The New Schools Guidance on Gender Ideology is a Disgrace Sat Oct 04, 2025 09:00 | Caroline Ffiske
The new schools guidance on gender ideology was published in July, and it's a disgrace, says Caroline Ffiske. It normalises the concept of 'gender reassignment', encouraging children to question their biological sex.

Wes Streeting condemned Nigel Farage as "racist" but also slammed new NHS guidance praising cousin marriage. Doesn't he realise that pushing such 'cultural' ideas is what Reform was warning against, says Steven Tucker.

Did Lucy Letby?s Defence Team Collude in a Guilty Verdict? Fri Oct 03, 2025 17:00 | Guy de la B?doy?re
During Lucy Letby's trial, her defence team failed to call a single expert witness, a decision which the authors of a new book call "inexplicable". Was there covert collusion in a guilty verdict, asks Guy de la B?doy?re.

Michael O'Dea's new poetry collection 'The Sound of Water Searching' for Dublin Launch

O'Dea's first full collection since 2003 is to be launched in Drop Dead Twice on Francs St. on Friday, 25th March at 9.000pm.

Michael O'Dea

Michael O'Dea may be familiar through his blog, Poetry and Miscellaneous Yap, but he has not published a full collection since Turn Your Head (Dedalus Press, 2003). A bilingual chapbook Felos aínda serra was published by Amastra-n-gallar in Galicia, Spain in 2005. This new collection, The Sound of Water Searching is, in his words, the best of the blog which has been in existence since 2007.

"From personal poems that draw on "the emptied out treasure-chests of childhood" to reflections on the work of Elaine Leigh, John Minihan, Mick O'Dea and others, Michael O'Dea is a poet interested in the ways that memory, experience, and meditation inform the life of the poet. The poems gathered in The Sound of Water Searching give voice to his ceaseless commitment to the artistic process: a "beautiful odyssey" that takes us from Dublin to Galicia and beyond." runs the blurb by Philip Coleman of Trinity College Dublin.

The launching will take place in Drop Dead Twice on Dublin's Francis St at 9.00pm, Friday, 25th March. Guest on the night will be poet, playwright Vincent Woods who will launch the collection. The entertainment won't stop there, however, as the event will lead into the popular monthly Upstairs Sessions, a night of performances that, depending on the night, may vary from music to acrobatics, dance to comedy.
