There’s a letter into today’s Sindo, with the heading ‘Few people are anti-life’.

What did you call yourself? How dare you!

Nice one, Eamo…
There are people who’ll tell you it’s impossible to ride two horses at once. They haven’t talked to Eamon Gilmore, obviously. Shortly before the Israeli killing of the leader of Hamas, I got a call from presstv (google them). They wanted to know what I thought of the Irish government’s decision to push for the […]

QC says report will include some "highly-classified documents". Oo-er.
Sir Desmond de Silva QC (don’t you wish you’d a name like that?) who’s been leading a British government review of the killing of Pat Finucane says some “highly-classified documents” will be included in the report.
