The best speech in the house of eunuchs, otherwise known as the Dail was that given by Joe Higgins who alluded to the Poodles pissing against the lamp-posts in Dublin 6W upon which Minister Mc Dowell was hanging his posters. So we are into another election. therefore we can rest and enjoy the party. it is the only time when the TD's get down and dirty with the voters to justify a few more years lining the pockets and briefcases of their nearest and dearest. read full story / add a comment

United Press International distributed the story below. The link will presumably disappear when they realise what they've reported is a mish mash of real and imagined stories. It's interesting to see what they think is believable. When Bertie shows up in Washington every year, do they have a clear idea of who he is? Do they know where Ireland is? More importantly, is our news about the rest of the world so unreliable? (In other news, the President of Scotland announced that the French elections can be cancelled if the Socialist party don't agree to support the bin tax, say sources in Baghdad...) read full story / add a comment

international / anti-war / imperialism / news report Saturday April 28, 2007 23:24 by Edward Horgan
Saturday 28 April 2007 was a quiet day at Shannon. Relatively few civilian passengers going through (most civilian customers of Shannon have been attracted to Dublin airport over the past few years). The US military are once again increasing their use or abuse of Shannon airport, in a supposedly neutral state. Three US warplanes were present at Shannon, one North American US troop carrier, one US military executive jet, which could be carrying anyone from a US general guilty of war crimes in Iraq or Afghanistan or prisoners for torture to or from Guantanamo. Now is the time to make Ireland's complicity in crimes against humanity an election issue. read full story / add a comment

Meanwhile, the world has been waking up to the struggle - with the award of 125,000 euros to Willie Corduff and Al Jazeera sent a film crew to spend several days investigating the matter. Their documentary is due to be screened tonight and for the next three days on Al Jazeera English. read full story / add a comment
international / arts and media / news report Friday April 27, 2007 13:30 by obit
The death of Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich the world famed cellist hsa been reported. He was 80 years of age. With his passing the age of great cellists ends. It is odd that this week the world has turned to writing obituaries of Boris Yeltsin and recalling the foiled coup d'etat attempt which brought Yeltsin to prominence. But many will not know that Rostropovich known as Slava to his students, admirers and friends was one of the key figures within Moscow's government buildings who inspired Yeltsin to climb up on the tank. If Slava had climbed up on the tank - things would have been different. He was a master who knew that. May he rest in Peace. read full story / add a comment

It's always worth keeping an eye on what is happening in government departments during the dying days of an administration. Minister Noel Dempsey has promised a number of times to review the terms under which licences are awarded, but to date, nothing has been announced. But sharp-eyed visitors to the Department of Marine website will have noticed that there was a slight change today. read full story / add a comment
