I HAVE one vital piece of advice to offer to all who come to the merry doorstep of Hassett’s of Quin, better known simply as Malachy’s, and that is never shake hands with Malachy! I found that out the hard way last week when the man himself welcomed me into the back bar where the music was raising the roof. And he seized my hand and shook it. And if I had not converted my lamh into a yielding jelly immediately and escaped the worst of it then there is no way I’d be writing this. Malachy Hassett — though now in his 60s — does not have a human right hand at all. He owns some class of a bionic crusher, some JCB yoke, big as a shovel, powerful as a bulldozer. If the Yanks had two of them in Baghdad the place would have been quieted totally in the first 12 months. I kid ye not. Registration is required to view this content, registration is FREE |
