Tipp don’t deserve guilt trip

Thurles last Sunday. One new discovery. A vaccine. When the terrible pandemics look set to engulf us, someone always mixes a potion before apocalypse.

And so, after the delirious, fist-pumping summer of 2013; when every free was celebrated like a lottery win; Barry Kelly administered the first, relieving jab on Kieran Bergin.

It might, strictly, have been a wrong and pivotal call. But just as Pitt was willing in World War Z, somebody had to take the fall for the greater good. There will still be outbreaks, but the air is gone out of the fist pump now.
