Well theres a surprise a couple of “grown ups” felt the need to my comment thumbs down, real mature.

Thomas,nobody is thinking of Brian Lenahan as some sort of holy man or saint,but he was a decent human being who did what he thought was right under a lot of pressure ,he picked up a poisoned chalice when he was given that job. Who are we to judge, could anyone of us have done any better under that pressure.All I can say is that is sad, those children will have to bury their father today.how many of you understand that pain.

Toureag it does not offend me,this is a free country,maybe some people did it for just to get a reaction,and maybe there are people out there that are hurting because of decisions Brian made as a politician. But I do think most people here can relate to what has happened and it is very sad to see a young man that has a young family die,no matter who they are or what they did.He is gone now,but his family and people who loved him will have to say good bye forever tomorrow,and I am sure there are not many out there that does not know that pain.

Does it not occur to you that an awful lot of people feel that it is pushing the bounds of decency to claim that the man was acting in the interests of Ireland. He acted in the interests of a small few, and no level of hagiography will change that.

I gave yours a thumb up Helen

I think that the anonymous part of it should be removed

Thumbs up or down and your username is logged for all to see. Would like to see if people would do
It if they knew that people could see their name

I would also put in the option to remove an inadvertent thumbs down or up as I’ve dine this myself Agee times( fat fingers)on a small screen
