Did you watch Nolan on TV t’other night?He was talking about Lisneal College, which got a £710,000 football pitch – without even asking, it’s alleged – following a meeting with Education minister Paul Givan and some others. What’s that smell I’m getting? And there were tears shed and at least one rude word uttered (watch the video and you’ll find out).
Trump is threatening tariffs on any country that’s got a trade deficit with the US. In that case, the South of Ireland had better brace itself, as it’s at the front of the guilty queue. Or is Trump lying/bluffing again?
Finally the names of 15 deceased Jesuits have been released, who were said to have been guilty of physical and sexual abuse. The Irish Times quotes several people who say they were victims. I wonder will they get compensation, because both Pat and I suffered physical (and maybe sexual) abuse when we attended school. So too did many of our contemporaries. Why aren’t they screaming blue murder, then?
Oh, and happy St Vaalentine’s Day.
Jude, I recall went I attended the Presentation Brothers boys school, where one particular brother had a cane which he use call his A.B. Atom Bomber.
With regards to politicians visiting the US for Paddy’s Day, Why dont you provide your viewer/listeners with a button which allow us to vote on the matter?
I happen to believe a boycott of the Whitehouse while Trump is on the throne, wont damage Irelands interests, because whoever takes over after he leaves office, regardless whether they are republican or democrat, will almost certainly revert to normality and the shamrock can bloom again. Its only a matter of time before the lunatic leaves the building and normal relations between the US and Ireland can resume, but that said, there was nothing normal about Genocide Joe and the 2k pound bombs his administration delivered to Gaza before Trump took up office.
Yeah, what a great idea to snub Trump when Ireland is raking in so many taxes from American tech firms. I’m sure Trump, with his well known reasonable disposition, will be perfectly fine in letting this continue for the foreseeable future.
Ireland is going to get a taste of reality, and it’s not going to be pretty.

Regarding Lisneal, the issue is with potential breaches of procedure and the rules for allocating money.
EA are totally silent. Givan has knocked the issue back to them.
We have heard from the Givanr, the Principal and the Education committee, but not the Education Authority.
The Education Authority need to explain their rules and procedures and why they were broken in this case.
Over to you, Mr Pengelly and Mr Storey.
Why no-one has asked Pengelly to explain matters is a mystery.
Maybe not.
