My two cents on the possibility of Peter Hain laying a wreath at Croke Park:
- Cent 1: It’s a silly piece of peace process choreography, like the meeting between the DUP and the Roman Catholic Church. This time, however, it is designed to burnish the legacy of Tony Blair as he prepares to leave power.
- Cent 2: Apologising for an atrocity in the distant past is meaningless when the current government is complicit in far greater crimes in Iraq. Unless Irish lives are worth more than Iraqi lives, it seems hypocrisy to accept any such apology. The request to lay a wreath should be refused.
