The Irish Minister for Justice, Mr. Dermot Ahern, should be prosecuting a crimes against humanity case against the Catholic Church instead of trying to protect them with “blasphemy” laws.
I suppose Mr. Ahern considers this a clever way to protect all the paedophile priests and score points with the Cardinal and Bishops.
Just like in Rwanda we have countless innocent victims, only this time it was the Catholic Church that was the criminal.
Mr. Ahern needs to stop his hypocrisy and do his job protecting the innocent — not the guilty.
John O’Connell,
Not only is Gerry Adams up your favourite creek in relation to the hunger strike, he and his comrade, Martin McGuinness, are also up that very same creek in regard to Sinn Fein’s behind-the-scenes campaign to repress the Irish language.
You start to connect the dots and you find an ugly pattern of deceit and lies that seems to benefit only those in power and not those at community level who need the benefiting the most.
The united Ireland stuff is simply a red herring to take attention away from the hard cold reality that Sinn Fein’s participation in government has been a failure with the situation at community level continuing to deteriorate economically, socially, and education-wise. Crime has jumped up over the past several years.
Sinn Fein has brought nothing to the table to benefit the little people on the street who first put SF in power.
Giving the Shinners the benefit of the doubt anymore is starting to run out for many people.
The Catholic Church is a 2,000 year-old paedophile cult that has raped many tens of thousands of little innocent children over the millenia, and especially, in Ireland.
This is the worst crime against humanity imaginable.
The purpose of the cardinals and bishops was to see to evil, hear no evil, speak no evil concerning their paedophile priests.
Mr. Ahern, you need to conduct a crimes against humanity trial and determine when all this paedophilia started instead of protecting the Irish child rapists, as you have been wont to do.
Your cowardice is overwhelming.
Prosecute me, Mr. Ahern.
At a recent Comhairle meeting in Lurgan concerning the Armagh secondary school situation, the CEO of Comhairle told the distressed parents who had been told their children could NOT attend St. Catherine’s that he was there “to take notes” and “not to answer questions.” He had one of his staff “chair” the meeting.
Several parents walked out of the Lurgan meeting in total disgust.
This is latest in the coordinated campaign between Comhairle, Foras, Sinn Fein, and the Catholic Church to destroy the Irish language in the North.
This is the bitter fruit of the Good Friday Agreement for all to see.
It is past time to decommission Comhairle for the absolute farce it is and for Sinn Fein and the Catholic Church to clear the hell out of the way involving anything concerning education.
We do not need this new insidious form of language repression.
Let the free market decide Irish language educational needs — not the Catholic Church and Sinn Fein.
Dr Gordon Gillespie, a researcher at the Institute of Irish Studies at Queen’s University Belfast, gave a presentation on “Graphic Portrayals: Northern Ireland, Graphic Novels and the Peace Process”, at the Linen Hall Library.

Great little review of Listening to Van Morrison by Griel Marcus… It’s a short book, not a biography or a career survey, but an attempt to follow those moments in Morrison’s music, as he’s made it from his first records with Them, from Belfast in 1965 to the present day, when something happens that breaks [...] read our review »
