 Waters claims RTE mounting a `witch-hunt': ThePost.ie
Irish Times columnist John Waters, the new consultant editor of Magill, has accused RTE of mounting a "witchhunt" against him after his controversial suggestion in the October issue of the current affairs magazine that many children sent to industrial schools in the 1950s and 1960s had criminal backgrounds.
Waters wrote an editorial in Magill that cast doubt on the Laffoy Commission, which was set up to investigate abuse of children by industrial schools in the 1950s and 1960s.
Waters' central point is that people who worked in industrial schools are being scapegoated by the society that sanctioned abuses in the first place.

But [John Stuart] Mill set the bar higher, arguing not just for the right of the public to have its beliefs and dissents upheld, but for what can amount to the opposite: the right of the dissenter to pick holes in such beliefs, regardless of truth or wisdom....
If Mr Waters were less eccentric (is he not the "other" house maverick at the Irish Times?) and more in tune with post-modern Orwellspeak, he would realise that his advocacy of tolerance for eccentricity was in fact advocacy of marginalisation.
Now, eccentrics like Mr Waters can have his columns charitably spiked, trust ing his freedom of expression to be defended by fearless colleagues who "don't know exactly the sequence of events" but are nevertheless "sure" that, having "been at one remove from it over the weekend", they can leave him in the lurch.
