LASTMarch, at the annual poodle show in the White House, the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern stood proudly beside the American president and purred. "The world acknowledges the United States, with its immense power, and its status as a beacon of justice and liberty, as a leader with the United Nations, " Ahern said, his little tail wagging like a dachshund just rescued from a puppy farm. read full story / add a comment

Before coming to Ireland, I was warned not to have any romantic notions about the ‘Emerald Isle’. My Irish friend had travelled to my home country of Canada and was aware that many Canadians, especially those of Irish ancestry, have notions of Ireland that are based on commercial hype about leprechauns and beer and on the nostalgic laments of The Chieftains and the Irish Tenors about rolling hills and a glorious past. He cautioned that Ireland was changing and that the nation is manifesting the most unfortunate symptoms of economic success. I shrugged off the warning because my hopes for Ireland went much further than commercial stereotypes and, admittedly, because I really wanted to believe. After all, I endured eighteen years in a North American suburb. read full story / add a comment

I am posting a piece below on Patricks Day that I wrote a couple of years ago. It tries to give an idea of the contradiction between remembering and missing my home and at the same time having to seperate myself from the form that the celebration of March 17th takes in Chicago. read full story / add a comment

In the corner of the screeb of every national TV channel in Spain. In the corner of every local cable TV station in Spain. On the banner of most national newspapers. On the doors of many shops, retail chains, ministry of culture, museums, libraries. In madrid the route of the concentration was overlooked by black ribbons hanging from the tower blocks. read full story / add a comment

Blair's support for random drugs tests in schools is just insane. It should provoke any sensible person to demand random drugs tests for the cabinet. Only someone out their face on drugs could make the decisions Blair's government has made. read full story / add a comment

On International Women's Day, it is worth reminding ourselves of the dedication of those Irish women who struggled for the women's right to vote in the early 20th century. Sometimes one gets the impression that the vote was gained through nothing more than polite lobbying. Not the case, as the following excerpt from Maria Luddy's short biography of Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1995) shows. These women went to jail while fighting for a basic right, and today a number of women (Deirdre Clancy, Nuin Dunlop, Karen Fallon and Mary Kelly) are facing jail sentences for similar actions, taken while protesting against an immoral and unjust war. These women stand in a proud tradition of civil disobedience against injustice. read full story / add a comment

It has long been observed that the mass on their non banking days readily absorb shite. This is why coups are most successful on the weekend, and elections as well. It is on your non-banking days that you are presented with the most filagree woven tissues of spirit and lie, ghost and truth. It is through weekend that we have considerable space in your head. read full story / add a comment

At a recent debate on education held in The Fairways Hotel attended by a few hundred teachers and parents, et al - including Minister for Education, Noel Dempsey, the function of teachers as role models received heavy emphasis. In particular some of the teacher/speakers (men) seemed to think they were of vital importance as role models for young boys. read full story / add a comment
