Paddy died suddenly in 1997. Nicholas outlived his older brother by five years, shuffling off this mortal coil in 2002.</p> <p>This programme, ‘Townlands – The Brothers’ was first broadcast on RTE1 in 2006.</p> <p>God bless them both and Rest In Peace.<br /> Credit to : captainautumn1</p> <p> Please support our Sponsors here --
