"In more recent years, the British Museum's continuing possession of the Parthenon Marbles marbles has come in for increasing scrutiny. Why do they think it is still appropriate for them to display outrageously looted plunder without pushback, critics rightly ask?" writes Cahir O'Doherty for Irish Central.
"Imagine the kind of airy entitlement that allows you to tell other nations off for daring to hold you to account for your ancestors' obvious misdeeds. Well, I'd like to speak to that issue first hand. After my first recent visit to the British Museum, some acts of piracy are so egregious they can't be ignored."
