Talk:John Hearne (lawyer)

The difference between US education system and Irish one.
Waterpark College, at the time Hearne was a pupil, had a primary and secondary school. A Secondary School is the equivalent of a High School in the US. Hearne received his third level education at UCD ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_College_Dublin ) The NUI is a set of universities in Ireland. While the expression "law school" might be an Americanism, it is not very encyclopedic. It might be better to phrase it as "studied law at" or "educated at".

Clarify please
"Hearne wrote the first draft of the constitution... it is not clear who wrote the first draft..." What? So is it known if he wrote the first draft or not? (Or am I just being stupid and not reading something correctly?) Lady  of  Shalott  01:44, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, it says "With Moynihan, Hearne wrote"--a somewhat vague phrase, found in the sources also, because in fact it isn't known who really wrote (that is, physically wrote) it. One of the sources I looked at (I think it's in the references, can't remember) suggests, more or less, that De Valera actually wrote it. But I've changed a "wrote" to a "drew up". Does that help? Thanks Lady, Drmies (talk) 01:59, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think so, but your commentary above is what's really helpful. Thank you, Doc. Lady  of  Shalott  02:07, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Thomas Jefferson?
Isn't it kind of odd that he got the nickname "Ireland's Thomas Jefferson" because he wrote the Irish Constitution? Thomas Jefferson was not particularly involved in writing the U.S. Constitution; he was actually in France at the time. --Jfruh (talk) 04:21, 16 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure about the importance rating but the quality is a very dodgy "c" Sarah777 (talk) 21:54, 29 October 2016 (UTC)
