On Monday evening RTÉ One Television screened a programme on Noel Browne and his work as minister for health. His nemeses were the Archbishop of Dublin John Charles McQuaid and the medical profession.
Yesterday The Valley of the Squinting Windows by Brinsley MacNamara featured on the Oliver Callan Show on RTÉ Radio One.
Because of the book MacNamara lost his job as a teacher, sacked by the parish priest and never received a pension.
The footage of the behaviour of those around the archbishop leaves no one in doubt about the times that were in it. Embarrassing.
It’s never ending. It’s not enough to bow our heads in shame.
And what about all those who allowed it happen?

Outstanding documentary on Dr Noel Brown. And now we've gone to the other extreme. Can we ever reach a balance?
