"Who will rid me........?"

Oh dear, oh dear, oh deary me. I bet there are a few people who think that Father Alec Reid ought to take a wee look at this poem by Seamus Heaney. And they'll also be thinking that it would probably be best if he paid no mind to its meaning and context and just took the title on board.

Now I didn't post this to start a row mind. Just a little bit of cynical commentary.

What I'm saying is that in terms of the current situation that Father Reid's remarks might better have been left unsaid.

But then that's part of the problem of this country. Not saying things. And saying things.

Hope that has cleared it up for you.

I agree. Nothing that happened here compares to the Holocaust.
