Unfortunately, the editor seems happy to continue the tradition, as evidenced by the front page of the edition in which Kerrigan’s article appeared. ... read full story / add a comment

Mc Dowell wanted us to ponder this :-
"Probably the most important one is that the United Nations high commissioner's representative in Ireland and his predecessor have both pointed to the fact that the Irish system is one of the best in Europe and that it's a good and fair one and that it's transparent, that it's subject to judicial review."

Most of us of course disagree. But one word of Mc Dowell's statement made last week & republished again in today's Irish Times screams out for more attention :-
"Transparent".

On Saturday we witnessed one of Ireland’s first organised racist counter demonstrations. The demonstrators while being made up of what can only be described as very disenfranchised poor who were joined in the evenings by an assortment of drunks. But there was at least on Saturday afternoon a number of ordinary working class residents who were angered at the attention being drawn to the refugees, while their local area suffered huge social problems. ... read full story / add a comment

Coming To Grief by Hans Johnson
Like the breeze of late winter, a single word,
unspoken, has rippled through the recent funerals of several
US service members returned from Iraq.
Families and military presss officers have different reasons for
tight lips on the topic. But Suicide among Iraq soldiers, 29 soldiers by recent count,
says volumes about drooping morale and raises further doubts about how accurately the toll on service members is being measured and how much more they will bear'

We all are delicate human beings...........bureaucracy can always be sorted out......life cannot be given back. ... read full story / add a comment

( Note ; with Danish journalist Erik Pedersen I went to Michael’s house in Glasnevin a few months ago to conduct an interview about volunteers of the International Brigades for Danish radio. Despite his advanced years, a sprightly man brimming with wit and stories spoke to us for several hours. Characteristically he didn’t talk much about himself or his own endevours in Spain ( he is reported to have been a brave and fearless machine gunner in the battlefield, according to other sources ), instead concentrating on the politics of the situation and on remembering those who fell. History walks with us, and listening to Mr O Riordan reminisce about the heroic struggle waged against the fascist threat in the 1930’s reveals how many of the issues confronted then remain urgent today.
Parts of the interview are unclear, and the brackets are mine, Ramor ) ... read full story / add a comment
