In what amounts to an extraordinary display of boastful arrogance, Time magazine last week published a long piece revealing how the Democrats beat Trump. To ensure Biden’s victory, the magazine explained that – and this is a real quote – “there was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes”, one that built an alliance which “got […]
Amidst all of the touchy-feely mainstream news media tributes to the different branches of the public service in this Time of the Virus, it would seem that some find it difficult to abandon old ways. While the Gardaí have attracted mixed reviews for their Dancing Against the Pandemic – as opposed to their removing people […]
Last week it was announced that Google had been given the green light to proceed with their plan to create a “new urban centre” as part of their €300 million development at the former Boland’s Mill site on the south Dublin docks.

On Friday last, January 29, the Comhairle Dáil Ceantair (CDC) for Fianna Fáil in East Meath, held a special meeting at which it decided to suspend the Public Relations Officer, John Kierans for stating that he had put a motion down for the next ordinary meeting of the CDC regarding the Covid panic.

The decidedly unWoke American socialist Upton Sinclair once declared: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.” Sinclair wrote scathingly about conditions in the Chicago slaughterhouses of the early 20th century.

No doubt Bruce Springsteen the great union man is busy as we speak penning a ballad of outrage at the closing down of the Keystone XL pipeline that would have taken oil from Alberta in Canada to the Texas Gulf. It was one of those things Biden had been nailed on during his TV debates […]
As reported here a week ago, not only were work permits being issued to people coming from outside of the EU, but a large number had arrived in the first weeks of January from Brazil. Yes, from the country with the “deadly new strain” of the Covid virus. And as sure as night follows day, […]
Wexford Sinn Féin TD Johnny Mythen has become the latest of that party’s representatives to become the target of the Woke. His crime? Well, did he not have the temerity to ask the Tánaiste Leo Varadkar yesterday how many of the new jobs to be created by an offshore wind factory will go to Irish […]
On Friday last, January 15, Dublin City Council announced the closing of the public consultation on the proposed pedestrianization of the east end of Dame Street as part of a projected College Green Plaza.

In 2020 up to the end of November, there were 15,295 work permits issued to non EU nationals. The total for the previous year including renewals was 16,380. It is quite likely then, given the numbers who have arrived since Christmas from Brazil that the total of permits granted last year was very similar to, […]
The controversial – some would say deeply suspicious – World Economic Forum which readers may be familiar with as the promoter of the “Great Reset” which would entail the radical overhauling of the global economic system, continues to pump up the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative. The BRI is a massive programme of investment which was […]
