Just One…

There really isn’t any such thing as going out for “just one” in Ireland, is there?

Lisbon Treaty – No-one in the Government has read it!

I’m shocked to hear that neither the Taoiseach nor the Tánaiste has read the Lisbon Treaty, yet they urge us to support it. The Tánaiste in particular made a right fool of herself by saying that large countries had more than one EU Commissioner, which in fairness used to be true, but not for several [...]

Charlie McCreevy on the Galway Races Tent

Fianna Fáil announced last night that they were stopping the tradition of having a fundraising tent at the Galway Races. Responding to the announcement, Charlie McCreevy “said he had found the tent to be a pain in the arse, adding that he was allowed to use such language as it had been sanctioned by the [...]

Young people, drugs, and alcohol

There’s a new study by a researcher at UCD out today which shows that 50% of 15-19 year olds have used drugs, and a massive 86% drink alcohol.

The EU was originally designed to be a group of nations sharing power on matters of common interest, acting unanimously.
The Lisbon Treaty makes the EU a federal [...]

Brian Cowen’s Language

I heard Brian Cowen on the radio today, trying to excuse himself for swearing in the Dáil. Who knows who he was referring to? Fine Gael? Libertas? Some group of civil servants? Anyway, I was surprised to hear that he swore in the first place. I would think that someone who has been in the [...]

And so it begins…

Got this in an email forward this morning. Someone was quick off the mark! Brilliant though

Cancer services

I spent most of today travelling to and from Dublin, hence no posts until now. And I’m only back in the house after watching the Champions League Final with friends, one of whom is a fanatical Man. Utd. fan, so of course I had to side with him. Also Chelsea have taken a lot of [...]

Dustin is out! Vote NO to Lisbon!

Europe insulted Ireland tonight, by voting Dustin the Turkey out of the Eurovision song contest. We need to send a strong, clear message to Europe that we, the people of Ireland, will not accept being treated like this.
We must vote NO to the Lisbon Treaty on June 12.
