According to Yahoo News, the first Irish Viking Ship has been found in the Boyne river. This is surely a very important and exciting find. However given the track record of this government at destroying our heritage, in places like Carrick Mines, Tara, and many others, it would be entirely inconsistent of them to preserve this. Surely it should be sold off to the highest bidder at a minimum or broken up and incorporated somehow into chic-furnishings on a set of apartments overlooking the site. ... read full story / add a comment

MediaBite have just circulated the second of our MediaShots, which addresses the issue of press coverage of the objection to existing plans for Corrib Gas in County Mayo. Titled ‘Gas Gaeilge and the Media’, the timing is appropriate given developments this week and also in the light of how press coverage of this issue seems set to sing from the Shell Oil hymn sheet without demur.

The UK Guardian is reporting that Shell along with its Spanish amigo, Repsol, have signed a $10 "initial" deal with the Iranians to develop a liquefied natural gas project centred on the South Pars gas field : "The move is a bold one by Shell because its arch-rival BP has declared itself unwilling to invest in Iran at a time when the international political climate surrounding the country is so forbidding ... Washington has increased pressure on non-US companies in the past year not to invest in Iran and some analysts believe it could be hard for oil companies to maintain operations in both Iran and the United States, where Shell and its Spanish partner Repsol both have fields". ... read full story / add a comment |
