No humble pie for Cullen

THERE were lessons for everybody in the Quigley report, said Martin Cullen on Thursday.

What lessons has the minister learned? Well, erm ... that he was right, that he was vindicated, and everything had been followed to the letter of the law.

His comments on one aspect were unquestionable. Cullen was subjected to disgraceful levels of personal intrusion by some sections of the media, and was put in the uncomfortable position of having to publicly respond to all the unsubstantiated innuendo.
