The European Commission has lodged proceedings against Ireland with the European Court of Justice for its failure to assess and control unauthorised quarrying and similar activities. The proceedings follow a Letter of Formal Notice and a Reasoned Opinion sent by the Commission to Ireland over the past three years.

Debate on Criminal Law(sexual offences ) Bill 2006. Democracy -Lite. Three opposition parties welcomed Mc Dowell's Bill, with reservations. Enda didn't broach the subject of resignation, but told Michael that "he Knew what he should do"..... Section 5 is an absurdity, according to Labour as it is not gender neutral and is open to constituional challenge by young men, not to mention the ever increasing discussion on sexual positions that peppered the chamber, that led to the departure of the rather more faint-hearted TDs, including most of the Front Bench. read full story / add a comment

Is it time as a nation we grew up and realised that we as the electorate are the ones responsible for the problems in society we see today? read full story / add a comment |
