Hi Fiona!
Just a note to let you know that I enjoyed your article on The Irish Times immensely.
Just wondered if you were aware of the influence the right-wing priest, Fr Denis Fahey C.S.SP., of Kilmore had on John Charles McQuaid and by extension Eamonn De Valera on the framing of the Constitution. See ‘John Charles McQuaid’ by John Cooney 1999.

Could I ask that you review the “comments” settings and counters so that “Twitter” links are not included as comments? I find it irritating to to open the comments for a post which is flagged as having comments, only to find that all are in fact links to items at “Su.pr” which repost the original article. (And that is second only to the irritation of discovering a real comment is buried below those.)
Thanks for pointing it out–it’s been fixed now as far as I know!
