Starmer is perversely determined that Israeli football fans will attend their team's match in Birmingham, even though the area is now 70% Muslim and mini-Israel-Gaza violence is a serious danger, says Laurie Wastell.

A windless week exposes that the UK is now totally dependent on importing electricity at times of stress. This is hardly the 'energy security' that Ed Miliband continually warbles on about, says Paul Homewood.

Will Samuel Williams be charged after calling for 'Zionists' to be killed? It depends whether the law deems 'Zionists' to be a racial group, says Nick Rendell ? as it did with 'migrants' in the Lucy Connolly case.

It is time for Burke to confess

category national | crime and justice | opinion/analysis author Saturday January 17, 2009 16:20author by Jim Bean Report this post to the editors

And give back the money he took from Shell.
Ray Burke
Ray Burke

Ray Burke must confess now as his health is deteriorating, fast.

He should give back the money he took from Shell, admit his guilt and let the people of Ireland have their proper share from the Corrib Gas Field.

Ireland needs that money from the gas field now as the Celtic tiger is dead.

The deal made by Ray Burke, which exempted the oil company Royal Dutch Shell from paying any royalties for the gas extracted from the Corrib Gas Field, has all the hallmarks of a corrupt decision.

Burke has admitted, in private, that he sold the exemption to Shell and that this was common practice by all ministers at that time.

He said “all the ministers, including the Taoisigh Haughey, were at it.”

This exemption should now be looked at again by the Irish government since the economic situstion in Ireland is so bad and Burke sold the gas exemption for a pittance.

Otherwise the Government, as part of their look at the economy for savings, must atke action against Shell.
