Eoghan Harris terminated

Interesting that the worker's party were looking for cash from the Soviet Union for Harris and for some of his buddies from RTE namely Jerry Gregg and John Caden. Imagine looking for cash from the CPSU and then lecturing others on politics and violence. These people who were sympathetic to the Soviet Union were running the show in RTE.

Odd that this has turned into a discussion of the Official IRA/WP . Harris abandoned all connections with this cabal’s remnants 20 odd years ago (and the feelings were deeply mutual). Hence, as I said at the beginning, Harris has no real defenders I.e. people who are not the kiss of death like RDE or K Myers.

If Harris feels sore that his Loyalist buddies pretend not to know him now in his hour of need, that is nothing compared to their treatment of their erstwhile leader Arlene Foster. Is it coincidence that her defenestration preceded her judicial vindication this week? Anyone who had a heart should feel sympathy for her and revulsion at the “celebrity doctor” but I sense that neither the Loyalists nor the Sisterhood are rallying around her now. In fact the DUP plotters may have plunged their knives into her so suddenly because they didn’t want her to gain the aura of a woman wronged. I’m speculating but it would be just another example of the snake pit that passes for public life in this country.

Prob with Foster was she was never in control of the DUP and when Dodds fell by the wayside she was fully exposed.


And just when I begin to feel a tingle of sympathy this comes to mind and it vanishes.

Would be interesting if Garda Special Branch and Irish Army Intelligence was in the know when all this was going on.

Even if they did successive governments were spending Garda resources on the PIRA ignoring the criminal cartels, the other possibility was Harris was a silly old blowhard and the Russians will just play with him

If the Halleys in Waterford are retained for this upcoming case against Harris and his fragrant friend then i hope they accept Super Dollars,as I think Northern bank notes are out of season at the moment,and sure we all know that theres nothing wrong with raising a few super Dollars for the cause with the Supreme Leader of North Korea according to Eoghan.

You couldnt make this sh*t up and its embarrasing for ireland that this lunatic was made a head coloumist for the biggest selling Irish newspaper in Ireland.

I will say it again,no one trusts the Irish media anymore,and thats due in a massive way to the likes of this lunatic and his enablers but more so to the Irish journalists and editors who let this lunatic rant away for years and built other journalists around him to back his opinions up in an embarrassing fashion.

Sinn Fein have a lot to answer for with some of their candidtates and their "throw unobtainable money at everything" policys outside of goverment, but its the likes of this idiot and all the journalists in Ireland who did not have the balls to shout STOP that they are riding so high in elections and at the polls,and they will still head up to that poor womans house in Armagh come election time.

We get what we deserve and its only the much derided social media that has exposed this inertia that we knew about but tolerated for years.

I hope they take him and the other one for every penny they have because he was as bigger inciter for hatred as Paisley was with the airtime the Irish media gave them.

Used to buy one maybe two papers a day and two or three on a Sunday,wouldnt touch them now,would buy the Daily Express before i would buy an Irish newspaper.

Quite a few, I think. The Sindo and the Indo seem to be moving towards getting an audience who will pay for online subscriptions. Apparently, the female impersonator Eoghan Harris is being replaced by a real woman. Sinead O'Connor will have a weekly diary column in the Sindo from July.

Eoghan Harris, Mrs Eoghan Harris, Gwen Halley, Owen Halley-Harris, Barbara J. Pym, Barbara McIntyre, Gusty Spence, David Irvine, Edward Carson, Winston Churchill, Napoleon Brandy? He could always set up his own blog.

My opinion on Sinead is just sing ,don't spoil it by preaching, letting her write a column or more likely someone else ghost write a column is not the best idea,

Still think it is part of a move to gain a new audience by Mediahuis. Print newspaper sales have been collapsing over the last ten years.

And its planning a big campaign to make it marketable to the nationalist community in N Irl that simply stopped buying it. This will obv mean out with the old and this is not confined to Eilis but don't the extended Fanning-Harris family still have interest in the former INM supplements.

There would be nothing libelous in naming the people invol as it has all been well aired in courtrooms and even Irish law text have reference to the case invol.

Eilis is actually a good writer when not under the malign influence of Harris. The change would have to be gradual rather than abrupt. It would be funny if both Gerry Adams and Arlene Foster were given contracts as columnists.

Well now that Arlene has been bizzarly rebranded as liberal as Ruth Bader Ginsburg since the putch i could see her getting a contract

Here’s a very telling comment from Terry Prone, someone who has been around the media scene almost as long as Harris. When everyone else is getting into a twist about sock puppet Twitter accounts, she asks the central question - how did he get away with it for 50 years?

For 50 years, Harris built a career out of duplicity, force of personality, lack of insight, flashes of creativity widely separated from each other, frenzied self-regard, and sheer uncaring nastiness to others. Anybody who’s come into contact with him could see him for what he was. And is.
Because he has never changed.

She recalls an early, embarrassing, run-in with Anne Harris (who has been strangely quiet recently)

What small potential had ever existed for Anne Harris and me to be friends died right there.

Wasnt Anne Harris revealed to have been writing most of Terry Keanes column after the latter went public about herself and Charley?

I doubt that. Terry Keane had been writing about fashion in the Irish Times and the Sunday Press for many years before Anne Harris enticed her to the Sindo to write the Keane Edge. Anne may have been guiding her hand but the column reads like it was all her own work.

mrjoneill

An unusual relationship the Harris’s with INM. Ann the then deputy editor eloped with the then Sindo editor Aengus Fanning who she succeeded on his death to be given the boot 2 yrs after. I have never seen anything about Eoghan Harris and Fanning from their days in UCC and both were there at the same time. Back then UCC had a small student population so I presume they both knew each other to see. Eoghan met Ann then in UCC after he had finished there and was then a so called socialist activist in Cork going to change the world and at the same time driving British Legion poppy sellers off the Cork streets.

Prone would certainly recognise "frenzied self-regard, and sheer uncaring nastiness to others", if she has any small bit of self awareness.

I'm not aware of any negativity about her, she was upfront with Sean Doherty and the whole phone-tapping scandal.
