Seán Lemass: The Lost Memoir is coming out next month. It's the story of a transformational Taoiseach in his own words. It was assumed that Lemass had not left his own account of his extraordinary political career for posterity, but he had.

The Social Democrats quit X last month for this channel. They had to return to X to post an apology to Alan Shatter about comments made by Gary Gannon alleging that he had met with Jeffrey Epstein. This is the background to the apology. www.irishtimes.com/politics/202...

Delighted to announce my new book Seán Lemass: The Lost Memoir edited by me. Lemass, Ireland's most popular Taoiseach, left no autobiography or papers, but he recorded 22 hours of interviews with a businessman called Dermot Ryan in the 1960s. They are an extraordinary political testimony.

Bill to rename Dublin Airport after Seán Lemass brought forward in Dáil Hub ‘owes much’ to former taoiseach’s ‘policies and foresight’, says Fianna Fáil’s Malcolm Byrne

As a country we are great at remembering those who died for Ireland. They have streets, train stations, GAA grounds, etc named after them.
We are lousy at remembering those who lived for Ireland. Of course, Dublin Airport should be named after Seán Lemass.

I have no idea of what you're talking about - more lies David. Did you not learn your lesson from getting banned from Twitter?

Good man David, ever the class act. I didn't complain seven years ago and I'm not complaining now. Any more lies you want to tell about me while you're at it?
