It's amazing what a short bout of amnesia can do. It permeates your brain, fogging over everything, allowing you to criticise others while forgetting the past. Gerry Adams has it frequently. Maybe it's the naked trampolining. So when Padraig Mac Lochlainn made the following comments in the Dail about cigarette and fuel smuggling, you can forgive me for thinking that he was suffering from said condition.
