Peter Mahon died on 11 August 1986, a folk hero, an outcast to politicians who declined to honour him, far from well off financially and embittered by his shabby treatment.
If that is your opinion and how you want to remember the Honourable Justice Peter Mahon, you are entitled to your opinion
prospector. We live in a democracy and have that right to freedom of speech.
I myself, prefer to remember him as a man of
integrity (staying true to his moral and ethical principles),
initiative (his proactive, resourceful and persistent approach to the accident) and
inclusion (by embracing and valuing the perspectives and contributions of all during the testimonies and investigations). I doubt he would care what politicians thought of him and I doubt he would consider he was treated "shabbily". He would never entertain such trivial nonsense. However, if you, in your opinion, say he would, then I differ from your opinion.
