Cheesh. There are some mornings when I don’t know where to begin. My good friend gio has decided to maintain his mask of anonymity while insisting that I must, sans mask, deliver hmy opinion on physical violence. Another poster-boy/girl tells me I must now write about the Catholic Church. Re anonymity : to say it […]

Skool stinks
A couple of points before I go on to my topic for today: (i) William Crawley on Sunday noted that his radio programme ‘Sunday Sequence’ had received its highest-ever number of emails and texts in response to his interview with Peter Quinn, and that approximately 95% of these were positive in their attitude to the […]

Morrison and O’Doherty on the Nolan show
I’m sorry I missed the debate between Danny Morrison and Malachi O’Doherty on the Nolan Show on BBC Radio Ulster/Raidio Uladh this morning. I know and respect both men, so I’m sure these points I’ll list were covered in the course of the debate. Was the IRA campaign justified? Well, that would depend on your […]

Maybe I should see a head-doctor – I keep meeting and liking people whose views, political and otherwise, I vigorously reject. Anyroad, our topic for discussion […]

Blood is thicker than water?
I had a family wedding last weekend so my thoughts as I write are still with the impact of the personal. Any wedding carries an emotional wallop, and a family wedding carries a double wallop. Which makes me realize how for many people, life in its entirety is lived at the personal, family level. In […]

How I wish I’d done economics. Like Fintan.
Sometimes I wish I’d done economics. Then I’d be like Fintan O’Toole – and so many other people – who are able to see their way through the financial/economic undergrowth that the present recession has plunged us into. Fintan’s writing in the Irish Times this morning and he’s firing on all moral cylinders, criticising the […]
