Is there anyone who can remember a Christmas that changed their life forever? A time when the painted screens of peace and goodwill were torn away and you were left staring into the charnel-house of unforgiving reality?
Let me take you back to the Ireland of 1983 where unemployement stood at 15%, gross emigration for the decade was 450,000 and the referendum on the constitutional amendment banning abortion was carried by a two to-one majority.
Yes, Ireland was Poland, a place where church attendance stood at 87% and pictures of Jan Pawel were de rigueur. Back in 1983, smoking was a social requirement, non-smokers were routinely mocked. Interestingly, nobody where I lived had depression, instead they “suffered with their nerves”, a very Irish euphemism for a whole spectrum of mental issues ranging from agoraphobia to a man who killed cats for fun.
