Ex-UN envoy hijacks event for war tirade
Power to speak at literature night for Remembrance Sunday

THE FORMER US ambassador to the UN will hijack a poetry evening in Dublin for a pro-war tirade this Remembrance Sunday.

Samantha Power will deliver the TS Eliot lecture — launched last year with poet Paul Muldoon as the inaugural speaker — at Dublin’s Abbey Theatre on November 12.

Peace campaigners We Save Syria and the Communist Party of Ireland (CPI) alerted the Morning Star to the supposed celebration of literature.
