Great piece by Fintan O’Toole on Willie O Dea’s resignation. Turns out Willie thrives on Limerick’s disadvantage, and would be redundant without it.
An interesting and critical piece on Niall Mellon’s work in South Africa. He just got €100,000 and the Meteor Humanitarian Award, but it his work worthwhile?
How changing demographics should impact on business.
A proposal by Sinn Fein to ban entering coalition with either FF or FG. Surely this would make SF the permanent opposition, and therefore a waste of a vote?
A great piece on how lucky we all are, and how we forget it.
Colm O’Gorman writes a poignant piece on his faith.
Noel Whelan (a fella in the know) writes about what Ministers do day to day, It ‘s important reading, particularly in light of how I (somewhat simplistically) described a Minister’s role.
Breda O Brien asks where are the missing children?
Quote of the week goes to Eamon Ryan on the Ray D’Arcy show.
D’Arcy: Do you ever look across at the Opposition deputies and think some of them are awful eejits?
Ryan: Well, sometimes you don’t have to look across. You can just look around you.
Eeeouch!
Interesting story about a child in the developing world suing for the use of his image without permission.
Bloggers enter Westminster. Time for a similar move by Dail Eireann, methinks.
