For several weeks now Ireland has been in a strange place with Coronavirus, wherein the numbers of people with confirmed cases has been consistently creeping up, but the number of people in hospital and intensive care has remained flat, and there have been barely any deaths. This has exposed a real tension at the heart […]
If you’re reading an Irish newspaper or listening to an Irish radio station this morning and wish to get a brief summary of what the latest developments in Brexit mean then you’re almost certainly getting one side of the story, and getting it endlessly. Witness this extraordinary piece of “journalism” from our friends over at […]
In 2019, Ireland’s birth rate fell even further, sliding to the lowest level ever on record according to the Central Statistics Office. That means we’re having far fewer children now than we did when this was a much poorer country, with less resources and supports available to families.

The satirical French magazine, Charlie Hebdo, has republished their now-famous cartoon of Muhammad that caused them to become the victims of a fatal Islamic terrorist attack back in 2015. The decision to republish the cartoon came the day before a major trial in France involving 14 alleged accomplices to the killers, who are believed to […]
Jessica Krug, is her name, and she’s spent basically her whole adult life pretending to be a black woman when, in fact, she was just, well, overly fond of the old sun-beds. Here’s her apology, which to be honest, is much more entertaining than the story itself: To an escalating degree over my adult life, […]
