Yes, this is a disgrace. Joyce has done more for Dublin than Haughey. I was there for the centenary in '04 and it was a wonderful celebration that began months earlier, culminating in extraordinary citywide Bloomsday events straight out of Ulysses with a HUGE parade of a complex musical variety thru Dublin streets! I'd been there in '01, but wanted to really be a part of this massive event in '04. It seems that other folks in other countries are celebrating.
