Derek1962 50 Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Hi,looking for a bit of info on a old man by the name of Pip Byrne,i have know him for around 20 years,used to meet him at gamefairs and he used to call on me every now and again for a dig and the odd course,the last i heard from him was about a year and a half,and havent seen him since,he is a small man,he used to be a taxi driver but had retired from this trade about 5 years now,he was always into his lurchers and terriers,has a great eye for a good dog,i remember him telling me he used to breed working wheaton,s in the late 60,s when badger digging was still legal,i havent heard from him in ages,i have a mobile number for him but its dead,[no answer]i know he lived around the northside of Dublin ,but where,maybe some of the Irish lads on here might know him or know of him,just want to know is he still in the land of the living.
