He was that hardline that even the IRA at one time wanted to reel him in

His image is being used by a ferry company?

How does that put him on the "walls" of a now defunct state?

Ive told people before on here before, that just because you have a few more powers and a different name does not make you the 'republic of 'ireland'
Your just a governmental assembly created by the british legislator, just like stormont.

Behan also shot a Branch man in Dublin in the late 30s. He said he felt like he lived a thousand lives in the moments he shot him. I'm pretty sure he didn't apologise in later years either.
Surprised Quizmaster and co. are'nt calling him a scumbag terrorist.

Sometimes you just have to laugh at this nonsense.

And how is that the "walls of the freestate". If you are referring to the Republic, as in the State and its bodies, well I hate to break it to you the state doesn't own the ferries.
