Politicians take note: Don’t lose the cool just because it’s silly season
The Christian Brothers kicked off the angry season this year. They’re angry at the Archbishop of Dublin, Diarmuid Martin. According to reports, they’re incandescent over him publishing a report written several decades ago about how they managed the Artane Industrial School .
Now, being angry at the Archbishop of Dublin is not a fruitful activity. The Archbishop was born with CD plates on him and is loved by media. The chances of a good chunk of public opinion lining up with the Brothers against him are somewhere between slim and none.
