Anyone who reads Paul Durcan's poem in today's Irish Times will be reminded of the importance of a free press.
No doubt some people might be offended by the poem but it would only be a silly and dictatorial type person who would call for its omission. It would indeed be laughable to call for the resignation of the editor of the newspaper.
If the Irish Domincians pay heed to what Fr Dunne writes in his report re the blog, then the province has an obligation to surrender any use of the word veritas.
This might now give the province the platform to discuss openly and honestly so many issues that need discussing. There are many issues about which the province needs to talk.
