      You're probably right, George wouldn't have stopped at a spliff and few lines of coke.

    Cannabis can be very detrimental to people who have underlying mental health conditions. Dunphy spewing the safety of drugs nothing surprising, just because he doesn't have enough braincells for it to affect.

    Obviously it's been a while since I saw Eamo on the box, but he looks like he's aged so much. Irish sport lost so much when the likes of Dunphy and Hook left RTE. Of course they have their haters and they were many things, but they were never boring. You can't say that Eamon......I just did Bill! RIP Billo too.

    A true friend of someone they know is in active alcoholism would not be on a night out with them, and would not be drinking a few bottles of lager around them.

    I used to live near to Eamonn as a child, at the local shops one of my pals went up to him to ask him for his autograph as a joke , I took a quick look in his car and saw too many empty liquor bottles to count on the car floor also hundreds of cigarette butts, it was pretty disgusting.

    On Grafton Street on a lovely summer evening myself and fellow boozers Daffy Duck and Michael Mouse ran into Eamo,we spent a great time in Murphy's bar singing an shouting, Eamo gave a version of Ragglin Road that brought house down,,Eamo for President !

      Things became difficult after a Kebab n Chips, Eamo thought he was back in Watford and shouted an obsenity which was overheard by a passing Pastor leading a donkey to some mad festival or other,the Donkey kicked Eamo in the nuts,the Pastor was exhulted and cheered the Ass on, Eamo at this stage was spifflicated and called for more drink,,hard to imagine,but the Irish President passed by ,half cut himself,,aaashhh yes Grafton St.at summertime !
