Re: An Irishman’s Diary about Johnny Doran
I read the article and was surprised about the "killed while trespassing" bit, and Mary Doran having to pay court costs when she sued Dublin council and the case was dismissed by the judge. I didn't know about that. Apparently Johnny's back was damaged when people tried to extract him from all the rubble. There is a photo of Johnny lying amid all the rubble taken by a passer by who happened to have a camera with him. A terrible loss.
