As with all nationalist verse and song,this wonderful dirty hides a sordid reality of boarding houses,bordellos an enslavement.
What does this epigrammatic dirty concern?
It concerns an oul' bollocks sent up by 'GHQ' in Dublin in the 1950's to "organise the IRA" made a laughing stock of himself with "big talk" in IRA circles in the South Fermanagh area as Michael Mc Manus the Special Branch Informer and Manus Maguire the Tout tried to do with me and my reputation. As with all layabouts,they found their way into the IRA,as did the Belfast unemployed.
Sean Cronin's 'pinman'? His name?
Sean O' Ferrall from Letterkenny,typical of the Walter Mitty-types and dolemen attracted,not to republicanism or Labour these days,but to socialism, particularly non-democratic socialism. This socialism is represented by Richard Boyd-Barrett and Brid Smith. They represent the dog-ends of society around Dublin in their constituencies. When their friends are not giving speeches they're propping up the dole queue. In England,they claim to be Labour supporters but they don't vote.....

"Nobody had a clue that you were still in the IRA until you told Manus Maguire and Michael Mc Manus and,worse again, Martin Mc Manus. All of them took money to get people killed. Be careful when you make your move to pay them back in their own coin...little Marty is the most dangerous of them...he has the most connections.." ( My father)
