If, like me, you find yourself regularly wondering who the gobshites are that go on and on voting for Fianna Fail in the face of shedloads of evidence that they are a self-serving, corrupt, arrogant, prejudiced and incompetent bunch of traitors, you might find the details of the following encounter interesting to read. ... read full story / add a comment

Judge Macken appears to have put off returning a judgement for the Judicial Review I began the same week I spray-painted a USAF C-130 warplane at Shannon Airport until this autumn. That'll make it four years since the day the President of the High Court granted me leave to seek a judicial review of Ireland's part in the Afghanistan war, 12 September 2002. ... read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that we don't really agree on anything at all. Yippee its non banking day, the Sunday Papers is published this week on a Sunday, keen readers will recall the last edition the "Fatwa Edition" was published at midnight 21/7/05 local barcelona time. It has now been 209 days since Ireland had her first tornado of the current age. & and our neighbours in the same climate zone (the Engurlish) have had this week suffered that lamentable Hand of God action which saw many homes in the south of Birmingham left without roofing tiles. But because these were god fearing people there were no deaths or serious injuries. ... read full story / add a comment

The killing on 22 July, of a 27-year old Brazilian electrician Jean Charles de Menezes at a tube station in south London is a blatant example of state terrorism. From what has transpired, any unbiased person could understand that, what happened that day was a pre-planned cold-blooded murder by the police or the military. ... read full story / add a comment

So when Pilate saw that he could do nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took some water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves." Then the people as a whole answered, "His blood be on us and on our children!" So he released Barabbas for them: and after flogging Jesus, he handed him over to be crucified.

Why did it take a Socialist Party county councillor borrowing a hard hat and sneaking onto a site to uncover the Gama scandal? What were union officials like SIPTU's construction branch secretary, Eric Fleming, doing for the last three years? Why is the Dublin executive of SIPTU not allowed to see the results of the union's own investigation? ... read full story / add a comment

Más Ó nó Mac thú, in ainm Naomh Phádraig tabhair cabhair do Teamhar. Tara was Ireland's capital. Fenians died there in 1798. Early Sinn Féin members including Artur Griffith saved it 100 years ago from the digging of the British Israelites. The coronations stone of sorts, the stone of Destiney Liafáil is there to this day. What is Sinn Féin about if it isn't about protecting Ireland's most historic site, the hill and valley of Tara? It's about time the party repeated what its members did 100 years ago. The Daily Ireland has already criticised Sinn Féin members for not doing more. Now is the the time to stop the history of Ireland's most important valley being dug up by 22 ton Excavators.

It was that level of formality,” the spokesman said. “If he was there Gen Myers would have dropped in, it was no firmer than that. But the minister is visiting troops in the Midlands and has been delayed.” Mr O’Dea is visiting army units in Longford and Mullingar as part of his nationwide tour around all barracks. A number of troops from both the barracks are serving with the United Nations peace keeping force in Liberia." ... read full story / add a comment |
