From the Irish Independent:

But perhaps the best contribution to the Bloomsday debate came from a listener on Newstalk 106's City Live programme.

"Why the big fuss over what is, after all, merely the centenary of a fictitious date?

Next year sees the 7,000th anniversary of Middle Earth's victory over the forces of Sauron, but we haven't heard anything about that."
