It's amazing an Irishman has to write the truth in a British newspaper.

And an American (Irish grandparents) to post it on FR!

Why is this coming from an British paper? Is there no Irish paper that would print such?

Some journalists are, it was kind of joke - the Irish media was singing praises of Haughey for the past few days.

Here's a photo of Margaret Thatcher just prior to ripping Haughey's arm out of the shoulder socket and beating him with it.

Nobody ever talked about the prosthetic arm he had for the rest of his days.

He had to recieve all those brown paper bags with the other hand! ;)

Thatcher refused to meet him initially, over his involvement in the Arms Trial.
