He’s just the most *admirable* man, isn’t he? We’ve been so fortunate to have him, as our best nature. This speech must have been immensely comforting to the families on such a heavy anniversary, to know their anger as well as their pain is shared.
I thought this quote was going to be about asylum seekers along the canal…
I said in another thread today about my granny telling her friend to meet her at Guineys after work that day and living with the guilt that her friend would never have died had they never made those plans. Dublin in the 70’s was a small town essentially – most people whose families grew up here will have heard or known of someone affected by those bombings.
My grandfather was a bus driver and the only reason he wasn’t on his usually talbot street rush hour route was because the buses were on strike that day. More people were obviously out and about walking at rush hour because of that – whoever is responsible for those bombing wanted as many innocent people killed as possible. How we are still denied the facts by the British government 50 years later is beyond me.

Really admire our wee president.
