I had assumed that he would have been a professor at Trinity but now I wonder what was his precise status ? Was he just a lecturer for a few years or a full professor with tenure ?

Jesus H Christ - is he now to be accused of misrepresenting his qualifications?.:mad:

Any chance we could stick to the real controversies?

Like Norris not making the rest of the letters he sent on behalf of Nawi public?

Yes. That. There are a number of existing threads discussing that one.

This doesn't make you seem nearly as clever as you think it does.

One of the good things about Wiki is that many articles have references which can be very useful for further study.
The other good thing is that neither the irish times nor the Sunday Independent can apply their censorship to it.

Stephen Collins of the IT has supplied the answer:
" He taught in the university between 1968 and 1996, though he never obtained post-graduate qualifications after studying for a BA."

He would find it hard to get a job now as a lecturer with only a BA.
