This article is an invitation for people that may know the answer to the following questions i have in relation to fee paying schools. I understand that the state pays the wages of teachers in fee paying schools while allowing them to also charge those parents who can afford it - fees. My understanding is that this is situation is an historical anomaly based on most fee paying schools being protestant at the creation of the state 90 odd years ago. I was wondering in these times of cut backs , is it true that the state continues with this situation..... ... read full story / add a comment

There are 161 people in this country looking for a new political organisation. Sadly agressive little mobs have an ability to re-structure and re-group at enormous rates of rapidity. They will not be doing so in time for the next set of elections: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/89793 Before she left she destroyed the healthcare system , aided and abetted by centre-right party, The Greens. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88159 http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85274 http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84946 The Sunday papers will busily eulogise on her contribution to Women's Politics, whilst it is evident that she has dealt women's health issues a cancerous body blow.

Let's be frank about it, Mary Harney's Genital Warts story is a shame crying out for a tongue wagging.
