Housing A National Scandal

By my good Friend David Langwallner: “The cause of homelessness is lack of housing. “ Jonathan Kozol. U.S Educationalist “Housing is a human right. There can be no fairness or justice in a society in which some live in homelessness, or in the shadow of that risk, while others cannot even imagine it.” Jordan Flaherty, Floodlines: Community and Resistance from Katrina to the Jena Six Housing A…

Is the Cruise Park issue symptomatic of a broken society?

Is the Cruise Park issue symptomatic of a broken society? Certainly a broken and out of control financial sector! After all, our Constitution holds, in Article 41: “The State recognises the Family as the natural primary and fundamental unit group of Society, and as a moral institution possessing inalienable and imprescriptible rights, antecedent and superior to all positive law.” And also: “The…

The Rule Of Law in Ireland

The Rule of Law in Ireland: David Langwallner, Dean of Law Griffith College, Director of The Irish Innocence Project, Barrister What is meant by the concept of The Rule of Law so intrinsic to the viability of a legal system and is such a concept honoured in Ireland today? I believe that the rule of law though arguably an unqualified good is not being adhered to in this state save by many of the…

Smuggled note from "Coventry".....

Smuggled note from “Coventry”…..

I am derogating from a moratorium on postings to the blog, imposed for the foreseeable future, to bring you this singularly, very important news from the USA, shared from http://neweconomicperspectives.org/ As usual, this concerns the USA particularly but is a mirror image of how the subject should be approached in an Irish context. None of the principles / designers / perpetrators of the Irish…

The Undeniable Truth….The Inconvenient Truth….as we enter 2016

We can manufacture many things, everything is possible, we all know this, but the one thing we cannot make is Time! and so 2016 arrives. 2016 is so important to so many people for so many reasons, there is Hope in 2016 for most of us but for more and more people on this spinning speck of dust in a vast universe Hope is fading, we see this every day in so many ways, globally, the far east is…

We ignore basic principles at our peril.........Man's Reasoning

We ignore basic principles at our peril………Man’s Reasoning

Man’s Reasoning What a huge subject! Where do we start? For me that is simple. We all have an over-arching belief, for some its one form of religion or other, Christianity in its many forms, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism etc.. for some its Creationism or Humanism, the overriding principles and the common ground in all these things is what is referred to as God’s Law, or Natural Law, or Common Law, a…

Ben Gilroy….Love him or Loath him….he is filling a void that undoubtably exists

This is an article which is probably overdue, I have decided to author this in response to two issues, the first the matter of Cork woman Claire Knowles and her detention in Limerick Prison on charges of contempt for refusing to comply with an Order of the Cork Circuit Court to hand up possession of her family home, the second issue is the 96FM interview Ben Gilroy did with PJ Coogan Friday past,…

Corruption & Collusion...front and centre all this week...but not for the reasons you might think!

Corruption & Collusion…front and centre all this week…but not for the reasons you might think!

Well, what a week! When I mention corruption and collusion I should make it clear, I understand the meaning of both words, I understand the impact of an experience of either practice’s and so I don’t use either word flippantly, the general public in Ireland could be excused for thinking this article is probably about the RTE Expose of corruption in local government after the investigation which…

Never let the Truth get in the way of a good story ….oop’s I mean court order….

The old adage’s….Justice is Blind and the title of this article – Never Let the Truth get in the Way ofa Good Story Court Order, have never been more true. A new chapter in an ongoing modern-day financial tragedy opened up in Cork Circuit Court today, it’s one I am not unfamiliar with, one where an otherwise good, upstanding, law-abiding, ordinary Irish Citizen has ended up in Limerick Prison at…

The high cost of unseen consequences

Interesting conversation on http://moneyweek.com/ which is quite mainstream, more and more of such conversations are taking place where a couple of years ago they would have been consigned to the realm of the conspiracy theorist, of course all fact was once the subject of conspiracy theory. This discussion touches on so many issues which are generally ignored elsewhere in the main stream media,…
