As we come into another Fox and Stag hunting season, I can't help but think back to the last season and wonder if the Board of Education have included Bloodsports in the school curriculum. I have regularly witnessed many children participating in hunts throughout the country, even though it was clearly not a public or a school holiday. Surely it would be more beneficial to a child's intellectual well-being to follow the same educational system that a normal well-adjusted child would follow in order to become a normal upstanding member of society in later life, rather than turning into the violent blood junkies that certain members of society have become? ... read full story / add a comment

We held a vigil for the dead at Shannon Airport on 31st October 04. This was promptly ignored or ridiculed by the mainstream media. We expected as much, water off a duck's back etc. However, I have taken exception to the misrepresentation of the purpose of our vigil by one periodical, The Limerick Leader. Below is the offending section of Editorial and my open letter in reply. ... read full story / add a comment

'The Irish poet Brendan Kennelly once described Bewley's Café in Grafton Street as the 'heart and the hearth of Dublin'. Dublin, he said, would not be Dublin without Bewley's. These sentiments have been echoed by generations of Irish people since Joshua Bewley first introduced tea to the Irish public in 1835. Bewley's is a name synonymous in the history of Dublin and more recently of Ireland as a whole. Bewley's itself has a rich history of growth and survival which has proved it to be one of the last bastions of tradition in a changing Ireland.' ... read full story / add a comment

Some years ago, when I worked in a Swedish multinational, it issued a communication from HQ which read: 'Mr. X has asked to be relieved of his position as President of Y Division (the biggest in the group)..We wish Mr. X well in his future career.' Mr. X of course go a pay-off to keep his trap shut and agree to a 2 yr non-compete clause. He was soon forgotten and the usual self-serving tripe about 'Group culture' continued to be peddled as if nothing had happened. ... read full story / add a comment

More than a decade ago, Leona Helmsley*, New York’s ‘Queen of Mean’ famously said that ‘only the little people pay taxes.’ She could have been talking about Ireland and yesterday’s announcement that 11 millionaires paid zero tax legally, can only add to the perception of inequity in our society. ... read full story / add a comment
