Watching Mary Hanafin on the RTE programme 'Crisis: Inside The Cowen Government' I am reminded of my student days. Ms Hanafin and I were in the same H.Dip class in 1979/1980.
Back then my comment on the young Fianna Fáil member was that she reminded me of the Italian politician who, observing a demonstration, read the situation and went out the front door to be at the front.
The following day, observing another demonstration and reading how it was going, opted to go out the back door and again, was at the front of the parade.
We seem to keep our basic instincts.
