I have been trying to review Joe Higgins famous attack on Ahern and his builder friends on the RTE server but it has disappeared. Ahern's reply however is still intact. Is this an insidious form of censorship of Joe's finest moment or no? read full story / add a comment

Brian Cowen once said that Bertie Ahern was man disinterested in material wealth; a Man of the People - a pint of Bass - and a chat with the Dublin people in relation to how the Dublin people are doing in the Championship. The last Socialist, he called himself but now we all know, to the contrary of our lives and our civil liberties, that this is not the case. read full story / add a comment

The world is in a state of chasis as Sean O'Casey might say. Since the advent of George Bush to the White House every other year seems to bring forth a war or talk of war. Few commentators believe that this will stop at Iraq. Last July even Newt Gingrich was quoted as saying that "we are in the early stages of what I would describe as the third world war..."(1) Many people are now openly speculating about who is next. Syria? North Korea? Saudi Arabia? And especially Iran are the subject of fevered speculation even in the established media. This writer would just like to opt for Russia as the next ultimate target. read full story / add a comment

Below is the latest MediaShot from MediaBite. We have focused this time on the extraordinary myopia that appears to have overtaken the Irish media when considering the so-called 'evidence' being pushed by the Bush administration for military intervention in Iran. read full story / add a comment

Islamist militants and terrorist groups pose a particular danger to Iraqi women. Many women’s organizations and activists inside Iraq have documented the increasing Islamist threats to women: the pressure to conform to certain dress codes, the restrictions in movement and behaviour, incidents of acid thrown into women’s faces and even targeted killings. After the U.S. invasion in 2003, many women in Basra, for example, reported that they were forced to wear a headscarf or restrict their movements in fear of harassment from men. Female students at the University of Basra reported that since the war ended groups of men began stopping them at the university gates, shouting at them if their heads were not covered read full story / add a comment

Commenting on the proposed visit by the Russian parliamentarian, Russian-Irish writer Anatoly Kudryavitsky said " This man is a dangerous extremist masquerading as a writer, and should be exposed as a hate-monger." read full story / add a comment

This is thrilling stuff. I could point you in loads of directions at stunning analysis & biting cartoons. But it's best just to look at the nitty gritty of the pieces of paper that go into Hansard - the official record of the Houses of Commons and Lords SW1A Aaakkkmi6mi5. now one of those is a real secret society with hoods on. & I'm not talking about hoodies or asbestos. We do though (get hoodies & asbestos) because we're scum. Remember that the link in this "other press" article is to a site envisioned for people who aren't like you, that's why it's called "they work for you". Thanks to the foresight of some maligned predecessors & hard bleeding by other predecessors - we either live in the bubble of the Irish diasporia or in the republic of Ireland & a lot of voting households up the wee north. & it's not wee actually.... It's global. anyway read full story / add a comment

Today, live-line listeners heard first hand from the distressed lady whose rapist was let walk free from the court after a jury had found him guilty. On the very same day, the same judge Kearney, committed another rapist to 15 years in jail followed by 10 years supervised release. Both men broke into the womens houses, both men were under the influence, both men traumatised their victims and both victims were totally innocent of any provocation. What is the difference? According to judge Kearney, One was a young man from a "good family" and the other wasn't. So what is a "good family?" read full story / add a comment

The year was 1993 or perhaps 1994, I lived in Zimbabwe and the past time that I most enjoyed was horse riding in the Veld near Sunset. On this occasion....I was being brave. I had learned to canter so it was time to jump. An arena, an enthusiasm, the taste of speed and miscalculation and there was change, I went over the horse and under the horse. Outcome: private emegency ambulance - a team who I will never know who most likely saved my life. There was only one elderly man as Neurosugeon in Zimbabwe at that time. From there life became a pilgrim path of exploration and many bumps and turns on the road. Welcome to Brain Awareness Week. Let us all take the opportunity to learn about the brain, about acquired brain injury, about diseases of the brain, about mental health implications, read full story / add a comment |
