Holyland residents can let out a sigh of relief, as St Patricks day, passed by. Most families evacuated their children out of the Holylands in an effort to preserve the magic of St Patricks day, but those that remained again had to endure the depraved behaviour of our future professionals, middle classes and SDLP voters. Only 1.2% of the student population is from a poor or working class background, you've only to look at the top range model cars the students of the Holylands drive, to see they're all from money backgrounds, with the bad manners and disassociated aloofness of the snooty rich. read full story / add a comment

Just as the cartoons simplified and obscured the reality of Muslim attitudes, the media coverage caricatured and simplified the debate.

This American Life is an audio chronicle of the weird, the prosaic, the extraordinary, the beautiful and the disgusting in the massively diverse country called the United States of America. It is frequently an amazing show, containing memories of disturbing childhoods, hilarious miscapades and cunning hipster pranks. But no episode has reached the level of the 10th March 2006 episode "Habeas Schmabeas". read full story / add a comment

"Those who failed to have a loyalist march forced through the centre of Dublin at the end of February claimed a near-monopoly of suffering for themselves and ignored the sacrifices of the nationalist community over the past few decades," said Ruairí Ó Brádaigh, President of Republican Sinn Féin when he spoke at a 30th anniversary commemoration of the deaths of Fian James Francis McCaughey (13), Fian Patrick Bernard (13), Joseph Kelly (57) and Andrew Small (62) in Edendork Cemetery, Co Tyrone.

Ireland's first cannabis policy reform organisation, the Centre for Cannabis Policy Reform Ireland (CCPR) launched their website and campaign this week.
