RTÉ’s future is safe in the hands of honest and skilled Tom Savage

SINCE we’re all going to vote on Thursday (I hope), this is my last chance to write about the referendum. Before I do, I can’t resist saying something about the Tom Savage conspiracy.

What conspiracy, you may ask? Well, there’s this rather odd thing going on at the moment that looks a lot like a conspiracy between some members of the Oireachtas and some members of the media. The odd thing about this conspiracy (among unlikely bedfellows) is that it’s a conspiracy to suggest that Tom Savage is involved in a conspiracy.

A conspiracy about a conspiracy, conducted by means of innuendo and inference. None of us know what Tom Savage has done wrong, but all of us are left with the impression that there’s something dodgy about his behaviour.
