Some of you have been asking where have I been for the last few months.
I have been filming a sequal to Philip Gröning’s very successful Into Great Silence about life in a Carthusian monastery.
My movie will be called Into Great Sleep.
Today in the Papers I see Minister (Junior) Lenihan thanking Archbishop of Dublin for agreening to act as interim patron for a new school in west Dublin.
Last night, however, on RTE news (impossible to get good picture in the West these days, especially when it rains) he was attacking the Catholic Church for creating the problem in the first place by refusing admission to already full Catholic schools in the area. He's an arrogant SOB and its a pity he didn't lose his seat (like Tom Parlon - remember his "Welcome to Parlon country" signs the very day decentralisation of the civil service was announced. I'm reliably informed that they have a similar sign all ready for him in his local dole office).
Anyway, so get on those phones to Marlborough Street or Leinster House and tell Junior Minister Lenihan exactly what we think of him.
