Unfortunately it's being broadcast into everyone's homes here in
Ireland a hundred times a day because the national broadcaster took a
policy decision to follow the government's lead. I've found out that
the government made a mistake and am trying to correct it. I sent to
open letter to about 200 people in Ireland and in Europe who could
make a difference, and am sharing it with colleagues elsewhere
because it's about a quintessentially cultural issue.
