Chroniclers are privileged to enter where they list, to come and go through keyholes, to ride upon the wind, to overcome in their soarings up and down, all obstacles of distance, time and place.

DOCHREIDTE! - UNBELIEVABLE!

null


De gnáth bím ag obair go dian ar mo chuid scríbhneoireachta, agus ag dul dó faoi choinne uaireanna (corruair seachtainí); go dtí go bhfaighim sruth an tobair, go dtí go bhfuil me sásta leis an teachtaireacht a bhfuil ag teacht ó “mo pheann”. Ach anocht, agus me ag amharc ar an phictiúr sin thuas, nil agam ach rud amháin a rá – DOCHREIDTE!
Cúis cheiliúrtha. Cúis a bheith sásta. Cúis codladh níos fearr a bheith ag achan nduine i dtír s’againn anocht.

Normally, I be working for ages on my writing, hammering away at it for hours, (sometimes weeks); until I find a wellspring of inspiration, until I am happy with the message emanating from “my pen”. But tonight and me looking at the above picture, I have only one thing to say – UNBELIEVABLE!
A cause for celebration. A cause to be happy. A cause for a more restful sleep for everybody in our country this night.

From a pure PR point of view, one can only stand back and admire the British way of doing things when it comes to news manipulation. The very cleverness, that is, of the spin and spy doctors at Whitehall – the British Raj’s highest seat of civil administration, - in the timing of their announcement of the payment of over £1,000,000 (yes that’s one million pounds sterling) to the drug dealing, Catholic killing Ulster Defence Association (UDA). The announcement by British government mandarins barely caused a ripple within a media machine which is usually voracious in its search for stories, especially where there might be a drugs, murder or sex angle. The UDA has all three angles in abundance. So well done to the British top brass for ensuring that the UDA payment announcement was sneaked through a historical crevice. In other words, the announcement came just as Chancellor Gordon Brown’s budget had been revealed and just as the make or break talks between the DUP and the British and Irish governments were reaching a climax.
