What we have seen in Starmer since July is a petty, inhumane, almost spiteful man who considers himself morally superior to the mass of humanity. This, says Dr David McGrogan, was confirmed in spades yesterday.

The Rossport Five have won the Irish Phenomenon of 2005, six per cent ahead of Eddie Hobbs. Behind them came, IRA decommissioning, The McCartney sisters and Cork.
On the Tubridy show, Mícheál Ó Seighin paid tribute to all associated with the five winners and said that the Rossport 5 and Eddie Hobbs were not very different

That is fantastic about the Rossport 5. Agree with the above comment that IRA decomissioning was obviously much more significant but the Rossport 5 was some phenomenon this year, as indeed was Mr. Eddie Hobbs.

Of course the Rossport situation is far from over, and we must all be ready to take up the cause again if needs be - in even greater force this time.

Power to the People.

Personally I would have seen IRA decommissioning as the most significant event to happen this year. It was a huge and momentous decision taken by the army. It has transformed the political situation in the island of Ireland significantly.
However fair play to the Rossport 5 for their perseverance and dedication in standing up to Shell.
