There’s nothing we can’t do if we do it together — and that’s no cliché

A RANGE of experiences this past weekend began to make me wonder if there is something different going on in Ireland.

Tue, 24 May, 2011

Promise of the Proclamation can help us to right wrongs of our lost decade

ON SUNDAY I was at a ceremony in Arbour Hill commemorating James Connolly, a man who believed with all his heart that a free country had to exist for a free people. It was a moving ceremony, with a fine speech by Eamon Gilmore.

Tue, 17 May, 2011

We look forward to seeing you Ma’am, we need some cheering up

YOUR Majesty, Before I get on to saying that you’re welcome, I should probably admit that I did a bit of research into the proper mode of address for an open letter to the British queen.

Tue, 10 May, 2011

Yes, we should celebrate the death of Osama Bin Laden

I REMEMBER travelling through Northern Ireland, indeed passing through the town of Omagh, on the national day of mourning held in Ireland in the wake of 9/11.

Tue, 03 May, 2011

Selling off state assets would be the height of national folly
HE’S a cute fellow, that Colm McCarthy.

Still a champion of people with intellectual disabilities after 50 years

INCLUSION Ireland is 50 years old this year.

Religious orders must keep their moral and financial commitments

ISN’T that some legacy the government inherited?

Tue, 12 Apr, 2011

We need to invest in improving children’s lives, not monster prisons

IT’S clear already, isn’t it, that it’s going to take quite a while to change the big things.

Tue, 05 Apr, 2011

Yellow-pack pay means we’ll have to settle for a yellow-pack public service

IT seems there is a problem with public service pay.

Tue, 29 Mar, 2011

Until we change the Constitution, we are failing to protect our children

DID the Archbishop of Dublin throw down the gauntlet to the Government last week?
