In The Irish Times, we’re fortunate to have foreign correspondents on the ground, with Washington Correspondent Keith Duggan reporting all week from the Republican National Convention convention in Milwaukee. 4 I often don’t have to read Patrick Freyne’s columns myself, because my wife will read his piece and, every few lines, laugh, read a paragraph out, laugh again. However, perhaps the most interesting build-up piece of the week is not directly related to the decider. The Irish Thalidomide Association has demanded a proper apology from the Government, which it says was not contained in a recent letter. Before a planned meeting with the Government next Wednesday, one of the survivors has done a long interview with The Irish Times, which will be published – in print and online – on Tuesday.
