Gerry was a coke head

[ber]

That doesn't make him a bad person

I never said he was a bad person,but he was hypocritical and he was a person who made bad choices and has to live or in this case die with the consequences

I have no problem with a person having different opinions to me or in expressing said opinions so in any case u would have nothing to apologise for,im always up for a debate once its on the issue and not a personal slagging match

Reading the papers today , i cant help but feel for Gerry and the immense pressures he was under for the majority of his working life . He was the reason why 2FM was so popular , the massive sponsorship that his programme drew in yr after yr and the responsability that rested on his shoulders to make sure that that income kept coming in . Is it any wonder that the man lived life the way he did , top restaurants , wines , whiskeys and unfortunately cocaine .... 2 grand a week on the stuff according to latest news stories .
Xmas time on Gerrys show was always enjoyable , remember Santas sack and the super gifts he would give away to most callers in the weeks leading up to chrimbo . I also remember the thousands of people he helped over the 20 yrs on air , and the very last caller he helped was a guy who couldn't raise 250 quid to buy a new kit for the under 12s football team in a dublin club . Needless to say by the end of that show , that team had new kit , boots , footballs all thanks to Gerry and that's how i'll remember him

Depending on which Sunday paper you read Gerry was either spending 2 grand a week on coke or he was getting it for nothing from a" close friend".Whatever the truth is he was an extrovert controversial guy and definitely is a loss on the airwaves.

2 grand a week-about 50 grams a week-that is a habit!
and he probabaly felt wretched during it all!

Different substance-but this level of abuse with alcohol
is all too familiar in this society.

It was well known around Dublin Gerry did Coke,but what is the point in bringing this out into the public domain,the shame and ridicule it will bring on his family/kids,for what????????????

[Alec Horan]
