Went to have a look at the great mans grave earlier this year. Very sad but it is currently unmarked. Due to a family dispute, the headstone has been removed and there is nothing but a Spike-sized oblong of earth. Hope that his headstone is back soon.

Is that right? Are they still arguing over whether his epithet "I told you I was ill" could be engraved? I thought they had settled the matter by engraving it in Irish.

No, sadly the headstone has been in place, (if fact the church sells postcards of it), but there is some family dispute corncerning ex wives that has caused it to be temporarily (I hope) removed.
