offsite link It?s Not ?CSE?. It?s Child Rape Tue May 13, 2025 17:30 | Joanna Gray
It's not 'CSE'. It's child rape, says Joanna Gray. Enough with the sterile acronyms that seem designed to conceal the horror. Enough of the "bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language" (Wittgenstein).

It's going to take more than a Supreme Court judgment to flush gender pseudoscience out of the NHS, says Caroline Ffiske. In every policy and definition the NHS has dropped biological sex in favour of subjective feelings.

Negating The DCC Poster Ban

They Drove US To Illegality

The Dublin City Council are enforcing an illegal poster ban which silences all small non-profit, non-corporate groups - political or otherwise.
Print your design onto a piece of card

Legally we are allowed leave posters on poles for 7days and then remove them. The city council continues to remove our posters so to organise for Baldonnel we are forced to stencil. Lift the ban and we'll stop leaving a permanent mark on the walls of our beautiful city.

Why use "Éire" instead of Ireland?

The word "Éire" has been traditionally used to describe the 26 counties of Ireland, as a way for English people (usually) to talk about Ireland without mentioning the word Republic.

Is the protest to express opposition to all war, in the sense that pacifists oppose all wars? If so, why single out the United States Army's use of Baldonnell and Shannon?

One might ask why one would have a problem with the presence of US troops in the 26 counties, and not express any criticism of the presence of thousands of British troops in the 6 counties?

Does this bring us back to question 1?

The word EIRE is shorter, less letters to cut out, don't read so much into everything.

According to the 1937 constitution. There hasn't been a referendum on name change since then (which is what would be needed to change it). The 1948 Republic of Ireland Act only says that "the description of the State shall be the Republic of Ireland", not that the name is "Republic of Ireland".

Look at any official government document e.g. a passport "An tAontas Eorpach, European Union, Éire, Ireland"
