It’s that time of year again folks. Yep, it’s budget time. But this year is a little different due to the upcoming elections scheduled for this summer. Brian Cowen has got his Santa Claus costume on again and he’s going to open his magic sack and give us what we all want for crimbo.

This, despite the fact that Bertie has been up to his eyes in crap all year. No surprise I suppose, and from what I make of it they’ll be back in again next term with Labour. Sure with their sluttish ways, it’s quite obvious that if they’re so willing to get into bed with the Blueshirts, they’d jump into the leaba with anybody (i.e. Fianna Fail) and to hell with the “working man” they claim to stand for……but that’s another story….. ... read full story / add a comment

When a government turns the police on the people...when they say the people are provos....when people are kicked, battered, batoned and hospitalised...when it takes place on an international memorial day...when this is about building one of Europe's biggest gas refineries on a remote bog...when the plot is thick with court cases, compulsory orders, jailings, investigations and protests..when billions of Euros of natural gas are at stake...when the future of the planning process, of natural resource ownership and the remains of Irish democracy hang in the balance..... ... read full story / add a comment

A five judge panel yesterday returned a two year old child to her natural parents after an appeal which saw the child's removal from the couple whom had adopted her from the age of three months.

Voters should seek to have this placed on the issues list for the upcoming general election. ... read full story / add a comment

Dear Tanaiste and Minister for Justice, It is manifestly clear to me as a constituent in the Rathmines area that your failure to grasp the issues of community opposition to the high pressure gas pipeline in Rossport, coupled with your failure to 'Watchdog this Corrupt Fianna Fail Administration' even as you climbed a lampost in Ranelagh, to underscore your desire to end corrupt practice is a sham performance. ... read full story / add a comment
