These days G is a busy man. Meeting him at his house, I see that he has converted his bedroom into a pseudo-office, full of computers and court documents, which he is currently transferring onto his newly launched website. He tells me that he has been working long hours recently on the website, but it seems clear that his enthusiasm and energy haven’t tired. G is a man with a mission and seems about ready to pick up where he left off in his own personal campaign for justice against the state and county law makers of California. read full story / add a comment

Is a cosy consensus the same thing as the rule of law? How are politicians or judges prevented from mucking about with the law, introducing bad law, administering the law in a partial or unfair way? Does the system require more checks and balances? Is obscurity and obfuscation the order of the day? Are we taking the modh direach to a lawless and capricious Alice-In-Wonderland world? read full story / add a comment

On Saturday, the 13th of May 2006, the day of the Full Moon of Beltine, the Opus Dei Lismullin Institute charged E50 to hear an all day talk about Opus Dei's plans for our Celtic Heritage. Opus Dei's Lismullin Institute in the high valley of the Royal City of Celtic Tara (supported by the state funded Heritage Council) managed to keep everyone silent about the 'problem'. No one was allowed to mention the 'M' word (M3 dual toll road motorway) as there was a dictate (in their promotion) that - "The cut off at 2000 AD is chosen to exclude discussion of the proposed route of the M3 Motorway and to leave more time for learning about the history and traditions associated with the Valley". Those who force this toll road have an agenda that restricts free speech. read full story / add a comment

Edain Echraidhe is her Gaelic name; her home is the high valley between the hills of Tara and Skryne in the Royal City of Celtic Ireland. This high valley holds a sacred stream called the Gabhra (pronounced gow-ra), which means the white mare. The Gabhra Valley was free range for the White Mare of our Celtic ancestors who came from northern Spain. In Cymru (Wales), she is called Rhiannon, and the Celts of Gaul (France) called her Epona and in a chalk hill in Oxford (England) many people today say that the giant image of the Uffington Horse is a Celtic Horse Goddess. read full story / add a comment

30 years after the deaths of De Valera & Franco the difference between Spain & Ireland's social & gender debate could not be starker. Today as the Spanish Cabinet approved yet another of their election manifesto promises of 2004 to "enact equality of gender identification legislation", The Irish Legislature found itself discussing the legalities of a 60 year old man engaging in oral sex with a 15 year old boy. What was in one state simply another move at Cabinet Executive level to correct intolerable wrongs of the past counterpointed an Emergency Session of the Legislature in the other state to patch yet another hole in the 1937 constitution left to the majority of Irish people by De Valera. read full story / add a comment

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. The BBC’s Countryfile programme tomorrow is highlighting the importance of maintaining limestone pavement as a unique natural habitat. Speaking in an interview from the Burren on the programme, Friends of the Irish Environment’s Tony Lowes explained that ‘The European Commission has just entered a case against Ireland in the European Court of Justice for its failure to control quarrying. The developers are actually quarrying and then looking for permission and of course this is the wrong way, you're supposed to assess your impact before you start." read full story / add a comment

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

The call for somebodys head to fall has always been the response of people to a national concern which seems to provide us with the satisfaction that we have rid ourselves of the cancer that caused the problem in the first place. 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
