In documentary, Fir Fáinne, which followed boxer Paddy Barnes ’ quest to gain the Silver Fainne, the Jackal shared an hilarious tale about the simple phrase that he knows.
He revealed that when going up to Poleglass to visit then girlfriend Christine he got a black taxi - and out of fear of being identified as a “Protestant from Tiger’s Bay”, he’d tell the taxi driver: “See you later, Mo Chara”.
