Fergus Finlay: President needs to stop spouting nonsense about Ireland’s neutrality

Fergus Finlay: President needs to stop spouting nonsense about Ireland’s neutrality

By choosing the arrogant language he used in the weekend interview, he devalues the contribution he could make. Picture: Leah Farrell/ RollingNews.ie

I'm sorry, but unless our President knows something I don’t know (always a possibility!), he uttered some terrible rubbish last weekend. Some of it was really unworthy of a man who is regarded (and has described himself) as a public intellectual.

It pains me to say it. And I don’t want that to be interpreted as a suggestion that he has no right to speak.
