In [PD founder] Des O’Malley‘s [recently published] autobiography he recalls being expelled from the Fianna Fail party [after supporting legislation that allowed condoms to be sold to people over 18 ‘without a prescription’].
He was hauled in front of the party’s National Executive and he says only nine members broke ranks and voted to have him stay, ‘including Mary Hanafin’.
He mentions that Míchaél Martin was also present. Do any of your readers know how he voted [as Mr O’Malley does not state]?
Anyone?

“It seemed to me that RTÉ’s fundamental failure was to allow this appetite for ‘edgy’, ground-breaking journalism to devour good journalistic practice and particularly editorial practice. It was failure above all of editorial control.”
Bryan Dobson on the Fr Kevin Reynolds affair.
‘Edgy’ journalism led to RTÉ error – Dobson (Independent.ie)
GalwayGirl writes (edgily):
So noted newsreader Bryan Dobson had a lot to say yesterday about editorial standards at RTÉ. Well, he’d certainly be a leading expert on that topic… Maybe stick to reading other people’s scripts to introduce other people’s journalism. Still though – looks good in a suit…
FIGHT!
