Lieutenant General Dermot Earley the gung-ho ex-Ranger and commander of the Irish military must be licking his lips!

The Minister for Foreign Affairs says he expects a Government decision to be made on Tuesday over the deployment of up to four hundred Irish troops in eastern Chad.

Dermot Ahern has just returned from a four day visit to Sudan and Chad, during which he met with Government leaders as well as aid workers and local people.

If the Government gives its go-ahead for the mission the Dáil will then have to give its approval.

A gung-ho military bored with guarding armoured money vans wants to get its hands dirty in a nasty imperialist war in Africa. ... read full story / add a comment
Miliband wants the EU to Remember Him and his Ambitions
international / anti-capitalism Friday November 16, 2007 - 12:09 by Reductio Ad Absurdum   text 3 comments (last - tuesday november 20, 2007 - 21:54)   image 1 image
Tony Blair had self-nominated David Miliband to take up the cudgels of office in the wake of
his departure from office, but apart from creating a few little ripples the whole idea was
a non-starter for Blair and for Miliband. He got placed, instead in Britain's Foreign Office
and last night he began to use his office to 'make speeches' , which are both unbelievably
crass and inopportune. They involve beligerence against an already pissed off Putin
and a diplomatic word to 'Keep our promises to Turkey', meanwhile in Turkey, a political
party with connections to the PKK is being banned. We all know what that means in Ireland..
Reductio ad Absurdum.:Reduce debate, achieve political consensus and sell off assets
to benefit the wealthy.

People in Erris and around the world are puzzled by the resemblance of the new Garda Superintendent in Belmullet with "Johnny Sack" Sacramoni from the Sopranos Television programme.

http://www.mayonews.ie/index.php?option=com_content&tas...id=38

Locals have speculated that the two may be related, or even whether the actor Vince Curatola has been hired by Mayo Gardaí to portray a heavy-handed police officer. Recent gangster tactics seen in Erris may indicate that the actor has taken his role too far. ... read full story / add a comment

Personal Reflections of illness and the Irish system

MRSA and its impact on people, on families........Are we negligent?

It is not acceptable for our hospitals to be plagued with a disease that is in effect a silent killer and if it fails to kill you leaves you a victim for life of health system that will eventually destroy you.

For people with long term illness, the lack of multi-disciplinary medics and an over abundance of management/staff, cleaners etc., the hospitals do not get cleaned as used to be the case. ... read full story / add a comment
