[ILUG] OT: Irish minister for science helping launch ananti-evolution book?

[Mark Dennehy]

Why would it be okay for *any* Government Minister to go in their
official capacity as minister to the launch of a self-published book
denouncing evolution, written by a crackpot with no scientific
qualifications whatsoever, while we as taxpayers pay that Minister for
his time and mileage, and the author gets the financial benefit of the
press coverage of a Ministerial appearance?
