Over the past three years under Mr Justice Morgan the one sided preliminary hearings have continued and preparations for the civil case have been ongoing with an input from the plaintiffs only. The sole evidence against Michael McKevitt is that of informer David Rupert. However, on this occasion his evidence is conditional on whether he is to face cross-examination or not. Mr Rupert received an assurance that as Mr McKevitt will have no legal representation he will not face a rigorous cross-examination and he will have a free run to give whatever evidence he wishes. The assurances given to Rupert may ring hollow and it is possible that the issue of legal aid will be resolved in McKevitt’s favour, no other conclusion could be reached in the interest of fairness. Under renewed circumstances, Mr Rupert may not be as enthusiastic to face cross-examination by McKevitt’s legal team. ... read full story / add a comment

Is it an optical illusion? Is it conservative Irish Times staff subconsciously misrepresenting public opinion on the use of Shannon for the Iraq war? It's a conspiracy theorists' dream.... It has to be seen to be believed... And the most bizarre part is that The Irish Times isn't going to do anything about it. ... read full story / add a comment

Despite, predictions to the contrary, elections in the wee north continue to be pretty much a sectarian headcount. The predictions of an SDLP revival, on one side, and a grassroots republican revolt, on the other, both turned out to be wishful thinking as Sinn Fein and the DUP continued their growth among the respective sides of the sectarian divide. The prediction of an increased turnout (which was repeated right until the end of counting) also turned out to be a figment. ... read full story / add a comment

"Oh it's international Women's Day and so many issues have been co-opted and the 'F' word is become a dirty word for some people, what shall we do?" We decided that the source of a lot of our bad legislation which mitigates against women and children, especially the Criminal Law (sexual Offences) Bill 2006, emanted from the Offices of the Tanaiste and Minister for Justice, Michael Mc Dowell. We decided, therefore to 'unmanage' him. ... read full story / add a comment

The new president of University College Cork, Dr Michael Murphy, has been quick off the blocks to establish a rapport with the media and reassure his audience that the new presidency, executive and governing body can be trusted going forward. But what about the past, what about the very serious allegations raised against UCC and what about the repercussions of the Malone Report? Any attempt to sweep the many outstanding matters at UCC under the carpet is likely to further inflame the situation ... read full story / add a comment
