offsite link Fifty Ways to Leave the European Convention on Human Rights Fri Apr 19, 2024 17:28 | Dr David McGrogan
Rishi Sunak has once again been dropping hints about leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. This is not credible, says Dr David McGrogan: such a feat would require a Government far more serious than this one.

offsite link Woke Activists Need to Read Their David Hume Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:16 | Dr James Allan
The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

offsite link Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

Clare people got an interesting insight into two important topics this weekend following public meetings in Ennis and Shannon.

The meetings addressed health and safety issues surrounding military use of airports and also an insight into huge changes in the world economy and fuel supplies, and what these two subjects mean for us locally. read full story / add a comment

Anti-War activists show their support for Mary Kelly who is shortly facing re-trial on charges resulting from her disarming of an American Warplane en-route to Iraq.
She did nothing more than her civic duty under the terms of the Nurenberg war crimes tribunal that states and protect the Irish constitution.

"Individuals have the duty to violate domestic laws to prevent crimes against the peace and humanity from occuring"

If convicted, she faces up to ten years in Jail. read full story / add a comment

as two more combat divisions are requested for Iraq and 25,000 troops in Iraq are told to stay an extra 90 days, Shannon airports tills are ringing with blood money from Bush's war machine. Of course, there is no mention of the Iraqi dead and wounded, and any dead Americans fly home from Ramstein to Dover.
Shannon only handles the live troops.
Dead men don't buy duty free, I guess. read full story / add a comment

While the corporate media froths and sputters over fantasy foreign "armies of anarchists" invading Irish soil and overstretching the "young inexperienced Gardai" a full scale invasion is taking place with the assistance of the government, the Gardai and the airport authorities at Shannon.

Not doing these updates as often as previously, I assume people still realise that the airport is still being used on a daily basis.
But t'was busy enough there recently to warrant a mention... and not just because troop numbers thru Shannon are on the increase. read full story / add a comment

From the Courts of Navarra to Paris

Because of etymology, vocabulary, historical origins, distribution of elements and development of the game, it can be stated that tennis is another variety, now perfected, of the Basque ball games. read full story / add a comment

According to Ireland On-Line's breaking news section, SIPTU members at Shannon Airport have voted to take strike action on St. Patrick's Day. Though it is over the voluntary redundancies of some 100 baggage-handlers, rather than America's war crimes, the move must be welcomed! read full story / add a comment

Owen finally got a chance to make arguments against the bail conditions imposed on him. The judge had previously denied Owen the chance to make arguments. Owen (who hadn't eaten for over 2 weeks, stood for 70 minutes and totally out-manouvered the state, including giving a serious 16 minute grilling to Inspector Tom Kennedy . Read on. -skip the background if you already know it. The words don't do justice to the flair and concentration of Mr. Rice, nor the flustered squirming of Inspector Kennedy and the pained expressions of the judge.
Owen will be in Cloverhill Court on Monday morning to apply for the original bail conditions to be restored, and the new ones quashed. read full story / add a comment
