1. Comment on “the current system is inefficient and we need to examine the case for reform of teacher education provision”

   Is there a power grab also being worked by Queens? Perhaps they are worried by their dept being unviable?

   Let us just call this as it is. Diversity in Ireland is fine – provided that it is not Catholicism.

   and you know what? It is all the Catholics fault for sending their children to Catholic schools – if only they would stop that.

   The steps to introduce the most regressive legislation, the denial of the most fundamental right – the right to life – is presented as an advance? Amazing the moral contortions the pro abortion lobby engage in.

6. Comment on Sinn Fein undermining the sanctity of marriage
   on 30 April 2013 at 12:04 pm

   Just for the record. I am a Catholic who will vote for the DUP before Sinn Fein, and I will also vote against a United Ireland if that would mean I would have to live in a society that elevated a gay relationship to the status of marriage. For what matters if you gain the world if you lose your soul.

7. Comment on Sunder Katwala on diversity: “having your own rights is about respecting the rights of others…”
   on 18 April 2013 at 5:14 pm

   All this talk about diversity and religious freedom is all very well but it is divisive. We need peope all to respect each other and the only way to do that is eliminate perceived difference as that always starts trouble. The best way to do this is to educate the children. Which is why integrated education is so important and needs to be introduced to stop division.

8. Comment on Halappanavar Inquest: Midwife’s remarks rather than clinical mistakes beg legislation and public debate
   on 11 April 2013 at 1:26 pm

   Looks increasingly like clinical mistakes rather than Catholic values caused the the death of this unfortunate women which begs the question as to why any legislative change is necessary

9. Comment on Meath East: First tallies make FG early favourites…

   Hardly fantastically, they have not made hay out of Labours demise, their percentage in 2011 was a miserable 8.88% and now it is 13.02%. So from a low base, and with a collapse of Labour from 21.04% to 4.57% Sinn Fein did poorly. Their support of abortion was noted, their negative performance in the Dail, Gerry Adams all helped to ensure the votes flowed back to FF. FF have saw their % rise from 19.61% to 32.92% FG even saw a small, and negligable drop of 2.38%.

   All in all the day was Fianna Fáil’s and the loser was Labour. Gilmore must be on dodgy ground. Sinn Fein should have done better.
