Assuming you are using "moral" casually and not trying to shift the goalposts, it is a professional ethical obligation. I know you don't like CC but you're just plain wrong here. Go ask the Bar if you don't believe me.

Genuinely feel the attacks on substance early in the campaign, even if some of them were misleading, were much more relevant. The current character attacks feel somewhere between desperate and embarrassing for those making them

I think if we have reached the stage where people are pretending not to understand what a "lawyer" is in order to attack Catherine Connolly, that they really do have very little on her

Yeah and it's not clear how many he will still get. Not zero, for sure, but if he gets say 3% vs 10%, very different dynamics

So hang on the government line is now that the gardaí were aware that someone they deemed a potential security threat being let into Leinster House every day, but did nothing about it and told nobody?

EU Parliament: "Oh yeah? Could a useless parliament do this?!" *pants fall down, trips over, falls into orchestra pit and gets stuck head first in a tuba*

WOW! The European Parliament just voted to BAN the words 'burger' and 'sausage' when used in sustainable plant-based alternatives. HUGE win for the meat and dairy lobby in the EU, and lots more confusion for consumers if this goes through. Insane!

Magikarp strikes down Yamcha with an energy beam, blowing through his chest and out of his back. Magikarp, Yamcha and the beam attack are all labelled "Fianna Fáil"

Another person who people made excuses for for years, because it was convenient for their politics to do so, until it eventually became so bad it couldn't be explained away anymore. Tale as old as time!!

I am getting my jabs in, but the main question for the Irish Times is why in God's name are we meant to give a toss what this person's ignorant opinion is
