Yesterday evening a rippling realisation which may yet become a tidal wave of emotions hit the copy editors of almost all commercial news entities on this continent. Editors of both newspapers and television news programs had to make a very quick decision as to how they would report the naming of Kate Mc Cann as a formal suspect in the case of her daughter's disappearance & then then subsequent naming of her husband. For this has never a run of the mill child abduction case. British commerical media raised an award fund of 2 million pounds sterling whilst the length & breadth of Europe's tourist destinations saw her photo displayed on posters with the phrase "look into my eyes" more often than not written in English. Her case was linked by her parents and the band of loyal followers who charted their unprecedented campaign to one other case of a disappeared child in Spain whilst sighting of the Mc Cann infant were made & investigated from Morrocco to Spain, Malta to Portugal. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Times this Morning 08/09/09 features headlines regarding Eamon Ryan's 'Signal' that the Green Party may be supporting the Referendum on the EU proposed for this country in 2008. The paper's Front page states that Minister Ryan believes that the 'accrued benefits' of EU membership signal a change in attitude by the Greens toward their EU policy. This is media manipulation of the highest order which accomplishes two things:- 1. It assures investors in Corporate Europe that the Greens are 'onside'. 2.It is part of a campaign instigated by Dick Roche TD, who assumes responsibility for both selling the public and manistream media the benefits of EU expansion and corporatism. read full story / add a comment

Micheál Ó Seighin wrote a long article for An Phoblacht this week. His continuing analyses of the controversial Shell scheme to install a polluting refinery fed by a high-pressure production pipeline in the previously peaceful and serene Mayo countryside have been an enormously useful resource for Republicans and others. Here he takes stock of the current situation: read full story / add a comment

Last January the US "global" newspaper "The International Herald Tribune" ran a short story on rumours that the Venezuelan government were going to restrict future parents in the state of the same name to a list of 100 names. As a story it was surprisingly good & even though in my humble opinion it came up to the scratch of the now near institutionalised regular the funny names foreigners & enemies give their spawn stakes it wasn't really picked up no by either pro+Chav or anti-Chav factions in the worldwide socialist or antisocialist family. During the summer commercial media turned their attention again to the delightful parents of mythic China who have been struggling through the much maligned courts of that land for the right to call their baby boy "@ at" which as well as being the international internet protocol for email addresses approximates to the mandarin form "is loved". Then the Venezuelan silly name story came back. read full story / add a comment

There is a retrospective of Ann Madden's Major works from the 1950's to Date running at IMMA until September the 30th, I had meant to write about it before. The themes are of voyages and mythos- including the Icarus story which is painted in red and gold, the paintings are ofter based in connected series through the East wing of the gallery or presented in Triptych form on the walls. Its a stunning exhibition, the later paintings are marked with small icons of crosses . the image shown with this little piece is one of a series of Aurora Borealis inspired paintings- and the exhibition is free, as is the Yeats collection at the National Library and of course walking on the Hill of Tara. read full story / add a comment
