national / arts and media / news report Saturday November 01, 2008 15:00 by Sean Crudden
The program at The National Concert Hall last night gave the audience an unusual experience of a great range of sounds - some of them up to ear-drum-shattering volumes. This music presented was in various styles - some of which were contrasting and some of which were complimentary. On the whole, the concert was exciting and more interesting than I thought it would be a few weeks ago when I booked two tickets on the internet. read full story / add a comment

The decision of the government to guarantee the liabilities, the debt and deposits, of the Irish banks has been described by the Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore as the ‘biggest blank cheque in history’. The guarantee amounts to around €400bn and will be nearer €500bn if non-Irish owned banks such as the Ulster Bank are included.

Beyond the nature of the decision and its suddenness, the sheer scale of this guarantee has been staggering. The US bail-out plan which was initially rejected by Congress was claimed to cost $700bn. In other words the Irish guarantee could grow almost to the size of the US bail out while the US economy is almost seventy times larger! read full story / add a comment

international / environment / opinion/analysis Thursday October 30, 2008 19:44 by Grattan Healy
A recent BBC TV programme called: "High Anxieties: The Mathematics of Chaos" documented how mathematics has come to better understand the instability in complex system, such as our economy and our climate. Our attempts to predict and control such unstable systems are unsuccessful, as illustrated by the ongoing finance and market crisis. We face much the same sort of unpredictable development with the climate, and for the same reason, a sudden, potentially irreversible, change cannot be ruled out. The unstable and unsustainable economy is now driving climate instability. Our first task is to stabilize our economy, change its purposes, move to sustainability and try to avert the worst effects of climate change. read full story / add a comment
