One of the last of Dublin’s characters … [newspaper and magazine seller] Pete Short …a true gentleman.
In fairness.
Update: No, he’s not brown bread (see comments).

Everything. As It Happens.
At the side door of Grogan’s by the look of it. I knew Pete, just by sight, he would regularly position himself outside Bewley’s.
Howaya
What happened the punk that use to sit on the bin up Grafton street?
Or the tinker child singing badly?
Or the strange Asian man with the stick and the throat singing?
Or the lockhards of Merrion square?
Or the Herald seller with the dirty face at the bottom of Winetavern street?
Or the guy with the impressive perm that cycles all over town?
Dublin keeps on changing…
I know the tinker kid who sung badly played an acordianhe used to spend all his busking money on the needy kids on the street
His reward was one day he was badly beaten his money taken
Years later I heard that voice and I followed it
He told me that he was being looked after by kindly nuns
Pete god bless you
And Michael who sold the papers outside friends now Morton brown all the best to you
The tinker child would be 30 by now, so presumably his voice has broken and he has moved on to other endeavours.
The punk was most likely Trevor McLave of Coldwar , last I heard he’d gone back to Uni to study english and politics in Trinity

Is he dead?
And if he’s not, I wonder how he feels about people taking photos of him and to be published on the Internet.
God I thought it was Jim Fitzpatrick after his hip op…..No it’s not..
Oh. He’s not dead.
Don’t post pictures of people out of nowhere without saying if they’re alive and well (or dead). It’s like seeing a name trending on Twitter and suddenly getting excited.
This. I thought he was dead too.
He was on Naked Camera. Something he slightly regrets. After the scene was made they approached him with contracts and payment for his likeness, ” Ah, give me a pint” The clip has been broadcast globally, poor Peter only got the one pint.
