In the June issue of the free sheet 'Alive' there is a report on Colm Tóibín's play which showed on Broadway.
The last paragraph runs: "A naked Fiona Shaw on stage might have caused a stir 45 years ago, but today? Tóibín needs to catch up."
Murdoch's 'News of the World' at its most vicious would not be up to such writing.
It is a nasty, ugly comment. It is also another sign of how misogynist 'Alive' is.
On a personal level, I studied at UCC with Fifi Wilson, AKA Fiona Shaw. We have been friends many years.
'Alive' gives a publishing address of the Dominicans in Tallaght, which immediately associates the free sheet with the Dominicans. While there is a disclaimer in small print on the front page, it is far too easy to link the free sheet with the Dominicans.
As a Dominican, I am greatly ashamed that this free sheet has any links whatsoever with the Irish province of the Dominican Order.
