2012 figures show that security firms in the Republic of Ireland provided work for as many as two foreign nationals who resided in the state illegally.

Unconfirmed data suggests that as many as an eighth man could be working as a security guard in the North.

He was into his engines and loved his van but he had a fear of flying. Sometimes, he ate burgers that were drugged and he'd go straight to sleep and the rest of the A-Team would fly him to exotic locations where he would star in a series of direct-to-video porn movies, on which the Weekend at Bernie's franchise was based. He drank a lot of milk. There was often drugs in his milk too. Templeton "Face Man" Peck was the looker in the group. He was a lieutenant. He opened a chain of coffee houses after he left The A Team.
