Veteran singer and actor Mr Dennis Waterman, best known for his appearences on stage and screen and through his TV series; “The Sweeney” (as tough cop George Carter, 1970s), “Minder” (as bodyguard Terry McCann) and “New Tricks” (as Gerry Standing), has passed away this afternoon, May 8th, 2022, at the age of 74 years.
Mr Waterman sang the theme song for “Minder”, “I Could Be So Good for You”, which was a top 3 UK hit back in 1980 and a top 10 hit in Australia. The song was written by his then wife Patricia Maynard, in collusion with Gerard Kenny in 1981.

The family kindly ask that our privacy is respected at this very difficult time,”
Mr Waterman was born in London in 1948 and began his acting career on the stage, starting at the Royal Shakespeare Company based in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, England, at the age of 12.
However, it was “The Sweeney” that made Waterman a household name, co-starring with John Thaw; a show which ran for almost four years, before continuing on later, to make two films based on the show itself.
Mr Waterman released his first music album, ” Downwind of Angels” in 1976 and a single, “I Will Glide”, was released from that album,
His 60 year outstanding career included “Night Train for Inverness”; “William”; “Fair Exchange”, “Go Kart Go”; “Scars of Dracula”; “Fright”; “Man in the Wilderness”; “Follow the Yellow Brick Road”; “Man About the House” and “Saratoga”; to name but a few.
He undertook his final film project in 2020, latter a drama comedy entitled “Never Too Late”, made in Australia.
Mr Waterman was married and divorce, to actresses Penny Dixon, Patricia Maynard and Rula Lenska.
He is survived by his fourth wife, Pam Flint and their two children.

The words to the Hymn “All Things Bright and Beautiful” were written by Irish woman Mrs Cecil Frances (Fanny) Alexander, and published in 1848, at the end of the Great Famine.
Her words were possibly inspired by a verse from a poem by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, “The Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, quote: –
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
“He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things great and small;
For the dear God who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.”
All Things Bright and Beautiful All things bright and beautiful.
All creatures great and small.
All things wise and wonderful.
‘Twas God that made them all.
Each little flower that opens.
Each little bird that sings.
He made their glowing colors
And made their tiny wings.
The poor man in his straw-roofed cottage,
The rich man in his lordly hall,
The old man’s voice, the child’s first whisper,
He listens, and He answers all.

In all over 70 objections have now been lodged against a €30m Tipperary Solar Farm scheme granted permission by Tipperary County Council.
The solar farm was expected to produce in the region of 25 Megawatts of renewable energy, same sufficient, if fully achieved, to power 6,406 homes per year.
Some 26 parties are now appealing the council decision to An Bord Pleanála, with the Larry Goodman owned organic meat producer, “Good Herdsmen” understood to be one of these parties appealing.
Just last month, Tipperary County Council granted planning permission to a company known as “Renewable Energy Systems” for this development. Same is situated at Rathduff, Thomastown Demesne, South Co Tipperary, within 3km of Bansha village and 7.5km east of Tipperary town. Planning permission was granted after Tipperary County Council’s project planner concluded that it would not have any adverse impact on the character of the area or indeed on any adjoining properties in the vicinity of the development.
Not surprisingly, the founder and Managing Director of the ‘Good Herdsmen’, Mr John Purcell, who operate’s a 350-acre organic farm adjacent to the proposed site of this solar farm has claimed, in an objection, that the planned solar farm will indeed have an adverse effect their business.
Managing Director Mr Purcell has stated that the solar panels proposed would have the potential to cause a catastrophic visual impact on the area and would ruin the image that nature and his own organic farm have created, thus killing the vision of everything he has established todate. He claims that the promoters of this solar farm propose to metamorphose 107 acres of Golden Vale land, latter the richest farmland in Europe, into what he calls “a sea of plastic and metal panels”.
ABP’s organic beef brand, “Good Herdsmen” operating their factory in Cahir, currently employ 20 personnel with a further 6 employed on its organic farm, toiling on its day to day operations.
Others to appeal this County Council decision include:- South Tipperary Solar Farm Concern Group; Margaret Kennedy; Caitriona Bn Ui Annraghain;, Caroline and John Bourke; Denis Pollard Jnr; Maria Bailey; Michael & Mary Joyce; Chris Bailey;, VESI Environmental Limited and Carol, Emma and Daisy Welsh.
A decision on this appeal is expected by the end of August 2022.
