Retraction and Handshake

Day 814, 09:25 • Published in Ireland Japan • by Donovan Thomas


eIreland,

Based on conversations with Sean Power and in light Dubh's apology I have removed the previous article.

Sean Power in his role as CoS spotted what he believed to be possible illegal action.

To maintain his impartial attitude he approached Dubh as a TD to present the information to congress.

While I wish that both of them had dug a little deeper into available public information I cannot fault them for trying to protect eIreland.

Sean Power has tendered his resignation as CoS. I have made a recommendation to President Savage that she decline his resignation.

Dubh, no hard feelings mate. Fact is some missteps were made and some lessons learned but I still believe that you and Sean are patriots and have eIreland's best interests at heart.

I ask the eIrish people to put this aside.

To put aside the suspicion levied at other ministers thought to be involved.

Put aside the "boogieman" attitude many of us have taken on.

We may not all be able to agree on policy and practice, but we can all agree that we waste time and resources by trying to "catch" each other in a mistake. I've been guilty of this myself.

Let's all take a step back, take a deep breath and remember this is our Island together.

We are all she's got.



Very Respectfully,

Vice President Donovan Thomas
