The skeleton of an Irish 'giant' is to be removed from display at a London museum due to 'sensitivities' but will be available for bona fide medical research.
Brendan Holland was always tall and in 1972 at the age of 20 reached 6ft 9-and-a-half inches in height.
Speaking to BBC NI, Mr Holland said that although there was a debate over whether the skeleton should be on public display he was in favour of it being available for medical and teaching purposes. "You have to remember, this was a man living in 18th century London coming from a rural Irish background where he spent the first 19 years of his life, he would not know the nature of his condition or be that well informed."According to Mr Holland , one of Charles' biggest fears was being dissected as those who were usually dissected were criminals and Charles had pride in his standing.
