The Reform Group - Ireland for a New Generation. Monday, 25 January 2010. By Jerry Walsh) - The Angelus: Thoughts for the Reform Blog from a Roman Catholic perspective. The Angelus chimes were not present on the Irish broadcasting system from the beginning. The bells began in the Holy Year 1950. Broadcasting the bells was suggested by the Roman Catholic Archbishop John Charles McQuaid. The Republic of Ireland had been declared on 21. Would continue to remain a part of the United Kingdom unless the. Was t...

The Reform Group - Ireland for a New Generation: The Tara Motorway - Desecrating Ireland's Shared Heritage? (by David Christopher)

The Reform Group - Ireland for a New Generation. Sunday, 2 March 2008. The Tara Motorway - Desecrating Ireland's Shared Heritage? On a slightly less political note, I was struck today by the comments of Seamus Heaney, Ireland's renowned poet and Nobel Laureate, who has lent his voice to all those opposing the government's plan to drive a motorway through the ancient Hill of Tara. Heaney stated:. Preserving our shared environment strikes me as one of those things where almost all nationalists and unionist...

Harry McGee: Seamus Brennan
http://harrymcgee.blogspot.com/2008/07/seamus-brennan.html
Inside politics Outside politics. Wednesday, July 09, 2008. I have resumed blogging within the new Irish Times. Site and will be duplicating those blogs here. It's strange returning to instant journalism (churnalism as Nick Davies would have it) after an absence of several months. The first post marks a sad occasion - the passing of Seamus Brennan. As chief whip, Bertie Ahern learned to come down the white line and take both sides of the street with him. I don't know how he got away with it.". Jizz was t...

Harry McGee: May 2007
http://harrymcgee.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Inside politics Outside politics. Wednesday, May 30, 2007. INSIDE POLITICS - THE SOUND OF SILENCE. The Dáil returns on June 14. We will have a Government then, one that you can confidently say will be Fianna Fail led, will also be Bertie Ahern led. If there were an agreement with the Greens it might be more stable. But looking at the numbers, you suspect that what FF might try for is a wider coalition involving FF, the two PDS, the six Greens, and one or two sympathetic independents. And the Tribunals...

Harry McGee: August 2007

Inside politics Outside politics. Thursday, August 30, 2007. INSIDE POLITICS - WILLIE O'DEA AND SHANNON. 8220;Me,” you reply perkily, “I couldn’t be better.”. Such was the nature of Willie O’Dea’s reaction to what amounted to a public dressing down by Cabinet colleagues over Shannon. But what is the resolution? Was the Government going to force Aer Lingus’s hand? Was it going to abstain – or worse, still back Ryanair – in a vote if an Emergency General Meeting is held in October? All those empty stories ...

http://harrymcgee.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Inside politics Outside politics. Monday, April 30, 2007. INSIDE POLITICS - BERTIE'S SUNDAY SWOOP. Like Enda Kenny I was caught on the hop by the pre-dawn swoop by Bertie Ahern yesterday morning. The FG leader was only in Mayo. Unfortunately for me I was in Lisbon without a computer. And here's the piece I tapped out on it in great haste (verging on panic) yesterday. Apologies for unspotted typos! The big surprise wasn't May 24 but the dawn raid on Áras an Uachtaráin. In hindsight it makes perfect se...
