It seems that President of Ireland Mary McAleese has put her foot in it exposing the states intended attack on the Constitution before the official announcement supposedly being considered in secret by all State Parties. In her address Mrs McAleese indicated that the state focus is to be the ‘Home’ and not the Family. The independence of her office must preclude her from such insider knowledge. read full story / add a comment

Dear Tanaiste and Minister for Justice,

It is manifestly clear to me as a constituent in the Rathmines area that your failure to grasp the issues of community opposition to the high pressure gas pipeline in Rossport, coupled with your failure to 'Watchdog this Corrupt Fianna Fail Administration' even as you climbed a lampost in Ranelagh, to underscore your desire to end corrupt practice is a sham performance. read full story / add a comment

To whom it concerns,
I must start off by saying that I approve of the Corrib gas coming ashore. I attended a meeting in Belmullet 30 months ago and I voted for this project to go ahead. There were over 800 people there and all but 5 voted in favour. I later worked on the project at Ballinaboy but no longer do so. read full story / add a comment
