Probably best remembered for his roles in the series "Upwardly Mobile" (RTE) and in "Ballykissangel" as Duffy. The Irish comedian died in suspicious circumstance outside a taxi rank. He suffered a heart attack brought on by physical restraint and cocaine hypersensitivity. He also had smaller roles in many films like An Awfully Big Adventure and The Snapper. It was revealed after his death that he was a memeber of the Real IRA, however this had nothing to do with the circumstances surrounding his death.
