Thanks to Paul Cooper (Letters, May 14th), I now know there is a Fontenoy Street in Liverpool as well as Dublin. And as I have since learned, there used to be a Fontenoy Gardens as well. In an intriguingly titled online blogpost, “Ringo the Ratcatcher of Fontenoy Gardens”, a man named Tom Brennan recalls growing up there. Behan had been born in Dublin’s north inner city, not far from the other Fontenoy Street. He was sentenced to another 15 months for the incident, which had happened in – of all places – Fontenoy Street.
