Naive about State apologies

Louise O’Keeffe is remarkable; her innocence was destroyed by an agent of the Irish State, yet her naivete regarding a politician’s apology remains undimmed.

Is this how it will be — unspeakable acts committed with both the knowledge and connivance of the State and its servants, followed, so many years later, by an apology by someone who is supposedly ‘in command’? Couldn’t happen today?

It does.
