The European Commission has lodged proceedings against Ireland with the European Court of Justice for its failure to assess and control unauthorised quarrying and similar activities.

Debate on Criminal Law(sexual offences ) Bill 2006. Democracy -Lite. Three opposition parties welcomed Mc Dowell's Bill, with reservations. Enda didn't broach the subject of resignation, but told Michael that "he Knew what he should do"..... Section 5 is an absurdity, according to Labour as it is not gender neutral and is open to constituional challenge by young men, not to mention the ever increasing discussion on sexual positions that peppered the chamber, that led to the departure of the rather more faint-hearted TDs, including most of the Front Bench. read full story / add a comment
