In The Kerryman of July 17 historian Ryle Dwyer tells the story of Dominican priest Edward Hyacinth Collins.
Collins was appalled with the killing of the head of the Auxiliaries in Kerry, Major John A Mackintosh.
A row breaks out, the prior in Holy Cross Tralee gets involved as does the provinical in Dublin Fr Finbar Ryan.
Reading the piece one is made aware that the three Dominicans involved don't have any great love for one another.
Signs of dysfunctionality, ineptness, inefficiency are evident.
Guess what happens Collins when he gets into trouble? They move him to Newry.
That was 1921.
Do things ever change?
