The Cheap Talk of Emmanuel Macron Thu Mar 06, 2025 12:37 | Noah Carl
Macron claims that Russia is an ?existential threat? to Europe. Yet his actions belie this. France has given Ukraine 12 times less aid than Denmark. And it's still importing billions of euros of Russian energy.

Margaretta D’Arcy & John Arden
A “Come-All-Ye” Day-Long Event

ADMISSION FREE
Breaks for Refreshments
Town Hall Theatre, Galway
Sunday 2nd April 2006
12 noon – 6 pm
A cast of well-known faces and personalities, including singers, poets, actors, musicians, workers (waged & unwaged), activists, dossers, buskers and orators, who combine in these readings to bring to light the Life and Times of JAMES CONNOLLY and his relevance today: --
BOYHOOD, APPRENTICESHIP, PROFESSIONAL, THE NEW WORLD,
THE GREAT LOCKOUT, WORLD WAR & THE RISING.
The original version of the show – a 26-hour Marathon, which made the Guinness Book of Records – was first staged at Easter 1975 in Liberty Hall, Dublin, and was sponsored by the ITGWU, with Jim Sheridan as co-director and chief co-ordinator. The text was published by Pluto Press and then by Methuen.
The show was subsequently put on – in various forms – in Belfast, Galway, London, New York, and Downpatrick.
The part of Connolly will be read by John Quinn, who has worked closely with D’Arcy and Arden on stage and radio. He has acted in plays by Synge and Beckett. He took the part of Andrey in Friel’s “translation” of Chekhov’s Three Sisters, which played Galway. He will be familiar to TV audiences for many appearances in – e.g. Father Ted, Draíocht (Magic) for TG4, The Knock. He is also a playwright – Shems Progress: James Joyce and the writing of Finnegans Wake for BBC Radio 3 in Joyce’s centenary year.
