Years ago, before he passed, my grandad gave me a little paperback book to read about Lugs Brannigan because he was his first cousin. Amazing to come across a song about him. Great song too.
My late father who was a guard based in Store St. knew Lugs well and drank many a pint with him. It was street justice back in the 50's...the choice was do you want to go to court or take a beating? Most of the criminals back then took the beating though not harsh it was enough to stop them from misbehaving again. And if you beat up women or old folk or even worse fiddled with kids you would get a serious beating. Lugs had no time for feckers like that and he would find you and you would be lucky to find your balls intact afterwards. A great man but look at the cops we have now. Driving around in rainbow cars! FFS!! We need another Lugs and damn quick!
My cousin , female boxing referee, knew him. Said his prize possession was a Waterford glass set presented to him by The Ladies of the Night. He was probably the only one who looked out for them.
Lugs branigan was a brutal bully of travellers he bullied the wrong man when he gave my father Archie Nolan a choice he said if i beat you in a bare knuckle fight leave Dublin if you win i wont bother you anymore my father beat him in a fare fight and never had a problem with lugs again. True story
I’ve heard that amongst my family member’s too as I am Romany Cornish Irish Gypsy boi too. I love a bare knuckle match. Such a feeling. Keep on boi’s what magic you make trk x

He was Leinster champion in boxing
Are you related to him?, My grandad used to always talk about him
He beat up my dad on dolphins barn, it was the best thing he ever did, turned my da away from crime. Thanks he was a cool dude
He flaked an RUC in a match and bet him good

He was the best police man in Ireland
Not to put the man down or anything but that wouldn't be too hard a feat to achieve in this crooked country...
He got my grandad away from the street fighting and helped him get work and got him into the boxing. He was a wonderful man,
Got the book I think he was marvellous ❤
this would have been great on The Wire
Good on yea boys!
I think so tooo❤
Cool
they are a great bunch of guys ant they made that from scratch
Class
My friends Da was in a gang known as Tango 1,s gang if I know you know but he said that he would rather deal with Lugs than the courts

As A TRAVELLER IG I CAN SAY THE TRAVELLERS NEED LUGS MORE THAN ANY 1
