celbridge for over 20 years, never heard this claim to fame before.... Posters on the Kildare Co. Co. forum mistaking him for Damien Rice perhaps?

    It's possibly his family moved, but I used to know his younger brothers, who're from Donnycarney kinda area... A bit more in towards Killester really. Maybe the above buttercup park assertion is correct.

    (edit; That maybe is to say that Buttercup Park may well be where I've just tried to describe. I don't really know.)

    He's definitely not from Ballymun. He was born in Firhouse but moved to Athy when he was in junior school. My sister dated his uncle in '76 and used to babysit Glen the odd time.
