Gary Lydon: Peadar Kearney

Quotes 

• Peadar Kearney : Aye. Off to the mainland in the morning I'm headin'. That's why I need the clean shirt, like. 'And why are you off to the mainland in the mornin', Peadar?' Oh, thanks for asking, Colm. I'll tell ya why. They've asked for extra manpower for a couple of the executions in case there's any kind of a to-do, like. Six bob and a free lunch they're payin' me. And sure I'd have gone for nothin'. I've always wanted to see an execution, haven't you? Although, I'd have preferred a hanging.

  Colm Doherty : Who are they executin'?

  Peadar Kearney : The Free State lads are executin' a couple of the IRA lads. Or is it the other way around? I find it hard to follow these days. Wasn't it so much easier when we was all on the same side, and it was just the English we was killin'? I think it was. I preferred it.

  Colm Doherty : But you don't care who's executin' who?

  Peadar Kearney : For six bob and a free lunch, I don't care! They could be executin' you. Why don't you come with me? You could write a miserable feckin' song about it. Nah, I'm only messin'.

• Peadar Kearney : What were you talking to the boat fella for?

  Siobhan Súilleabháin : For none of your fecking business, I think it was.
