Irish Examiner view: Have we lost our way in decade of centenaries?

Leo Varadkar’s comments that we have our lost our way in the decade of centenaries will, no doubt, add more charge to an already emotive and contested subject.

However, the Tánaiste’s call for a return to “inclusive and respectful” commemoration will be welcomed, particularly following the controversy over a tweet from Laois-Offaly TD Brian Stanley who compared the Kilmichael ambush of 1920 with the Narrow Water ambush in Warrenpoint in 1979.
