The Offaly Haircut Row

Thats what they’re calling it on RTE. I call it an absolute disgrace – the “Principal Should be Sacked Incident”. I noticed it on Michele Neylon’s newly revamped site earlier, so I watched out for it on the news. Donal also gives his views on how ridiculous this haircut rule is even during school year.

But lads – did ye see the footage? THE KIDS DIDN’T EVEN HAVE SHAVED HEADS. They had tidy summer haircuts – you finish school and you’re hit by an all-mighty heatwave, what do you do? You go and get your hair cut.

Offaly Haircut Row

I was expecting some some neo-Nazi skinheads, but when I saw the boys on the news, at first assumed these were “before” pictures. Their hair was a bit short on the sides. Watch out for it on the 9 O’Clock news tonight – and listen to the principal spout some feeble bullshit about “uhhh uhh if this were an interview”. Principal Edward McEvoy should not be allowed work in a school.

    I assumed that they had given themselves a wet-shave, right to the skin, a la Natural Born Killers! The fact that it’s not just shows that the principal was on a major power-trip and probably had some axe to grind with these guys.
