The minister’s book launch
Many people are shocked at the lack of political judgement being displayed by Conor Lenihan in launching a book written by some
Wanna banana?
flat-earther aiming to rubbish evolution. Lenihan claims he’s doing it as a favour to a constituent and doesn’t know what the fuss is about. Speaking as a published author I have encountered great difficulty in getting serving cabinet minister to even attend my book-launches. It is far more common for the minister’s constituency secret, usually a civil servant on secondment, to be sent instead to express the minister’s crocodiles tears for not being able to make it in person, and thus leave me with the impression that he has far more important things to do than launch books.
I thought that the Lenihans, of all people, would be fervent Darwinists. Does the family not prove how intelligence and ability to exploit natural resources will be replicated in the success of certain species over others?
