Local writer and filmmaker Gerry Hannan has compiled a list of 117 inaccuracies in "Angela's Ashes", most notably that McCourt claims that Willie Harrold charged people to watch his sisters undressing, but Harrold had no sisters; that McCourt's claim to have had a sexual relationship with Teresa Carmody tarnishes the name of a girl who died young; that McCourt never worked as a telegraph boy; and that the McCourts never lived with Laman (Gerry) Griffin. McCourt is accused of hating the "pillars" of Limerick city, especially the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, the Catholic Church and Munster Rugby. Hannan confronted McCourt on "The Late Late Show" in 1999. McCourt was a member of the Boy Scouts, a middle-class pursuit the poor could not afford, and family photographs show the children and Angela as well-fed.
