IT seems that Ireland is suffering form collateral damage as a result of three power struggles.

THE Green Party has inflicted huge misery on our people with the introduction of carbon taxes and ESB increases.

IT IS heartening to see that Haiti’s monstrous former dictator, Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier, has failed, thus far at least, in his sleight-of-hand attempt to gain access to the millions of dollars he has stashed away in currently-frozen Swiss bank accounts. Instead, he is facing serious criminal charges in Haiti.

IS IT possible that in a few years we will be celebrating the centenary of 1916 with a “Republican Brotherhood” Government of Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil in control of the country led by a DeValera?

IS THIS what post-feminism means?
