Some crimes are simply beyond all human decency
We value our literary heritage here so alongside the likes of Joyce, Wilde and Behan it is only fitting that the modern day storyteller of our times, Ross O’Carroll Kelly, gets the recognition he deserves.
The great man had a series of plaques placed around the city last year to honour his many, many feats and, of course, Lillie’s nightclub was proudly the site of arguably his greatest achievments. At least off the rugby pitch anyway.
However, the folks at Lillie’s have been in touch to tell us that the blue plaque has been stolen from the wall outside the club.

As lovers of both the man and his deeds we were gutted. And, the man himself wants justice.
@SportsJOEdotie @lilliesdublin Spread the word. I’m offering a hundred snots as a reward for the safe return of the sign.

Any information will be dealt with in confidence, or we might just DM your details to Ross and let him deal with you.
