(Originally written in response to this article - ed)

I am one of the legion of the amused who watched as (mainly British) critics lashed "The Wind That Shakes the Barley" before they'd even seen it - a fact which in itself speaks volumes for their motives. I have seen it, and in terms of historical accuracy it seems pretty close to what I've read in IRA veterans accounts and heard from their mouths. True, in real life there were some decent individuals - there always are. There was a Black and Tan who allowed an IRA captive to nip in and see his dying brother when the Tan's officer's back was turned. Yet there were also ones like those who slit Kathleen Clarke's sister's hand from fingers to wrist with a razor. I think critics of Loach would do well for their own sakes not to make too much noise about the depiction of the Tans.

I campaigned for the office of MEP based on a platform of independence. I wanted to be a voice of independence for my Munster constituents, neither to be beholden to any interest group nor to be forced to take positions against the interests of the people. There are a lot of people who felt unrepresented or under-represented and I wanted them to have a voice. I also wanted to promote positions that I felt strongly about, but had difficulty finding support in the political parties who are too close to special interest groups.
