Just for the record; mc dowell uncle was shot on benbulben when part of IRA unit by free state army in 1922
You are right of course. That uncle was from his mothers side who were ant-treaty. His paternal grand-father was Eoin McNeill who was a leader of the Free Staters who shot the man in Sligo. It was Eoin McNeill who "dithered" about 1916 and collapsed altogether on the boundary commission.
Can we agree that McDowell has a very complex political position? In my view he is all over the place, which amounts to the same thing. Unless and until he finds a bit more stability and clear headedness, I think he is a dangerous man in office and he along with a number of others, would benefit from a spell in opposition.
Imagine, passing confidential papers in a bar room, taken from his Department's files, to journalist Sam Smith about another journalist, Frank Connolly just because he had a gripe with Frank Connolly. Imagine also, comparing the mild- mannered, intellectual, Richard Bruton with Joseph Goebbels. Finally, in relation to the arrest of the journalist last week, imagine a Minister, swearing "on his honour" in the Dail that he didn't do it. And then squeeling that his Secretary General did it. Talk about moral cowardice of the highest order. Any school boy would have more moral courage than that. What Civil Servant would want to work for a boss that runs away from you and dumps on you like that.
Whatever happened to the PD mantra of political responsibility.
Our hard won liberties are not in safe in this man's hands. Lets put him into opposition til he matures a bit.
