Since Michael McDowell changed the law to impose strict penalties on members of the Garda Siochána who talk to journalists, there has not been any legal way for members to report malpractice, except through using internal channels. Experience has shown that the gardaí can be extremely unsupportive of those who seek to draw attention to failings of their colleagues.

While some people have expressed disbelief at whether a political appointee can be be truly trusted to be independent of political influence, those who can remember the evidence heard in a case in the High Court in 2006 have wondered whether the particular person chosen will be able to inspire confidence in the rank and file gardaí. ... read full story / add a comment

3 exit polls in the Spanish state concur that Zapatero has won the General Election in that state with an absolute majority of both votes cast & seats won.

Over the Pyrennes in the French state, the electorate had its first opportunity to chastise Sarkozy, which exit polls appear to suggest has seen the left win 47% to a right wing 40%.

In addition the Spanish PSOE or socialist party has won the autonomous elections for the Andalucian parliament. It appears the Spanish like liberal modernity even if the onions cost a lot & are prepared to continue with the Zapatero project for another four years. ... read full story / add a comment

There was a bomb attack on a United States military target, an army recruitment office, in New York City this morning.

At about 9AM Irish time (4AM in New York) an explosive device was detonated at the office in Manhattan.

The incident is reminiscent of IRA attacks on British army recruitment offices. In May 1990, for example, a British soldier was killed when a bomb exploded at an office in Wembley in London, and many other attacks were mounted against such places over the course of the conflict.

Politics.ie, the popular internet discussion chat board, has been taken offline in what is said to be a serious hacking incident.

Yesterday at lunchtime the site stopped loading onto users' computers, with all requests timing out. People have speculated that productivity in certain government departments has since shot up. ... read full story / add a comment
