WorldbyStorm - 16:17 Thu Apr 25, 2024 I did not know that Kathy Sheridan in the Irish Times had a father, Peter Joe Sheridan, who was a long time Independent TD for Longford-Westmeath. He was in office there from 1961 to 1981 and while originally from a Fine Gael background he did, at times, support Fianna Fáil government?s. She writes about Independents […]
WorldbyStorm - 16:16 Thu Apr 25, 2024 Behold the voice of ?moderate? Unionism, as noted on Slugger.
WorldbyStorm - 16:15 Thu Apr 25, 2024 Useful polling here, as reported in the Guardian, about the issue of voter attitudes to the Tories and Labour. The figure I find most interesting is satisfaction with Starmer. From a significant high when he gained the leadership of the BLP it has fallen to a point where he?s about as unpopular as Corbyn was […]
guestposter - 17:46 Wed Apr 24, 2024 Very, very sorry to hear of the passing of Allan Armstrong, as noted by ColmB in Comments earlier today. A lovely person who was enormously generous with his time and his thoughts and whose quiet determination and sincerity was the foundation of good politics. It was a pleasure along with others who write and comment […]
WorldbyStorm - 11:25 Wed Apr 24, 2024 Had a bit of sympathy for the Archbishop of Dublin when he noted that: The decline in priests and practice among Catholics in Dublin ?confronts us with something new, but something we do not clearly understand. We feel perplexed, even that the Lord has abandoned us. We feel that we have lost our way. These […]
WorldbyStorm - 10:26 Wed Apr 24, 2024 Fair dues to Joe O?Brien of the Green Party for noting that there was little push at Cabinet level (O?Brien himself is a Junior Minister) to find beds for asylum seekers. Minister of State Joe O?Brien, who has responsibility for aspects of integration policy, said: ?I?ve been in the Cabinet subcommittees that were chaired by […]
guestposter - 07:48 Wed Apr 24, 2024 As always, following on Dr. X?s suggestion, it?s all yours, ?announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose?, feel free.
WorldbyStorm - 18:28 Tue Apr 23, 2024 Totted up the time Micheál Martin was in office as Taoiseach and he was there for six months in 2020, twelve months in 2021 and twelve months in 2022. Exactly two and a half years. Varadkar was in office for twelve months in 2023 and just three months in 2024. Harris could potentially be in […]
WorldbyStorm - 10:40 Tue Apr 23, 2024 From the Irish Times this week: A resident in a HSE-run nursing home in Co Wexford was staying in a locked room and was unable to let themself out, an inspection by a health watchdog has found. Meanwhile, in a Dublin nursing home, some residents were ?going up to two weeks without a shower? due […] |
