Tánaiste and co are divorced from reality
Firstly, revealing of her divorce from the simple realities of life of real people. The commitment and effort of turning out in central Dublin was not inconsiderable: not for the single Dubliner, let alone the family from a distant county.
Those who think nothing of grabbing a State aircraft to nip down to the opening of an off-licence are divorced from such realities. Secondly, it reveals that neither she nor Mr McDowell pondered, in anything resembling depth or objectivity, what it was that motivated such an extraordinary mass movement. Her specious response to the grave concerns, shown by masses of the population, is to warn against "anti-Americanism".
