Cometh the hour, cometh the columnist

THAT was great stuff by your columnist Fergus Finlay (October 14). This is the kind of inspiring journalism that newspaper readers are crying out for.

I hope Cowen, Lenihan & Co take time out to learn something about true political leadership after Mr Finlay cited the prime example of Franklin Delano Roosevelt ‘s inaugural address to a great country on its knees — battered by the Great Depression.

The quote about Sarsfield comes to mind: “Cometh the hour, cometh the man.”
