Is It Safe To Read?

This morning/afternoon.

National Archives, Dublin 2.

Members of the media reviewing documents during the annual media preview of State records. Under the thirty year rule, which ensures those in the documents are probably dead by the time they get opened, the records of State from 1991, when Charlie Haughey was Taoiseach – will be made available to the public in January.

Probably more exciting being there.

Name those journalists, anyone?

      Jaysus, history is more and more becoming part of my living memory rather than memorialised or discussed in text books. Let’s see what nuggets 1991 has to offer…!

    Frank McNally and David McCullough.

    There’s also a lad under the table – that’s Tom McGurk.

      Just out of shot, the fella in Montrose who’s started the rest of them saying omnicron, instead of omicron.

    History warriors at work. They’ll stab with their pens.
    Aoibhinn beatha an scoláire
    Bhíos ag déanamh léinn
    Is follas díbh, a dhaoine
    Gur dó is aoibhne in Éirinn
    Gan smacht rí air ná ruire
    Ná tiarna dá tríese
