For many people in Ireland, these are tough times. Businesses are in danger of bankruptcy. School students face uncertainty, and teachers are struggling to teach through restrictions. Many people are entering their sixth or seventh month since being able to see, or hug, elderly loved ones. Christmas itself, we hear, may now be imperilled. So, […]
Despite her serial twitter feed attacking Trump and supporting Biden and her hagiography of the loathsome Nancy Pelosi, I thought that Susan Page was a reasonably fair moderator for the Pence/Harris debate. She did frame one question in terms of Trump providing “misleading information” regarding his recent health and a gratuitous and immoderate reference to […]
A Limerick doctor, Patrick Morrisey, has become the latest medic to lose a job for disagreeing with the Government’s official line on Covid. Dr. Morrissey attended the health freedom Ireland/yellow vest protest in Dublin at the weekend, where he delivered a strong criticism of various aspects of the Government’s approach. A few days later, he […]
Let me just lay my cards on the table straight away; the absence of leadership, and the utter failure of the Catholic Bishops to collectively challenge the restrictions on public worship in this state has been, at best, a mystery and at worst an absolute scandal. Nowhere in Europe have we seen such unreflective capitulation […]
Bad news for people like me, who live in Tipperary but do the shopping in Limerick. Oh well. Looks like Nenagh’s Lidl is getting at least one new customer: Justice Minister @HMcEntee says if level three or four is implemented she would like to see movement outside people's county become a "penal offence" @RTENewsAtOne — […]
Absolute nonsense. But, probably popular nonsense. And it’s a Sinn Fein bill, so sheer, mindless, partisanship will mean that at least thirty per cent of the population will decide that it’s a great idea, just because it came from their team, even though it’s one of the most terrible ideas imaginable. Why? More on that […]
The policy of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) of eradicating cultural, religious, and linguistic identities is systematic and derives from Xi Jinping’s reflections on the fall of the Soviet Union. Bitter Winter, the magazine on religious liberty and human rights in China, has documented in the last few weeks the escalation of the cultural genocide in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Inner […]

Suicide is a problem in Ireland. It is one not often spoken of. It is rarely reported in explicit terms that someone has died of suicide, but we learn to read between the lines in the news reports. It is one issue where this is no divide between left and right, progressive or conservative. Everyone […]
Lockdowns – at every level – have real consequences, and one of those consequences is that hundreds of thousands of people have been living on a subsistence payment since March. You’d have to wonder how many of the TDs, or NPHET reps, or over-paid RTÉ hosts, would be so stridently in favour of keeping the country and […]
Dr Martin Feeley was sacked by the HSE despite a lifetime of service to healthcare, an achievement previously recognised in his appointment as clinical director of the HSE’s Dublin Midlands Health Group. His offence was to state that, in his medical opinion, for most people Covid-19 was no worse than the flu, and that the […]
The average American Republican who does not subscribe to European, progressive, green-tinted views on climate change has a number of stock arguments. The science, they’ll say, is inexact, and far from settled. Projections of doom in a few years’ time are worst case scenarios. Even if the carbon levels in the atmosphere could be reversed, […]
