Faoi dheireadh tá Gaeilge ina teanga oifigiúil den Aontas Eorpach, ach is scannal é nár tharla seo 30 bliain ó shin nuair a chuaigh muid isteach san AE ar dtús.
Measaim gur seo seans deireanach don Ghaeilge teacht slán. Is trua é seo mar tríd is tríd táim i gcoinne an Aontais Eorpach. I mo thuairim, tá an eagraíocht ann go príomha chun an bóthar a réiteach do ghnóthaí móra. read full story / add a comment

A former Iraqi army officer, who once posed as a body-double for Saddam Hussein's elder son, fears deportation to his homeland after being refused citizenship in Ireland.

Latif Yahia, 42, who claims to have survived three attempts on his life by Iraqi agents, has been married to an Irish woman - Karen, 36 - for seven years. The couple have a five-year-old daughter, Dina.

His 67-year-old mother, Yahia, and his brother's two children, Latif, nine, and Chimin, 13, who live with them in Daingean, County Offaly, are still awaiting the results of their application for asylum in Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Elections tend to bring out the worst in leftists. Either they get completely caught up in them, insisting that the result of this election is crucial to the future prospects of world revolution, or else they insist that even sneaking a glance at an election poster is an abject surrender to the oppressive state apparatus. read full story / add a comment

The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, has managed to gain some international attention after his hysterical attack on presidential candidate, Barack Obama. The seasoned Australian politician knowingly stated that a victory for Obama OR the Democrats would be a victory for al-Qaeda, “I mean, if I we're running al-Qaeda in Iraq, I would put a circle around March 2008 and pray as many times as possible for a victory not only for Obama but also for the Democrats”. read full story / add a comment
