Is there any chance of a better photograph of him? The one we've got is excessively small. -- Arwel 01:18, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I think the problem is copyright/GFDL - AFAIK the current one is cropped out of a photo taken by a Wikipedian and so is definately OK. There is a decent 'promotional' headshot on Bruton's own website. Blorg 09:33, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- I found a decent EU photo of him. It's been uploaded. Hoshie 03:18, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)
I disagree that he was opposed to the Brits going slow with All-Party talks. I recall Bruton supporting Unionist arguments that there should be no talks including SF before decommissioning, until late into his term. Peter O Connell
[edit] "Public School"?
Who wrote this? What country are we talking about? Clongowes is a private secondary school. El Gringo 18:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
Such exclusive schools are known frequently as public schools in Ireland. FearÉIREANN

Since when? Can you footnote that? El Gringo 19:38, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] POVs
This article BTW contains a lot of POV. The statement Some have attributed Bruton's softening on social issues such as divorce to the influence of his wife, Finola is absurd. Anyone who knows the couple knows that she is more conservative than JB. He was actually talked into supporting divorce at the start of his leadership by Jim O'Keeffe, TD.

Ireland uses International Dating (dd/mm/yyyy) not American Dating (mm/dd/yy). The right to place Irish articles in ID is explicitly stated in the MoS. I've reverted Raul's reversion. Super Jumbo's edit was correct. FearÉIREANN
