Columnist, Sunday Independent/Irish Catholic. Commentator on society, religion and politics since 1994. Beware of a consensus.
The Church put the reputation of priests ahead of child protection. The British State put the reputation of certain minorities (see Rochdale etc) ahead of child protection.

I will be giving my first preference to Aontu today and after that to a decent independent. But then? I don't want FG/FF back in power, but on the other hand, SF is worse. Dilemma. #GE24

None of the three leaders went into last night's debate with any momentum behind them. They all seemed pretty tired, worn out and essentially going through the motions. A very passionless election.

Simon's 'New Energy' is starting to look about as long-lasting as Kamala's 'Joy'.

Aontu now on 5pc according to the new Sunday Independent
poll. No-one deserves a good election more than Peadar Toibin and his team for their incredible hard work at building their party and bucking the consensus.
