Today's Irish Times carries the story of paedophile Domhnall Ó Lubhlaí.
Tucked away in the piece there is a quote: "He managed to create this aura of fear and respect".
Does it call to mind anything for readers?
Another line: "How did he get away with it?"
How did 'he' at all? The spoof, the pseudo sophistication, that mock respectability, the feigning, that demand for respect. And 'he' may well have helped create a disaster.
Time is and will tell the damage 'he' has done.
