Back in the eighties during Ireland's
draconian Catholic licensing pub laws,
a few of us protested to Pop Fahy
at The Hibernian Hotel because he
told us " Time up take your drinks
out in the hall " one Saturday night
while he was intimating that we
should be going home and getting
ready to receive the Eucharist on
Sunday morning at last mass before
opening time when he expected to
see us all addictively obedient at
the front door waiting for the miracle
cure after poisoning us the night before.
