Readers' Blog: Zappone has again done the right thing

It was surprising to hear Children’s Minister Katherine Zappone say she was doing what she was doing with regard to the Tuam babies scandal because it was right.
This seems almost unprecedented for a politician in Ireland. Ms Zappone did likewise with regard to problems with Scouting Ireland, she did what was clearly right. We owe her a sincere thanks for doing the right thing, in such matters, rather than opting for a “pragmatic” or typical “cute hoor” type of option, that many of our Irish politicians opt for.
