All I feel at this time is about the adage ' walking in the moccasins' of another. Do many of us really remember the 1980's? I do. I emigrated with my then husband to England (we hadn't the qualifications for the US. Both he and I worked in the building industry, for large companies - M.F.N. (liquiddation) but one of the big 9 in the 1970's. Then the Gallagher's Abbey. It was rough one day to see all staff lose their jobs as the construction marketed faltered further in the early 1980's. Land banks existed but planning permission for sites in places like Yellow Walls in Portmarnock were at log jam as Governments changed. I am forever grateful to people like Michael O'Leary and their foresight for Ryanair. It meant we had left Ireland but it was possible to come home and frequently. We brought new friends home. This would not have been possible in the Monopolised Aer Lingus challenged by O'Leary. ... read full story / add a comment

Peader De Bluit Tá an teanga Gaelach mar chuid lárnach de shaol na tíre seo. Is teanga fíor-stairiúl í an Gaeilge. Sí an céad teanga scríofa an Eoraip, agus ó shin i leith tá mórán athruithe feicithe aici, cosúil leis na hathruithe a tháinig ar an tír féin. Ní hí an teanga céanna a labhair Cú Chulainn, ná fiú an teanga céanna a labhraíodh nuair a bhí na Gaill ag iarraidh a lámh láidir a chur i bhfeidhm anseo. In ainneoin sin áfach sí ár dteanga fós í agus tá se de dhualgas againne í a labhairt agus a bheith bródúil aisti. ... read full story / add a comment
national / racism & migration related issues Wednesday September 27, 2006 - 11:46 by Kimmage Red
In another vainglorious attempt to misuse electronics to exclude, the newly-erected Tánaiste intends to make it an offence of the State to be a non-EU national without good reason to be in Ireland. Non-EU nationals, including one might assume North Americans, New Zealanders and those sexy Brazilian dancers - you know, good migrants? - will be asked to prove that they have good reason to be shopping in Carroll's O'Connell Bridge. In other words, the burden of proof that one is not a ‘foreign national’ lies on the individual. ... read full story / add a comment |
