If you happen to have been reading, oh, literally any other Irish media outlet, except perhaps the Sunday Times, over the last week, you will have encountered one perspective, and one only, on the question of footballers “taking the knee” before the kick-off of their European Championship matches. It is, you have been endlessly told, […]
On Friday afternoon, the news broke that Stobart Air, the regional operator responsible for many flights between Ireland and the UK, was going out of business, becoming the highest profile business casualty of the pandemic to date. Naturally, opposition politicians took to the airwaves to blame the Government for not providing enough “supports” for the […]
We are now a week into sustained media coverage of the fake polling practices conducted by all of the major political parties in the State. Some, like my colleague John McGuirk, have argued that the story is being blown out of all proportion, that it is otherwise inconsequential and is only continuing because of a […]
The real debate about Ireland’s dysfunctional housing market is not about the problem but rather about how to fix it. The prevailing view seems to be that the underlying problem exists because there isn’t enough interference in the housing market. Accordingly, the only way to fix Ireland’s dysfunctional housing market is through even more government […]
Jonathon Van Maren interviews Danish journalist Iben Thranholm about the revival of Christianity and traditional values in Russia, the growing secularism and wokeism in the West, and the ramifications of the coronavirus pandemic and lockdowns.

An ideological ‘purge’ is underway in American medicine.” These are the words of Katie Herzog, who penned two bombshell exposés last week about the gangrenous spread of wokeness in America’s medical industry. She published them at the Substack account of Bari Weiss — […]

It was pointed out by the CEO of one company, Inovex Downhole Solutions, that North Face’s garments […]
The defector reportedly has intimate knowledge of the Chinese development of bioweaponry.
Thank God for Mary McAleese. It was shaping up to be a fairly slow news day today, ad we were sitting around scratching our heads wondering if anything at all would pop up that was slightly interesting, and worth writing about. Thankfully, Mrs. McAleese has come through to save the day by saying something immeasurably […]
The Irish media is presently gorging itself on the revelation that for a number of years, at least four Irish political parties (and probably more) asked volunteers to pose as fake polling companies in order to go door to door and conduct market research. First, we learned that Sinn Fein did it. And then, because […]
One of the rather more desperate attempts by Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil to recoup lost ground to Sinn Féin has been to focus on the latter party’s apparent track record in voting against proposals to build housing developments. Sinn Féin has indeed pursued inconsistent policies, as we shall see, but the political reality is […]
The number of abortions being carried out on women in England and Waled continues to increase, with 209,917 abortions performed in 2020 – the highest number on record, according to new figures from the Department of Health.
