        Yea. I don’t feel sorry for him at all Nigel. What if he’s right and it’s the rest of us who are out of step?

            Why even presume it’s a mental health issue? What is the background to his protest? I’m unfamiliar with the reasons Mr Harris is facing a second trial?

            It’s a presumption, yes. But look at him: I don’t think it’s a big leap.

            That’s Father Nial Horan, Neil. If you google him, you’ll find his story easily enough. It’s admittedly comical-sounding in parts, but the darker undercurrents become apparent fairly quickly.

            I saw him perform once at Ding Dong Denny O’Reilly. Before the performance the crowd was openly hostile to him. He calmly and rationally explained his philosophy and beliefs before performing. I accept his approach is unconventional but both I and it appeared most of the audience were impressed by both his demeanour and his articulation. There was no sense in my mind that he was mentally ill at all.

            I’m familiar with him. I read once that his family explained that they were unable to make him take his prescribed medication. Maybe he is mentally well enough to believe he does not need to take it? People would do better not to make presumptions but to take him at face value. That said I felt his behaviour at Silverstone and during the Olympics was appalling.

            Also I believe he was acquitted in his own sexual abuse trial. At the gig he explained if I recall that he thinks he can bring peace to the world by dancing to Sliabh Luachra music from the borders of Kerry and Limerick. Maybe as a result he’s quite knowledgeable about both Limerick born entertainers and fair process in sexual assault cases.
