Ben having a “lovers spat” with a cookie because he can’t resist eating/binging it is too relatable to me. And then the heartbreaking scene of him screaming at himself in the mirror and calling himself a fucking pig. It’s actual art

Judicial Malfeasance? and Removal of Rights? in Ireland..............

Judicial Malfeasance? and Removal of Rights? in Ireland…………..

Another day in the Four Courts in Dublin, the “new” Court of Appeal specifically, provided furtherevidence of the continuing erosion of civil rights, access to a fair hearing and due process in general.

Today, I saw the effect of the new Court of Appeal on the ability of a litigant to access the Irish Court system to the fullest extent. I was witness to legal counsel for the Governor and Company…

The sham of statute law.......

The sham of statute law…….

As it appeared i today’s Examiner with thanks to Barry Fitzgerald….

The sham of statute law

Former Justice Minister Alan Shatter has opened a door that as a society it would behove us to burst through.

High Court Dublin ...today! You couldn't make this stuff up......

High Court Dublin …today! You couldn’t make this stuff up……

I would like to congratulate Mr Mark Reynolds of “Savills” in Dublin …..(I think)!

Armoin Residential Securities Ltd....Irish Nationwide's weapon of financial destruction

Armoin Residential Securities Ltd….Irish Nationwide’s weapon of financial destruction

On the eve of a hopefully successful display of ordinary people’s disgust at the impending sale of 13,000 plus Irish Homeowners Mortgages to unknown entities, probably foreign Vulture Funds I have taken a top-level look at Irish Nationwide Building Society’s parting salvo to the Irish People, the sale of 10,487 Residential Irish Mortgages which took place on March 6th 2009.

Sometimes I wonder.....

Sometimes I wonder…..

The following is comment posted by a friend who writes under the pseudonym ”Truthful Irish”…. for readers outside Ireland this comment asks very pertinent questions and relays some painful home truths…..

Sometimes I wonder,

I really do, all sorts of mad things roam through my head from time to time. I wonder about my friends, my family, people I have lost. I wonder how my son manages to crack…

To Be...EU or Not To Be...EU........

Quite a thought provoking piece in today’s Sunday Business Post by Tom McGurk… in it he asks, given the growing impedus in England for a departure from the EU should we be looking at a similar stance?

” Is it not time that, here in Ireland, we begin to…
