Kanye West for President? Come off it. There’s no way they’re going to elect a loudmouthed celebrity with a big twitter following and no prior political experience, is there? They can’t? Can they? Yes they Kanye. https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1279575273365594112 The single biggest thing going against him, believe it or not, isn’t that he’s a pop star with […]
It is not hard to see why supporters of the Children’s Minister, Roderic O’Gorman, might feel aggrieved by the controversy swirling around him online. From their point of view, this is an open-and-shut case: The now Minister appeared in a photograph, at Dublin Pride, in 2018, with UK campaigner Peter Tatchell. After his appointment, that […]
Here are the restrictions on travel from Ireland into the UK, with a UK-Government required 14-day quarantine period if you fly from Dublin to London. Notice anything? And here are the equivalent restrictions if you fly from the UK into Ireland: One thing to note here, in fairness: In the case of Ireland, self-isolation seems […]
This basically comes down to a question of who you believe: Sinn Fein? Or your lying eyes? “Sinn Fein”, will come the answer from lots of you who believe the party can do no wrong.

Confession: When yours truly woke up this morning, it was not my intention to write not one, but two stories about paedophilia in the one day. It’s a messed up world, folks.

Just when we thought we had Coronavirus over us, we’re now facing the prospect of mass protests in Limerick: and grossly insulted. There are 3 Government TDs out of 4 in Limerick City, yet Micheál Martin has felt it appropriate to insult all the people of Limerick City with this decision. It's strange if he […]
Former Love/Hate Star John Connors tweeted a question yesterday which, on the face of it, would leave you scratching your head. The new minister for children idolises who, exactly? https://twitter.com/johnconnors1990/status/1278284142757785600 The gentleman in question is Peter Tatchell, a colourful character, who has been an LGBT rights activist in the UK since the early 1980s, and […]
A great scoop in the independent by privacy reporter Ken Foxe: Details of the lump sums, pensions and termination pay for individual TDs and senators will no longer be made public following a decision by Oireachtas authorities.

Fine Gael headquarters secretly recorded the serial numbers printed on ballots provided to its TDs, Senators, and MEPs who were casting votes on the programme for Government, Gript can reveal. While FG members were under the impression that the vote on the programme for Government would be decided by secret ballot, the party’s head office […]
All of the caveats must apply, obviously, to polls, and the biggest and most important one when it comes to President Trump is that if you believed the evidence of the polling in 2016, as yours truly did, then you’d have been shocked by the result (as yours truly, and many others, were). But still: […]
Clever: Sinn Féin has proposed giving every adult and child a government funded gift voucher to spend in pubs, restaurants and hotels to kick-start the tourism industry. Under the €1bn scheme every adult would be given a €200 voucher and every child would get €100 to spend in local businesses that sign up to the […]
