I keep on finding myself reading GFA as the initials of some breakaway from the GAA calling itself the Gaelic Football Association. I always do that kind of thing with acronyms.

But back in the grim real world again. The actual facts in this are still unclear, and there's going to be investigations and court hearings about it. That provides an opportunity to cool things and get back to business. Using all this as an occasion for political manoeuvring and posturing seems to me grossly irresponsible.

Irresponsibility is what it's all about really - the failure of a number of people on both sides to accept and live up to their responsibility to recognise that the Good Friday Agreement has to be made to work, and to do what is needed to make it work.

"The best is enemy of the good"; "Striving to better oft we mar what's well"; "If you keep on picking it, it'll never get better".
