The words of two government ministers and a TD

In a radio interview earlier in the week Simon Harris, Minister for Higher Education Research Innovation and Science said: “I think we have to be honest with the public.”

Words, language can easily become movable feasts. Many of us tend to say it, but why does Mr Harris have to think about being honest?

In a similar vein, Sinn Fein TD, Pearse Doherty on radio yesterday when talking about last Thursday’s riots in Dublin, at one stage referred to the ‘masses’. It sounded all wrong or did the Deputy let something slip?

The Minister for Justice served no one well yesterday in the Dáil when she called people SBs. As the Garda commission said it’s not a good idea to ‘other’ people.
