Drip, Drip, Drip, the reasons were many and constant to examine the popular support for Irish owned airline throughout its growth. Its tawdy treatment of disabled passengers. Its poor worker relations in other countries and preference for non-unionised workforces. Its current struggle with the Irish Airline Pilots Association. Its history of fraudalent advertising. Again and Again it has proved to be "the unacceptable face of capitalism". This morning Ryanair will close a deal with Boeing to purchase at a cost 4.5billion€ a fleet of aircraft. Thus proving a clear commitment to the arms industry, war economy and utter disloyalty to the European project. ... read full story / add a comment

Is there another way of hitting the golfball out of sight without the skill and power of John Daly? Is it a sin to take pleasure in golf?

This is a link to the list of recalled foods from supermarkets. The food is found to have a cancer causing food dye Sudan1. It is being taken off the shelves and if you have any of it at home, even if you bought it months ago, don't eat it. Supermarkets in the Uk are offering refunds if you return with the wrappers, I assume they are doing the same here. ... read full story / add a comment

About 300 people marched on Saturday afternoon in protest at the ongoing stand-off over the bin tax and the non-collection of domestic rubbish in Cork City. The noisy and lively march was harassed throughout by motorcycle cops who insisted on running normal traffic though the streets at the same time as the march was in progress. The march finished in Daunt Square where it was addressed by an Sandra Condon, an activist with Householders Against Service Charges (HASC) who was jailed in 2001 for opposing Cork City Councils' policies. A number of recently elected city-councillors also spoke. ... read full story / add a comment

One of the great unresolved questions of the early twenty-first century is that of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. How far had Saddam’s WMD programs progressed prior to the United States toppling his government in 2003? And to what can we attribute the failures of U.S. intelligence – and virtually all the intelligence services throughout the world – in massively overestimating Saddam’s WMD capabilities? ... read full story / add a comment
