Liam Lawlor
Liam Lawlor was killed in a tragic car crash in Moscow
on 22 October2005.
The legend died with him.
This page is dedicated to his memory.
Liam Lawlor the one and only, the man who talks about himself in the third person as if even Liam was in awe of Liam. Liam Lawlor the hurler on the ditch made good, the man who brought the Tribunal to a halt with his loud lamentation.
Ah Holy Mother of Jaysus.
And despite been given the red card by the ref (John Gallagher Senior Counsel for the Tribunal) .Liam still demanded:
I am entitled to make a point of order.
John Gallagher S.C.
Mr. Lawlor you are entitled to answer questions here. That’s your role. Not to make points of order. This is not the Dail or anywhere else. Your function is to answer questions to the best of your ability.
Mr. Lawlor had a mantra that he repeated over and over to the Press.
I intend to co-operate fully with the Tribunal.
But when he was asked about a payment of £38,000 made by Frank Dunlop to the consultancy firm Long Associates Mr. Lawlor and the Tribunal begged to differ over what was meant by ‘co-operating fully’.
And by an extraordinary coincidence a taxi driver named Mr. John Long had obtained a credit card for Mr. Lawlor’s personal use. Mr Gallagher for the Tribunal questioned Mr. Long about this.
John Gallagher
Well, do I take it that the credit card was issued to you in your name at 22, Hillcrest Park, Lucan in or about January of 1999?
Yeah.
John Gallagher
Yes all right. And what did you do with that credit card at that stage, Mr Long?
I gave it to Liam.
Liam who?
Don’t be silly now, come on.
Mr Long?
What Liam are we talking about here? There is only one Liam here.
John Gallagher
Mr Long, there is a record, there is a record being kept here, it is necessary to be precise.
Sorry I thought you were being funny again.
What?
John Long
Liam Lawlor, there is only one. Whenever I mention ‘Liam’ it is Liam Lawlor. There is only one Liam Lawlor..
He’s in the Jailhouse Now
Liam was a dub
Tough as they come
He’d stand and fight rather than run
He thought he was way outside the law
But he didn’t heed the warning
Got three months for his scornin’
They banged him up inside of Mountjoy Jail.
He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s in there with the lags
Doin’ deals for roll-up fags
He’s in the jailhouse now
Liam liked to strut and swagger
Like Lucan’s toughest blagger
And pulling strokes was Liam’s favourite game
But his brass neck got dented
When the judge said ‘less he repented
He’d lock him up an’ take away his mobile phone.
He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s in the jailhouse now
Well the judge gave him the chop
Said the rot’s just gotta stop
He’s in the jailhouse now
Liam got out of chokey
Gave the press the slip by hokey
Sped off to join his pals in Leinster House
But then Flood he came a callin’
And Liam started ballin’
Swore he gave them every file he had
He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s no longer Liam Lawlor
He’s just a number to the warder
He’s in the jailhouse now
