Is it an optical illusion? Is it conservative Irish Times staff subconsciously misrepresenting public opinion on the use of Shannon for the Iraq war? It's a conspiracy theorists' dream.... It has to be seen to be believed... And the most bizarre part is that The Irish Times isn't going to do anything about it. read full story / add a comment

There are five “official” nuclear-weapon states in this world - the US, the UK, Russia, France and China - that are permitted to possess nuclear weapons under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (the NPT) [1]. The US is currently proposing that India be granted the privileges of these “official” nuclear-weapon states, even though it has refused to sign the NPT and has developed nuclear weapons. In effect, the US is proposing that India be recognised as the 6th nuclear-weapon state in this world, while remaining outside the NPT. Ireland is in a position to stop this happening. read full story / add a comment

Despite, predictions to the contrary, elections in the wee north continue to be pretty much a sectarian headcount. The predictions of an SDLP revival, on one side, and a grassroots republican revolt, on the other, both turned out to be wishful thinking as Sinn Fein and the DUP continued their growth among the respective sides of the sectarian divide. The prediction of an increased turnout (which was repeated right until the end of counting) also turned out to be a figment. read full story / add a comment

Fresh from smearing Manus O'Riordan, Eoghan Harris turned his ire on RTE's Tom McGurk – links below. In his Sunday Independent column on March 5th Ireland's mud thrower in chief says that it "behoves McGurk to be balanced". "Failing that, he should be fair", Harris continued. McGurks’s failing? He criticised the Sunday Independent. Also, McGurk was accused of going on the Buntollet Commemoration march of January 1969, the one that exposed the viciously sectarian nature of the RUC and of the northern state. The young protester’s heads were cracked open by the RUC and by their allies in the B Specials. The images received world wide publicity. Some people have long and bitter memories that perpetually fuel their rancid politics. read full story / add a comment |
