I was at the national concert hall Tuesday night,a real pleasure to have Mr.Dawkins speak to a public audience in Ireland,and about time.It wasn't sold out,only because the NCH has a limited number of seats available online ,which gives the impression there's nothing left when it says sold out on the website.I knew plenty more people who would have come if they knew there were seats available,how and ever, it was about 85% full. Please don't hesitate in making the trip again, but also, try and avoid idiotic talk shows where you may be pitted against someone with substandard arguments and ridiculous questions,even though there was a couple of cringeworthy ones the other night,amongst a few good ones... I hope the enthusiasm and turnout spoke for itself. Connemara awaits...
