RMLW wrote an article in (very good) French in Le Monde of 20/3/2014 about Tony Benn. "La gauche britannique disparaît avec Tony Benn" It would seem he may well be living there. Given the size of the Irish population,in Paris at least, (thirty Irish bars at least!)it seems probable that is where. The Irish were the largest English speaking group followed by the US Americans. The English come a poor third which is good for our egos!

replies: text: He certainly seems to be getting published in Libération at any rate. See "Ma rage est ingouvernable" (translation of "They killed the funny people because they were funny") for example—the text of that article suggests he lives there, though it doesn’t amount to a citable source.  ☸ Moilleadóir ☎ 03:14, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I notice there is some inconsistency with his year of birth. In [ http://www.bigissue.com/features/3672/robert-mcliam-wilson-writes-exclusively-for-the-big-issue ] published he mentions he has turned 50.
It wasn’t the best of weeks. I had turned 50 a few days before. I had finally run out of money a couple of days later. My cat had attacked a tipsy neighbour and badly slashed her face. I had tried to give up smoking. Twice. 
I should say the unreliable narrator is a key element of his writing style; but this article would imply his DOB was sometime in early 1964 not 1966 as is commonly repeated.
I attended Saint Malachy's College in Belfast from 1976 to 1983. I remember him as someone in my class in Fifth form in 1980, I think he was in my R.E. class. At that point he was known as Robert Cullen. 
I think therefore his DOB should be 24 Feb 1964. 
I thought I'd run it past the people here before I make the change. I think I could evidence this by consulting the 1980 School Magazine "The Collegian" - I think Belfast Central Library takes a copy http://lni.ent.sirsidynix.net.uk/client/en_GB/default/search/detailnonmodal/ent:$002f$002fSD_ILS$002f587$002fSD_ILS:587138/ada?qu=St.+Malachy%27s+College.&qf=AUTHOR%09Author%09St.+Malachy%27s+College.%09St.+Malachy%27s+College.&qf=PUBDATE%09Publication+Date%091979-1996%091979-1996&te=ILS
 as does http://catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000050377
Any comments or objections?
