an open letter to tony o'reilly ireland's richest man though not in things of the spirit

Dear Tone.
It has been brought to my attention that an article appearing in one of your rags bears an uncanny resemblance to something I've published here.
The article by something called Ian O'Doherty is carried in your Irish Independent of 24th June 2008.
In it there is a reference to Bob Geldoff that seems to imply Mr Geldoff's charitable work for Ethiopia in 1985 actually facilitated the then Ethiopian government in some of its excesses against its own people.
This suggestion does indeed bear a startling similarity to what I wrote here a few days ago.
Tone old bean.
Tone.
Is it possible Tone?
Is it possible that one of your skangers in Sector Seven G is lifting ideas from the Heelers Diaries?
Look into this if you would.
My own view on Geldoff's efforts is more nuanced than your skanger's.
I tend to accept the Hebrew principle that if Geldoff saved a single life he saved the world entire.
He's certainly done more than Ian O'Doherty.
Best regards always.
James Healy
