It’s wonderful to see that the people of Ireland have finally woken from their slumber. 

I was upset reading the petty attack on the water protests by Victoria White, the wife of Green Party leader, Eamon Ryan.

If politicians don’t pay for their water charges... how are they going to wash their hands of this mess they got us into?

This morning according to nasdaq.com. Brent oil is now $82 a barrel, down 30% since June. Why are consumers still paying the same prices for oil, gas and solid fuel?

In response to my letter on Gaza and the necessity to end Israel’s impunity for its crimes against the Palestinian people, Ciarán Ó Raghallaigh writes a confused reply seeming to ascribe responsibility for obstacles to the rebuilding to Hamas rather than to Israel’s siege.

The Government says Irish Water has to be a non-state, independent entity. Why? 

“The way the Irish have played this is very clever, they have got everyone to pull together,” So said Ms Cristine Lagarde, head of the International Monetary Fund in an interview with the Financial Times last month.

In a country which is the envy of most European countries with over 3,000 miles of clear ocean to the west and the annual washing of weather systems from the west, we have still managed to pollute our surface and ground water since the 1950s.

The duplicity of the government knows no bounds. Enda Kenny has ‘ruled out’ a referendum on the issue of Irish Water.

I have been listening to the pronouncements of ministers and I have concluded that the sooner this circus, Irish Water, is dispatched the better for everyone.
