Gerry Maher RIP

This was a great man. He worked in St James Gate Brewery and was a real FWUI man.

A Finglas stalward and one of the most charitable people I ever met. I never double crossed anyone in his life. He was a great friend to me for the last 32 years and I will never forget him.

Last Christmas on RTE TV there was a programme on his wife Betty and himself when the gardens and house was renovated as a surprise for Betty who was a winner of the Lord Mayors Award a few years ago.

Gerry was a real Labour man – an old Labour man. Spring, Jack Haret and co.

A gem.
