The Government have succeeded in keeping our Churches – not their Churches but our Churches – closed during Holy Week: a week on which our whole Christian faith pivots. It cannot be said too often that there was no medical reason to do so. It has been a repressive policy; and the misinformation and fear-mongering […]
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. Deputy Tóibín said “we are being told that there is light at the end of the tunnel but the tunnel is getting longer and longer.” The Meath West TD said Ireland was […]

There were sharp exchanges in the Dáil last night as the government refused to accept calls from four independent TDs who called for places of worship to be open for Easter, to limited numbers of the faithful, under strict conditions. Carol Nolan, Richard O’Donoghue, Michael Collins and Mattie McGrath had strongly argued that churches could be re-opened […]
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 […]
