Eamon Dunphy leaving RTE

Ah Dunphy the bootboy prick. The fact that he chose the Southern Unionist (he has toned that down a lot since he stopped being the TCD representative in Seanad Éireann) Shane Ross as his best man says much about his politics. I still remember in the early 1990s it was Dunphy who led the onslaught on John Hume every weekend in that rag the Sunday Independent for the crime of talking with Gerry Adams/starting the Peace Process. Every week that cúnt was given the oxygen of publicity to follow the agenda of "Sir" Anthony O'Reilly/Anne Harris and her two husbands Aengus Fanning & Eoghan Harris/Conor Cruise O'Brien/Shane Ross/John A. Murphy/Ruth Dudley Edwards and the rest of the self-declared Southern Unionists who were steadfastly opposed to the Peace Process.

Hume is on record as saying he went through the toughest days of his life because of that campaign (other attack dogs being Michael McDowell, Proinsias de Rossa, John Bruton and his protégé Brian Hayes).

Snivelling little opportunistic reprobate bullying cúnt that Dunphy is, when it finally dawned on him that he was on the wrong side of history in his opposition to John Hume, whose judgement was proved accurate, Dunphy stopped digging his hole and apologised and tried to reinvent himself as an honourable person. Too little, too late.

To think our licence fees have been paying for his ugliness. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
