Brendan O'Donnell died in the central mental hospital a young man (~ 23) about 10 years ago. Whatever happened him the event set alarm bells ringing in my mind. Is it too late now (or too soon?) to seek a transparent public account of his death and how it came about? He was a triple murderer, physically strong and, as far as I know, suicide was not a factor. ... read full story / add a comment

Having had our bags stolen in Belfast many years ago, we got invited to Anderstown social club by some fellas who had tried to stop the snatchers and we went to the club. It is a memory etched onto my brain and says something important about community memory and retaining those places for the upcoming generations of this Our Island. Politically naive southerners like myself did not know the North of Ireland, nor where it was 'safe' to go , back in the nineties; but you learn quickly enough. our hiking trip coincided with some appalling tragedies and personal dangers that are largely gone. The London type taxis Which were 50p were operating and some drivers were being sniped on call-out. ... read full story / add a comment

Rooming in’ involves the care of a newborn infant in a cot near the mother’s bed instead of in a nursery during their hospital stay. This has very many positive advantages for the mother and baby in terms of bonding and getting to know the new baby’s routine in the early days of its life and also the instant availability of the mother for feeding, a recognised bonding time be it bottle or breast. Rooming in also has many advantages for maternity hospitals in terms reduction in requirements for nursery spaces in hospitals and therefore, reduction in numbers of staff required to supervise the nurseries and take care of the infants. Most Irish maternity hospitals operate a full rooming in policy but the question is - Do Irish Maternity Hospitals support rooming in? ... read full story / add a comment

The Law Reform Commission has today in the height of the balmy Irish Summer released a PDF doc. on the removing of conviction from personal record -after time lapse- The time mentioned in the report http://www.lawreform.ie is seven years. The time lapse being pertinent , but no mention of the the crime. Being Pernickety here but surely the type of crime removed from record is important too. Some sexual offences, for instance carry only six month sentences, such as custodial time for down-loading internet child porn. The issue of paedophilia and its sentences does not come into the report but constraints will be placed on the people who have been imprisoned for crime in sensitive areas such as in 'The Care of Children' ... read full story / add a comment

The images of the assault of a young woman campaigner at one of the 38 archaelogical sites on the route of the Proposed M3 by members of a private company; and the criminalisation of those campaigners who have given time and energy to forwarding awareness of the ecological and heritage implications of the bi-section of the Gabhra Valley necessitates inquiry. John Gormley has stated that his hands are tied and he can do nothing 'unless something new comes up'. Well ,his hands may be tied but they have not been placed in handcuffs for asserting the individuals right to protest. He has not been jailed for conscientous objection. I am calling on John Gormley to meet with the eight people who have been criminalised and to speak to them about the brutal attacks that we have witnessed on this newswire. The concerns of the campaigns regarding the liscensing of the 38 sites, the abuse of mandate by Minister Roche and the failure of his Dept to engage with the issue. ... read full story / add a comment

There are important lessons for the Irish Left to learn from the outcome of the recent General Election in the south of Ireland. Not least if the left is to build support and gain momentum at the Ballot box, it must offer its core electorate policies that give hope to Society and especially those within it who are less well off economically. The Left need to collectively draw up a program that advocates re-unification, greater freedom's and democratic accountability, full employment, fairness in the work place, a sustainable environment; affordable homes, and a re-distribution of wealth which brings to an end the massive chasm that has opened up between the wealthy and the majority of the Irish people during Bertie Ahearn's period in office. ... read full story / add a comment

Set in the DDR in 1984, actors, stasi, writers and politicians display some of the best and worst vestiges of humanity against a backdrop of dimly lit deserted streets, grey buildings and fenced in feelings. Stasi agent Wiesler a loyal servant of the party and the state believes writer Georg Dreyman to be not so loyal, a crime in the stasi agents eyes. Wiesler gets his chance to nail the writer when the corrupt and seedy Minister Of Culture decides he wants Dreyman to be found guilty of anything. The politicians motives have nothing to do with love of party or state. ... read full story / add a comment

The Six One News tonight was followed by a Consumer Soap Opera 'Docu' special on the intimacies and murder of the O Reilly Marriage. Serious Reporters discussed with alacrity the 'ins' and 'outs' of the case. This is because RTE are consumer driven shite and incapable of Opinion and analysis. -They like to give the public what it wants- This kind of mentality drives US Consumer TV where Newsreaders burn reports on Paris Hilton. When did RTE last analyse Geo- political movements GM/ECO/. It has become popcorn TV for the Great brainwashed Irish Nation. ... read full story / add a comment
