I was watching a news article on RTE 30th May 2005 about drunken street violence in Dublin. It rekindled a question that has always been in my mind, "what about an alternative to alcohol". It is clear that Irish citizens desire some kind of recreational substance, the most socially accebtable being alcohol. ... read full story / add a comment

Everyone in the house is getting ready to go out and vote. Polling stations in our area (Bagneux, one of the last two Communist towns left in Paris's former "red belt" suburbs) are closing at 9 or so. Nina and I (we're engaged - did I say?) are then off for a non-party with some friends. I can't vote here, but I've been following some of what others have been saying here, and would like to share a few observations with you. ... read full story / add a comment

Having become alarmed at the rising crime rate more than two years ago I decided to build a website to highlight the problem. In that time almost nothing has been done to address the problem. How much more mayhem do we have to put up with before our elected representatives finally get around to doing their jobs? ... read full story / add a comment

The following passage may appear to be a string of non-sequiturs. That's just the punctuation. It is in fact a (slightly banal) list of reasons why people volunteer to take part in community development and other altruistic, organised and unpaid activity and work. ... read full story / add a comment

I thought this might be of interest for assorted lefts. I've written this article for a music fanzine in my own area, but it certainly has political relevance, especially for fans of the German industrial metal group. The politics of Rammstein have been debated for years, but those who I have spoken with have always been a little unsure of the actual stance of the band. Hopefully this article will go towards clearing this debate up in some ways. Any constructive criticism is appreciated. ... read full story / add a comment

Marx said that religion was the opium of the people but sport has eclipsed man's fascination with the supernatural. Football is the heroin of sport. I can remember the first time I stood with my father on a terrace and watched men chase a bag of wind around a field. I still can be found standing on those steps in all sorts of weather. ... read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that the mediocre praise the dead and refract the vision of living folly with a mythic myopia. This weekend saw the philosopher Paul Ricoeur die peacefully in his sleep, and the Irish State really kick into its Hamilton year. Whom they term "Ireland's greatest scientist" = utter crap. In honour of Paul Ricoeur, this week's sunday papers is an attack on false memory, the Selective and Collective memory : Memory as fetishised community : Communality as fetishised memorial & I hope readers will bear with the different style as I recover from watching Star Wars episode 2 & I Robot, on DVD, and writing encylcopedia pages and blogs wonder, what has Ricoeur to offer the XXI century??? The Dangerous Place for consideration this Trinity Sunday is the future of Biotech and Human Cloning. ... read full story / add a comment
The great Housing rip off Whether we pay rent or a mortgage, the cost of keeping a roof over our heads takes up a huge proportion of our income - those of us who are 'lucky' enough to be in a position to do so. Everywhere we look - both in Dublin and other cities and also in small rural villages and towns - the skyline is dotted with cranes and houses and apartments seem to be springing up everywhere. ... read full story / add a comment
