It might be all over bar the shouting for Prof Honohan
It might be all over bar the shouting for Prof Honohan

WHAT would you shout at Enda Kenny, if you had the chance?

The timidity of our conformist TDs is truly unspeakable
The timidity of our conformist TDs is truly unspeakable

WHAT is the point of speaking rights if you have nothing to say? The docile Dáil was all a-buzz at the news that booted-out Blueshirts and unloved-Labourites will actually be heard in the chamber to which they were elected.

You can bank on the money-men protecting themselves
You can bank on the money-men protecting themselves

Enda in the driver’s seat at expensive Coalition Cabs
Enda in the driver’s seat at expensive Coalition Cabs

Gilmore mouths off in China but fault’s closer to home

IN a twist on the old cliché of a bull in a china shop, Eamon Gilmore has been talking bull in a ‘shop’ in China.

Sat, 03 Aug, 2013

Dáil bar reform would be a worthwhile first step

TDs are to be banned from drinking and driving through legislation — maybe.

Sat, 27 Jul, 2013

The fate of this country is in the lap of the gods now
The fate of this country is in the lap of the gods now

THIS column might never reach your eyes. Ireland will surely have fallen off its axis, now that the X case legislation has passed the Dáil.

Lucinda alone as Enda reels in rebels
Lucinda alone as Enda reels in rebels

Though hardly at his most eloquent, Enda Kenny still spoke for most TDs when he declared: “I am going to get rid of it this evening.”
