The Iona Institute has said that Ireland will be one of the last countries in Europe to restore public worship. While Ireland plans to keep the ban on public religious ceremonies until July 20th, other European countries are allowing public worship again much sooner. In fact, this country seem to be one of the last to restore […]
There was a time when Youtube and other big tech companies justified their censorship of various opinions and views on the basis that unqualified people really shouldn’t be challenging scientists. That has now been taken a step further: Scientists shouldn’t be challenging science. Dave Cullen, the Youtuber who interviewed Cahill in the first place, is […]
On the one hand, it’s good news that more people will be getting the flu vaccine, full stop, for the simple reason that the more people who are vaccinated, the harder it will be for flu to spread, meaning we’ll have fewer cases of flu overall, even in people who are not vaccinated. On the […]
The fates have clearly conspired to deny Dublin a six-in-a-row. Or have they? Perhaps our focus for a source of the virus ought not to be on Wuhan but Lyrecrompane? You would not be up to them. On a more serious note, it would seem that the GAA inter county season will fall victim to the […]
On Saturday, The Irish Independent carried a sponsored propaganda…scrap that..a sponsored Editorial ’opinion’ piece from the Chinese Ambassador to Ireland. In one sense it is a masterful display of deflection. In quite another, and more pertinent sense it is a nauseating and infuriating piece that has about as much grounding in reality as the view […]
Trouble in, well, not paradise, but certainly trouble in whatever lifeless room the negotiations for a new Government are taking place in: A senior Fianna Fáil negotiator involved in the talks to form a government has accused Fine Gael of selfishness and of putting their party before the country. Barry Cowen made the charge after […]
The ideal situation in any pandemic or catastrophe is that after the fact, the predictive models showing the worst-case scenario should look terrible. That’s actually a great outcome, because it means that either your worst fears were unfounded, or that your response to the crisis was so effective that the worst-case scenario (which could have […]
The reality of surgical abortions are gruesome and barbaric, that is without even entering the ethical debate: that it is wrong to take defenceless human life.
One part of staying safe is staying sane. It’s heartbreaking to see so many good people so badly divided. We don’t know what’s real anymore, or who to trust or what to believe. We seem to be holding onto our own version of reality like our life depends on it. Probably because it does. Maybe, […]
Two things are presently certain: First, that while we might argue about the precise timing and mechanisms of easing the Coronavirus lockdown and getting back to some semblance of normal life, we will, ultimately, end the lockdown and get back to normal life. It’s just a question of timing. A debate about opening the Schools […]
Cahill’s presentation and grasp of the problem would certainly ruffle feathers among those who have put Ireland’s eggs in the WHO’s basket, but, if she is right, it might also serve the deeper purpose of making sure the right people are held to account when the dust settles.
Dr Séamus O’Mahony has emerged as one of the most coherent critics of the role of modern medicine. His book The Way We Die Now was published in 2016. In 2019, he published Can Medicine be Cured? O’Mahony’s critique is particularly relevant in the context of the current pandemic which has witnessed greatly enhanced powers […]
