How people are so scared to speak out

Sarah Carey's piece in Yesterday's Irish Times makes for great reading.
She comments how on a radio show on RTE 1 at the weeekend no one on the panel was willing to criticise comments made by Colm Tobin.

Obviously because of who he is panelists were afraid or simply unwilling to criticise him. It happens everywhere.

Ms Carey made no reference to his inappropriate comment on Pope Benedict. A pity she did not refer to that.

Great column. Thank you.
