Lies, damn lies and post-truth

Sir, – I don’t know why we in Ireland should feel that we have only recently become a part of the “new” post-truth world. We have been living in our own little world of political and clerical treachery, fictional historical narratives, and maladministration, at almost every level, since the foundation of the State, so what’s new? – Yours, etc,

NIALL GINTY,

Killester, Dublin 5.
