Madam,
While finding the item about weather reports from Blacksod Bay interesting in the run-up to D-Day 1944, I do hope we aren't going to be served-up a diet of questionable tit-bits masquerading as bona-fides of Ireland's gallant role in Europe's 20th century troubles in the next few years, fig leaves to cover our sense of awkwardness.
Ireland's failure to step-up to the mark in the 20th century is a permanent embarrassment, and no amount of flim-flam tangentials can change that fact.
On the Day itself, Friday 6th, as the leaders of the free world, on the beaches of Normandy, marked the beginning of the end of Nazism, Ireland was engaged in introspectively dealing with a 'local difficulty' of its own, a crime against humanity in Tuam.
The people of Ireland may have thought they were only being led up the garden path, by their 'liberators', but it turned out to be the road into a bog. And we've been trying to find our way out ever since.
Is there anyone to lead the way?
