Writing in The Guardian newspaper, President Michael D Higgins, has critiqued British imperialism and the “feigned amnesia” of academics and journalists who refuse to address its legacy.

Kevin Myers is a journalist, historian, and author of ‘Burning Heresies: A Memoir of a Life in Conflict’, and he joined Kieran on Friday's edition of The Hard Shoulder to explain why he feels the President was wrong 'on every level'.
