    I'd have to disagree with you there. He was always jumping out in front of cars. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one who caused the accident and has left some poor person to deal with the fact they've just taken a life which can't be easy to come to terms with.

    I was told today it was a hit and run. No idea if its true or not.

    Ironic, if its the one car fatality that you couldn't be blamed for, if they drove off.

    It's sad to see that he's gone:(

    Certainly was a character alright.About 6 or more years ago my mothers co-worker gave him a lift to boyle and he pi***d in the passenger seat. I would have killed him(not literally) if that had been my car.

    All I heard was that a "boy racer" hit him but it could have happened to anyone - good driver or bad. Whatever happened, Flanagan was an accident waiting to happen unfortunately. He used to leap out of nowhere all the time. Had a tiny cottage near Sooey but never used to spend any time there.

    A few years ago I was coming out of Riverstown very late at night/early in the morning.

    Around the first corner outside the town and all of a sudden a head appears off the surface of the road.

    This gobshyte had fallen asleep at the side of the road in the grass verge.

    God help the person that hit him. They will have this death on their conscience and probably through no fault of their own.

    RIP. Was a lovely article in the Weekender about him. Sure he may have been a danger on the roads but there was no bad in that man, as attested to by the very large turnout for his funeral.
