Nice one.
And for context – for anyone not familiar with his work – have a gander at this. It’s one of the very best documentaries made about modern Ireland. Pour yourself one and watch the whole thing for free on YouTube.

it’s excellent
Excellent article thank you Otis.
I shall look forward to seeing that.
It’s interesting the point he makes about the Irexit sheep and cattle as well, our chickens are coming home to roost on that one and this will only expand if the Shinners do indeed get in. We only have to look at the sort of reactionary characters who are posting here sometimes 50 times a day at present …

you need to get that seen too, sounds stingy
Jaysus, ignore that Janet..
I sometimes wonder if even raising the question of pizza made with ground organic gluten free oats is worth it around here.
oats soaked in you bath is good for stinging too ;)
Very apt bat man wore a cape
The first covid cases apparently they blamed on eating bats
Come on stop smear-ing the man’s character
Then the other one the death of the old in nursing homes that had no chance when infected old people cleared out of hospitals were delivered to where these poor souls were living
They stood no chance
The folly of not testing these carriers before packing them all into the nursing homes
Then of course the fiasco of how nursing homes could not even get emergency staff to help cope with the impossible situation
Begging the HSE they were but we seem to forget those early days
Noose next to the O kneel.
What about the rest of the mi(number) HSE sewer rats?
Love to see his severance package plus the salary of the new position
Seems the gravy train keeps rolling for him
Also why could they not offer his role to a professor that is not past retirement age
I assume he is past 65
Ah Jeez, can any one tell Superman he still has the power till midnight?
Lets encourage him to don the cape one last time, climb the tallest building in Dublin, or at least a moderately high block of flats with insufficient safety protocols, and leap forward, to blaze a trail through the night sky.
Dustin the the Turkey could have done a better job……
…thanks Dr Tony…you have done the state serious service…
