"Gerry nearly caught up to Larry Gogan in age terms, through his habit of growing three years older per annum. Alas, he did not quite get there. His body was found alone in a Dublin manger on 30 April 2010, with all attempts by paramedics and passers-by to locate and reattach his soul ultimately proving unsuccessful. Ireland came to a standstill - cars crashed, planes fell from the sky, emergency rooms filled with panic-stricken geriatrics, many dishes went unwashed and many husbands went unfed, some even starving to death. Flags flew at half mast for the rest of the year, RT\u00C9 2fm became even more crisis-hit and Ireland, making ground in emerging from an economic recession, slumped right back into a pile of boggy mud again."@en .
