Names tell stories about their writers

Breda O'Brien in her article in yesterday's Irish Times writes on the abortion subject.

When she refers to TD Clare Daly on the first occasion she calls the Dublin TD 'Clare Daly TD'. Every reference after that is simply 'Daly'.

All references to the Archbishop of Dublin are either Archbishop Diarmuid Martin or Dr Martin.

It's the small things that tell the reader so much.
