Liam Lawlor was pronounced dead in Moscow today after the car in which he was travelling ploughed into a lamppost.

As one of the most controversial Irish politicians of the last decade, Lawlor was never afraid to say
how he felt. He was also not afraid to keep quiet and suffer the consequences. His unwillingness to co-operate with the planning tribunal earned him some time in Mountjoy Prison.

However, there's an imaginary time period in which respect for the dead is honoured and negative talk is kept to a minimum. In Fact, Ah acknowledges this. More later.
