If the GAA isn’t in your blood you should mind your own business

I JUST don’t get it. I’ve written more than 400 opinion pieces for the Irish Examiner on every subject under the sun.

Most of them, by the way, very important (the subjects, if not the pieces). I’ve dealt with every aspect of social policy, the gossip, personality and inside story of politics, as well as the whole process of how public policy is created.

I’ve argued about disability, poverty, abuse, the misuse of power and authority, history, foreign policy, the peace process. There’s hardly an aspect of Irish life I haven’t covered since I started.
