Barry Cowen of Fianna Fail is thinking of running to become an MEP. If he runs and succeed, Micheal Martin will be rid of him in domestic politics – BUT, he will then face a by-electopm for Cowen’s seat, which he may lose. Rock and hard place? On RTE radio  on Sunday morning, Derryman Jim […]

 Gavin Robinson and Mervyn Gibson were asked the same question on separate occasions in recent days, and both produced the same brisk answer .

    French troops mounted guard at Buckingham Palace and British at the Elysee Palace yesterday 8th of April to commemorate the One Hundred and Twentieth Anniversary of the Entente Cordiale.   The reigning Monarch in London in 1904 was Edward VII, “Edward the Caresser.”  A Dubliner’s quip that there was “more Pox than Pax”  […]
