A turning point in how we see ourselves?
To become famous in Ireland without squirrelling millions away in the Ukraine, or trousering vast fees from mysterious Russian companies? To succeed without splashing your private life in the public’s face for profit? To advance to the head of your field without the benefit of patronage, nepotism or corruption? To be admired and respected across the land not for succeeding with snake-oil and spoofery but for actual achievement?
Maybe The Daily Telegraph had a point after all. There’s something positively un-Irish about her the more you look at her.
