I would like to nominate Aodhán O'Riordáin, who surpasses even the great Fintan in his ability to make me gnash my teeth. I'm sure he's a lovely guy if you get to know him.
I managed to read both without any hurt other than wincing at the excessive sentimentality in the first.

Surely if someone (hypothetically speaking of course) objected to social housing in leafy Clontarf on sea we would see through their pretence at being consumed with justice and equality for everyone?🤔

But you have to think of the Brent Geese too.
On a different subject and it probably won't mean much to many people on here but I just heard that the points for the Trinity course that Marianne from Normal People did (I didn't watch it) have gone way up! English Lit maybe (in case anyone was wondering!)

In my humble opinion AOR is a stale white middle aged middle class straight male.
I wish to nominate Dr Ebun Joseph of UCD who is an expert on Irish racism and who is selflessly educating the old Irish community on their priviledge ignorance and general lack of woke wisdom . Dr Joseph has written many scintillating texts on intersectionality, white priviledge, race and did I mention race as the key to virtually everything? .
She is also an acknowledged expert on Irish history, culture and identity as Senator Michael Mc Dowell discovered recently on RTE. Her hobbies include 19th century French statue refurbishment and fine wine testing. Renowned for her cultural sensitivity and listening skills Dr Joseph
is a rising star of Irish academia.
Have a read of her Twitter feed to get a feel for the depth and diversity of her thought. Dr Joseph is a regular feature on Irish media. Perhaps one day she will be a minister for diversity? Great things beckon.

Following Cato's words, I made the mistake of looking at Dr Joseph's twitter feed early this morning. My stomach may not recover today.
Whatever about the good doctor's own views, the Jacobin support from some of her white Irish followers is truly alarming. I suspect a lot of the 'unreconstructed' may mount the metaphorical guillotine if that lot ever get serious power.
