What is behind attacks on Irish NGOs?
Women’s Aid last week received hundreds of abusive online comments. Let’s not be immune to how, in just a few short years, occurrences like this go unremarked.

Consultants at the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin have once again emphasised "choice" in a row with the government. They are caught between the BMW 7 Series or the new Mercedes S-Class hybrid!!

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill accused of running a "socialist" "vendetta" in today's newspaper if you'd forgotten what kind of psychopaths hold sway in Irish maternity services

Used to bristle at the Daily Edge watching along with the Toy Show but seeing the Irish Times having staff live blog day 2 of the Leaving Cert until 9pm at night is outrageous @NUJofficial

The owners of Gript are kicking around since the Eighties while McGuirk had already been thrown out of both FG and FG by the age of 23 in 2007. Are you that badly stuck for "upstarts"?
May 29
It is astounding how many times genuine upstarts in politics or media in Ireland will shoot themselves in the foot with splits like this.
As long as the genuine opposition remains divided, we will continue to be led by a failed uniparty in the Dáil.

Sean Canney very unconvincing on telly this evening. Road safety has gone rapidly backwards since generating a lot of momentum when i was growing up. The minister is hardly further along than Dermot Ahern & Noel Dempsey 20 years ago.

Hasbara is mental cause it used to just be people pretending they were not members of Fianna Fáil but now it's some guy who has clearly never set foot in the country that's texting Irish radio shows at half ten on a Tuesday night.

Wine is just wine to most Americans, and Grana Padano is as good as parmesan is as good as pecorino. But just see what happens when you say that Coke Zero is the same as Diet Coke. Like Robert Conquest said, everyone is an Italian about what they know best.
