What does "to-day" mean?

Read Finnegan's wake if you can. There's people in it spouting sentiments like the one you're spouting right now.

It's cretinous.

Oddly enough I've already struggled through it some years back, but thanks for the tip.

Striking the outrage about planning corruption when it relates to someone now dead, less outrage to stamp out the many mini-Redmonds still active.

Planning inquiry my arse. Whitewash is cheap.

Them lads gave poor Tom Gilmartin an awful time. Below is an interview with his son. George even gets a mention at 12 mins. It would make your blood boil. We need to rid this s**t from the country. We have an election coming up in a few weeks. If I'd like to see anyone buried its the civil war parties and their cultures.

RIP Tom.

They struck the outrage in that particular article, which is about the funeral. There's gallons of it overleaf in the same paper.

Yep I remember that well. Drove many honest men to breakdowns. A truly horrible man and here's hoping his family face a visit from the Criminal Assets Bureau.

RIP Tom.

I couldn't agree more.

A truly horrible man...well said Eddy.

He put poor Tom Gilmartin through the mill.

I hope Redmond's family can live with the shame.

Personally I don't see the need to even cover his funeral nor do I buy the polite angle either. It's a bit laughable to say that his privately educated children like Haughey's offspring didn't benefit from crime.

Talking of haughey there was plenty of criticism of the man on his death.

Link is broken now but if it was just a news article, then it's standard not to give a negative opinion, no matter how deserved. Or a positive opinion for that matter. Just an outline of the information.

I guess it's back to normal in the Times now he'd dead & buried.

George Redmond among most corrupt officials in Irish history

Bad as he was, as far as I'm aware he was never monstrous enough to put a hyphen in the middle of the word "today".

The Irish Times have vindicated themselves. I'm glad that the "most corrupt official in Irish history" title has now been bestowed on. I'm sure that Tom Gilmartin would have wholeheartedly agreed with that.
