Jaysus: weird to think of him only being 64. Thought he was older.

Seen him in the Abbey many years ago.
Great live actor.

I went out to Spiddal one evening a few years back to see if I could hear some native Irish. He was working on Ros na Rún at the time.

I went into a pub and had a few pints with the paper. In all the time I was there, the only Irish I heard anyone speak was Mick Lally when he answered his mobile for a minute!

He was a national icon really. RIP.

So long Mick, I used to love your duffle coat.
