After this, we will restrain ourselves. I do a celebrated one-man show about the life and works of James Joyce, almost all of the second half of which is Finnegans Wake, but I never include it in the programme because people would go to the bar if they saw those words. However, they enjoy it thoroughly when they do not know what it is because it is immediately accessible when performed. The Tánaiste should not refer to the inaccessibility of James Joyce. I will send him a free ticket for the next show and he will see just how accessible Joyce is. I hope the Tánaiste will reconsider the matter at hand.
