“We the undersigned 50 Primary school principals condemn and refuse to partake in the Irish Independent’s “Building for the Future” scheme being launched this week.

Independent Newspapers while posturing as benefactors are, in reality, seeking to exploit schools, boost sales and make life uncomfortable for children whose parents do not buy the sponsors newspapers. Further Information: Joseph Fogarty, (Contact Details Above) or your nearest participating school below. read full story / add a comment

On the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. - (UDHR) I quote Oscar wilde more than all the others; he more than anyone would have appreciated this charter . It is just that it is not binding .it is not a law. It is aspirational ; but it is inspirational . You don’t need to read it through. The language is turgid in places. Its meant to endure . After 60 years the wording may seem esoteric .but if you re read it , ask yourself ; how else could this be written to relate to all society. I believe it is written for all the children of the womb of the Universe . But , I will confess that I quote Oscar not only because he is one of the most quoted people in the history of English language . read full story / add a comment
