Like him or loathe him but this article by Fintan O'Toole hits the nail firmly on the head:

If you haven't time or inclination to read the whole article, here's an excerpt:



My problem with Fintan O'Toole is that he and the rest of his middle class right wing reactionary ilk waste no time in condemning IRA atrocities but either completely ignore or wash over monstrosities committed against the nationalist people of the north such as Ballymurphy or the Hooded Men.

Fintan O Toole   , right wing ! Are you on the blue nun ?
