Trump in Ireland. No Dramas
Trump in Ireland. No Dramas
Trump came and went this week with little to no fuss for a change. Apart from the men in uniform overload around County Clare, Trump jetted in and out and in and out again while attending to official duties overseas.

The Problem With Brexit is Brexit
The Problem With Brexit is Brexit
The UK was supposed to be leaving the EU at the end of March. It isn’t. Yet. One thing that Brexit has unearthed is the complete ignorance that many people in Britain have of Northern Ireland and the “Irish question” in general. Clueless. Politicians. Well educated you would have thought. Ignorant of the complexities of the north/Northern Ireland. It was never part of the equation. Never a…

Joe Brolly on BBC Talkback
Joe Brolly on BBC Talkback
Barrister and former GAA player Joe Brolly has described Northern Ireland as “diseased” and “dysfunctional.”
He didn’t hold back on his criticism of the DUP, but backed that up by criticising other parties as well. I see that there’s a lot of disagreement online, by loyalists mainly. What did he say that was incorrect?

Brexit. Britons Living Abroad
Brexit. Britons Living Abroad
I came across this article in the Guardian today about the plight of the 300,000 British citizens living in Spain after Brexit.
Here’s the link: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/03/fear-anger-stalk-britons-costa-del-sol-brexit
First thing. The headline. “Fear and anger stalk thousands of Britons living on Costa del Sol.” The main picture is of a group of people in La Herradura,…

Vatican considers limit on museum visitors amid safety fears
Vatican considers limit on museum visitors amid safety fears
I just saw this on The Guardian, and it’s way way overdue. I had the misfortune of being there in early 2018 and it was a horrible experience.

Low – Vicar Street – Live Review – 17/10/18 Nothing else to add to this review of an excellent gig.
Location. Location. Ranelagh for €10,000 a month?
Location. Location. Ranelagh for €10,000 a month?
O’Connor Shannon, or Shannon O’Connor properties gave me a good old laugh this morning.
A furnished 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom house to rent for €10,000 per month. I suppose, between 4 people, it’s only €2,500 each, or if you got 4 couples, it would be €1,250 each. 8 people in a house. Wouldn’t it be like a posh hostel?

Abortion Referendum - Ireland
Abortion Referendum – Ireland
Tomorrow, May 25th, Ireland will vote to repeal the 8th amendment on abortion. Well, officially, it’s started today, as the islands get to vote first.
It’s a joke that there is a referendum in the first place. Pathetic that we have to vote on a human right, that we have to vote to decide what women can do with THEIR OWN bodies.

Annoying Concert Behaviour – Please Shut Up and Listen!
Annoying Concert Behaviour – Please Shut Up and Listen!
The more I go to gigs in Ireland, they more I’m losing the will to attend anymore in the future, due to the amount of talking during songs, and overall bad gig etiquette.
I’m sure it’s not an Irish only problem, but online chatter seems to suggest audiences in other countries are possibly a bit more polite and attentive. I wouldn’t be sure, as people are people but that’s what the internet says,…

Bands and Musicians from Ireland, County by County
Bands and Musicians from Ireland, County by County
It has been said that Ireland punches above its weight musically, and that would be correct to some extent. We do produce a lot of bands. Many are good, and a lot more are terrible. (more…)

Ireland’s Weather: Spring, Autumn, Winter. In No Particular Order.
Four seasons in one day. More like four versions of winter in one day most of the time. If you’re sick of the predictable coming and going of the seasons, then move to Ireland, where it’s like a lucky dip every week.

Alternative St Patrick’s Day 2017
Alternative St Patrick’s Day 2017
If you hate pubs, drinkin’ and fightin’, then maybe a St Patrick’s weekend in Dublin isn’t for you. But but, but, there’s plenty going on if you want to have an Irish experience this weekend.
I don’t like the craziness that the St. Patrick’s festival brings. It’s messy, and can be edgy depending on where you are. It’s a boozefest for many, which is a sad conclusion to what people think should be…
