Gewerkschaftler suggested this a while back and it’s as good an idea now as it was then. Whatever else those of us on the left need some hope, need some tangible achievements to hold on to, something that gives a sense of how things can be made better: ?I suggest this blog should have a […]

An unusually forthright piece in the Irish Times recently from Paddy Woodworth who notes that Britain is unlikely to ever hold those from its military, police or security services to account for the use of illegal violence in Northern Ireland.  Its most damning finding is that ?murders committed by [British] agents? include ?cases in which […]

Arrests in the case of the suspected arson attack on the hotel in Rosscahill in Galway this week. Trouble in Coolock. Curious though some of the Garda statements on the latter. Gardaí confirmed officers attended a protest at the premises on Sunday afternoon. The Malahide Road was temporarily closed due to the demonstration but later […]

But who is listening? Unfortunate timing for the Labour Party this last weekend with a conference which was overshadowed first by the resignation of Leo Varadkar and then by the accession of Simon Harris. As RTÉ noted: With the spotlight firmly focused on the drama of a different political party in recent days, Labour’s annual […]

What to make of them? Ireland Thinks/Sunday Independent had one, RedC/Business Post the other. As RTÉ noted with regard to the latter: The Business Post Red C poll puts the party at 25%, down from 28%. Support for Fine Gael was down one point at 19%, although the survey was conducted before Leo Varadkar resigned […]

From Tomás Ó Flatharta, a useful analysis by Diane O’Dwyer which asks: “The far right and conservative Catholics claimed credit for the outcome but so have progressive disability rights and carers? activists. So who is right? Was this a victory for reactionary or progressive ideas, or is the truth more complicated?”

Oddly enough, Pat Leahy had a good point in an Irish Times Politics podcast recently when he suggested that this government did not appear to have a clear process for ending its term in office. Leahy noted that partners in government would be competing electorally ? Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil in particular, fishing in […]

I wonder is the government glad it didn’t bundle the upcoming patent referendum in with the other two it just lost. Or sorry that it didn’t hold it earlier. On paper this seems like a fairly uncontentious exercise. The UPC is an international court which opened in June of last year. Its central court is […]

On Sunday, March 24th last , anti-immigrant protesters from around Dublin, and outside the county, gathered at Coolock to protest against the apparent plans of the government to house IP applicants at the former Crown Paints warehouse on the Malahide Road. Mobilised primarily on social media platforms, they were joined by concerned local residents and […]
