The Hallett Inquiry is a costly and dangerously compromised whitewash built on suppressed science and false assumptions ? shut it down now, say Drs Andrew Bamji and Angus Dalgleish.

Is Criticising George Soros for Things He Is Actually Doing Really ?Antisemitic?, or Just Honest? Sun Jun 01, 2025 07:00 | Steven Tucker
Calling out George Soros for using his billions to bankroll open borders, woke ideology and soft-on-crime policies isn?t antisemitic ? just telling the awkward, inconvenient truth, argues Steven Tucker.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4I've played a few rounds at Greenore ,Sean , and I agree with you that it's heavenly there if the weather holds fine (apart from the 11th which I always seem to bogey on for some reason !) .If it's a bit breezey from the nor'west the wind can fairly cut through you on the fairway as well if I remember correctly .
I was going to visit my own club this weekend - the ladies have a tournament which my better half is booked in for and I told her I'd go along . Unfortunately the fixture clashes with an anarchist bookfair going on in the Teachers Club in Dublin which I have been promising myself I'd get along to.
Danny Carr was the winner of the Captain's Prize for 2008 in Greenore Golf Club. The final round was played yesterday (Sunday 31 August 2008). The par 71 course was playing to every inch of its length with markers at the very back of the back tees. Danny's total for two rounds was 140 playing off a handicap of 9 and he won with a few shots to spare.
Danny was well known as a soccer referee in the local leagues. He is 47 and has spent 30 years to date in the army. He is a corporal. Danny is a native of Dundalk and he has been a member of Greenore Golf club for three years. He is a member of the Greenore Inter-provincial Towns' Cup team. Greenore compete in the second and final leg of the final of this competition next weekend in Newbridge against Newbridge.
Danny was a very popular winner. 270 players teed up in this competition.

A heavy storm of hailstones driven by an icy north western wind momentarily halted the preparations for the 2009 captains' drive-in at Greenore GC this afternoon. However the storm abated and the sun shone while the drive-in took place. There had been a scramble with a shot-gun start at 8.00 a.m. and a further round of the scramble took place starting at 1.15 p.m. immediately after the drive-in ceremony. Members who braved the elements and took part were required to pay an entry fee of €15 which included a voucher for a roast beef dinner. Music, a social, presentation of prizes will commence at 6.00 p.m. this evening.
Men's captain this year is Kevin McKenna a business man and a native of Dundalk. Ladies' captain is Mrs Ann McParland. Her husband Peadar is club president for this year. Peadar and his brother Seamus were born and reared in a public house beside the 4th fairway in Greenore and the McParlands live there still in new bungalows. Peadar is a member of staff with the Irish PGA. Seamus was recently a winner of championships such as the West of Ireland Seniors' and the North of Ireland Seniors' and he was a member of the Irish international seniors' team which won the European championship a few years ago.
Pat Closkey the lady captain hails from Ravesdale where she still lives on her farm. Pat is a retired national school teacher. Seán O'Hanlon the men's captain resides in Bellurgan. He is a native of Greenore. His business deals with alarms and his wife Pauline is a nurse. A mixed scramble was played today in excellent conditions. There were two shotgun starts, one early in the morning and the other at 13.00. When the drive-in was taking place at 12.45 there was not a cloud in the sky over Greenore. An omen for the golfing year to come?
