The headline of the election of the new Uachtarán na hÉireann is of course, the extraordinary election of Catherine Connolly herself. Her pretty flawless campaign demonstrated not only her principles but also an unexpected and astonishing ability to keep a ball in the air. We have maintained the tradition, now more than thirty years of…

I Do not listen to those who say that this shambolic Presidential campaign is reminiscent of the last time there was a Fianna Fáil implosion during such a campaign, with Brian Lenihan in 1990; in fact the last time there was a Fianna Fáil implosion during a Presidential election was with Seán Gallagher in 2011.…

Macdara has long held it to be a commonplace that the unbearable Timothée Chalamet has been cast in any and seemingly every Role available to a male actor in the last decade because he reminds directors of the awkward White Youth they used to be. It was less clear to him that Charlie Kirk was…

So in this terroristic townland, we find that a gross crime is committed every year: the bonfire for Eleventh Night, commemorating (better to say celebrating) a key battle in the invasion of Ireland. Stacks of material up to 60 meters high are lit on fire, constituting a multiple crime, being at once a threat to…

It is an Irish town with a clearly Irish name, though since it is almost entirely made up of settlers, they would deny that there is anything Irish about the place whatsoever; it is striking that the settlers refused to rename the places they invaded, speaking of course to the settler pathology, a desire not…

One might ask what could be less ideological than Numbers; where language is shifty and subjective, surely Numbers offer a means of achieving some measure of objectivity? Of course not. Let us take some examples. There is a lazy aspect to the language of the Rich that has surfaced particularly over the last couple of…

A naive observer might ask how a crime of the magnitude of Genocide may be covered up. This is a mistake: a crime of the magnitude of Genocide must be covered up. Recall that the Catholic Church abhors Miracles as phenomena outside its system of control; popular devotion, popular politics or activism: these disgust our…
