Rarely has a news story been more perfectly calibrated to appeal to the various prejudices of Ireland’s media class than the news this weekend that two young women had absconded from their mandatory appointments with two-week detention, having returned from Dubai, where they had gone to have cosmetic surgery. The women in question, we are […]
Fr. PJ Hughes was fined 500 euro and threatened with arrest for saying Mass to a handful of parishioners in Co. Cavan yet in Knock, over the Easter weekend, a greater number were present in the Basilica for the Good Friday solemnities yet there was no word from the Gardai. The presence of RTÉ transforms […]
Looking back on the last few NPHET pressers and Taoiseach Micheál Martin’s message to the nation last night (March 30), the reckless embrace of societal paralysis prompts a lot of head scratching. When you aren’t ruled by fear of an endemic virus which has pretty low mortality for all but a select cohort, the absence […]
Aontú Leader Peadar Tóibín has said that “deep frustration” is building in communities, after the government pushed back reopening the country once again.

For some time now, there’s been an ongoing outbreak of baited breath in legal and religious circles as the public try to decipher whether the Irish Government has adopted the policies of Elizabethan England (Popery firmly discouraged) as regards to the holding of masses in Ireland or whether it had gone a step further and […]
Deaths from heart attacks deaths triple, and cancer deaths are predicted to rise over the next ten years. Yet the lockdowns continue, and the data is ignored. It seems that the main function of the Irish government is to inflate the fear. The latest from our patronising Tánaiste is that we might have to get […]
The recent rise in Covid cases in Ireland has nothing whatsoever to do, according to NPHET, with the decision to open schools in Ireland. No. It is instead a result of an increase in household visits, according to the State’s Covid Czars: A doubling in the amount of inter-household visiting since the start of February […]
This is a new one on me, to be honest. I wasn’t aware Cardinals got a salary, as such, and certainly not anything this generous. If this Gript thing doesn’t work out, that’s my next career move, for sure: VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis has ordered cardinals to take a 10 percent pay cut and […]
