Dave Donnelly breeds (or did) alsatians. Anytime i used to see him around my area he always had an alsatian with 'em. He's from Finglas alright but from the east & not the west. The lead singer must have been a neighbour of bonos. I remember a local punk who i now presume is the same guy who died on a ferry to England & i though he might have been part of the black catholics. He lived a couple of houses up the road from Bono's ma's. I was very young when this all happened but i remember certain parts about this story because alot of the kids around the area where punks including my sister.
 
I'm the aforementioned davedonnelly. I still live in Finglas East with my mot and 2 kids. I have a lurcher dog these days. Local Authority housing rules has German Shepards on the unwanted list. "The Lad" lead singer with the Black Catholics departed this world (or that world) of his own volition. I was his understudy in many ways but never got to perform as a Black Catholic, or as a statistic. The one and only gig was the Dandellion Market. An historic occasion which created a large fan base. Punks came out of the woodwork to join up and follow the creed "Young Drunk + Proud". I think the self destructive nature of the band touched raw nerves and found its expression in gangs of punks and skins lashing out. Most of the demons were exorcised by others.
