"Your tenure has also seen the collapse of the community and the breaking of extended family links wrought by the runaway property boom. But sure we are all making a few quid out of it, so we don’t see our family as much as we like and we are all disconnected from our communities to the extent that some of us don’t know who lives next door to us" read full story / add a comment

They say that She would never be forgotten, that young fifteen year old girl who died at the foot of a Marian Grotto in Granard, twenty six years ago. Ann Lovett was found dead beside the body of her new-born child twenty six years ago. She was fifteen. I keep thinking that if the Statue she had chosen to meet her death beside had been painted, or friendly, or had a rounded stomach, a vestige of humanity then maybe that little girl would not have died. She went to the lonliest place she could find, not for aid, but because she knew that no-one went there and she knew she would be safe from prying eyes and intrusion. The case haunted me at the time because we were of an age. read full story / add a comment

The Sunday Independent today exposes The Sun and Daily Mail’s cynical hypocrisy in giving their two audiences in Ireland and Britain totally opposite messages with regard to Ken Loach’s prize-winning film ‘The Wind that Shakes the Barley’. The film depicts the brutal nature of Britain’s war against Irish Independence between 1919-21 and the subsequent Civil War conflict. In Britain The Sun boldly states Loach's film to be “the most pro IRA ever” and the Daily Mail asks “Why does” the “Marxist” film’s director Ken Loach “loath his country so much”. In the ‘Irish’ editions of these British tabloids, on the other hand, the film is an “Irish success” story. The Sunday Independent wants to associate with the national "success" and to denounce its rivals' imperial "sneer" at the same time. However, the Sunday Independent simultaneously exposes its own schizophrenia while doing so. It manages to deliver exactly the same conflicting messages in the one newspaper, the story of Irish success and also a “sneer” at this success. How so? Read on. read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “democratic evolution” and looking back at "how history was made". Very special & very short edition this one, if you're reading this in Ireland or are one of the Irish Diasporia - Congratulations! You are now one of the Establishment, in the period from the 23rd of May to the 2nd of June all the Irish people joined ranks & played their part to be the Regime. We are all Brainy. I am thus giving you all tips today - so you can go on being "Brainy". read full story / add a comment

I went to see this move yesterday expecting a special effects laden epic and disgusting American jingoism and was violently slapped in the face and kicked in the guts for my complacency. Instead I experienced a film such raw realism showing the utterly horrifying depravity of the hijackers such as Siad Jarrah, their utter contempt for human life especially the passengers of United 93 and their revolting sociopathic Islamic fundementalism. The moving protrayl of how ordinary people such as Todd Beamer, Jeremy Glick, Mark Bingham, air hostess Sandy Bradshaw and others threw themselves upon the terrorists and saved hundreds perhaps thousands of other human beings from indiscriminate slaughter. read full story / add a comment

How do most people classify sexual perversion? And how justified are we in our attitudes toward sex? The controversy over the age of consent in Irish courts should be framed with in an honest examination of our general attitude. I will consider a wide range of different relationships: read full story / add a comment

Is a cosy consensus the same thing as the rule of law? How are politicians or judges prevented from mucking about with the law, introducing bad law, administering the law in a partial or unfair way? Does the system require more checks and balances? Is obscurity and obfuscation the order of the day? Are we taking the modh direach to a lawless and capricious Alice-In-Wonderland world? read full story / add a comment

The call for somebodys head to fall has always been the response of people to a national concern which seems to provide us with the satisfaction that we have rid ourselves of the cancer that caused the problem in the first place. Is it time as a nation we grew up and realised that we as the electorate are the ones responsible for the problems in society we see today? read full story / add a comment

As we all had better know by now, a child rapist known as "Mr A". was released from custody this afternoon as a result of a Supreme Court Judgement made last week which ruled that the Statutory Rape Act of 1935 is unconstitutional. At 38 years of age he plied a 12 year old with alcohol and received a 3 year sentance which would have been served in its entirety later this year. Against that backdrop, the worst minister for Justice this state has ever endured, presented to the cabinet his proposals for new legislation on the age of consent and sexual offences relating to the underage, teenagers & mature persons. I really think the reader would do well to consider this news, and concern themselves with the issues which have emerged. read full story / add a comment

The publication of the Arts act 2003, by ex Minister for justice , Equality and Law reform , Mr John O Donoghue TD only received passing comment by corporate media at the time. The Irish Times referred to the Act in Terms of Dilution of the independence of the Arts Council by the new act which for the first time since the foundation of the State allowed a Minister or the Government to set the agenda for artistic expression in the State. The full act is available at this Link: http://www.oireachtas.ie/documents/bills28/acts/2003/a2...3.pdf or you can google Arts acts 2003. In sections here printed; (functions of the Council). "(Shall) Assist the Minister in the performance of his or her functions under the act and in the implementation of Government policies and objectives in relation to the Arts. When so requested by the Minister" read full story / add a comment |
