Politics and morality

Bertie Ahern had an interesting quote from Daniel O'Connell in his speech to MPs and Lords yesterday. He quoted the champion of Catholic emancipation as saying "there is nothing politically right that is morally wrong.鈥

I wonder whether people agree that the peace process has followed this dictum, or has been an example of the end justifying the means?

I find it difficult to think of Bertie Ahern in terms of morality. This is a man whose opaque financial dealings are currently the subject of forensic examination by the Mahon Tribunal in the Republic. Moreover, at this very time and against all precedents and norms An Taoiseach is using the leader of a foreign country to promote his own chances of re-election in the South. Morality and Bertie Ahern? You鈥檙e havin鈥 a laugh!
