A Chara, Just when you are tempted to take Mr Kevin Myers seriously, up he comes (May 21st) with such a gem as: "The Easter Rising was merely a Confederation of Kilkenny Revividus." Well, of course - and Gerry Adams is the modern equivalent of Oliver Cromwell.
Mr M's imagination again leads him astray when he assumes - contrary to the evidence - that Collins's attitude to the restoration of the Irish language differed from de Valera's. - Do chara,
