Attack on intolerance was just as intolerable

I REFER to the letter (Irish Examiner, January 27) from Maurice Dockrell complaining about Enda Kenny’s image of a “Celtic and Christian land”.

Mr Dockrell says the ‘Celtic’ reference “smacks of nationalistic bilge, with its toxic implications of racial purity and blood sacrifice, the sort of quasi-mystical nonsense championed by Patrick Pearse, Sinn Féin/IRA and the mercifully dwindling band of xenophobic primitives who still haunt the nether regions of Fianna Fáil.”

My, my, my — now, what are we to make of “this outbreak of intolerance, unthinking or otherwise”?
