http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2013/oct/03/irish-independent-ireland Sorry, might be old news, but new to me and interesting given the large portion of the media in Ireland owned by one organisation. Makes you think what else might be missed out. It's not like the international...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/video/2013/may/29/apples-dirty-little-tax-secret-video Thought this would be of interest given the recent talk about the sanctified 12.5%

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2012/0921/1224324231375.html?via=rel Been out of the country for a while. Shame to see there is no end to el clientelismo in Ireland, despite the absolute shite it's landed the country in. The location of these primary care sites should be planned...

New series on RTE Tuesday evening at 22.15. It's by the historian Diarmaid Ferriter, the same fellow who wrote "Occasions of Sin". Might be a nice (and important) relief from the endless back and forth on economics that's defining public discourse in Ireland at the mo'. Here's the interview with...

Truck protest today in Dublin in favour of Quinn Insurance Hey, Interested to see what anybody thought of this 'spontaneous' protest this morning. To me, it seems like now some big financial institutions are getting the medicine that Anglo, AIB et al needed a few years ago, but people don't...

Michael O'Brien lets Noel Dempsey have it on Q & A's No response to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jHqndf9Kx4&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politics.ie%2Fchat%2F71725-questions-answers-25-05-a-21.html&feature=player_embedded

We don't know much about architecture, but we seem to know what we hate. What do we like, though? Anyone got any ideas that might spruce the city up a bit? Stick up some suggestions of buildings in Cork, or elsewhere, that you think we should try to emulate... Here's the obvious contender for...

Not sure if everyone's seen this, but if you have, I hope what's contained within will spare me from any withering comments; Enjoy: http://www.madville.com/videos/306285_we_didnt_start_the_flame_war

What do all of ye think of the marches today? I know a lot of people think it bodes well for a turning point in this mess we're in, people power and all of that, but I'm not so sure. I work in the public sector (more or less anyway, my wages come from govt.). Recently, we were asked to start...

Did anyone manage to encounter this moron on Newstalk this evening? He comes on George Hook's show the day another 300 people lose their jobs (in Ericsson, and probably a fair few others besides), and starts by joking about the hotel deals that are on offer in these tough times of ours. He then...

Just read the article on Cork's local politics on the People's Republic home page. Excellent stuff, I hope everyone reads it and gets out and votes in their local elections the next time. Now's a good time for some grass-roots political action... the way things re going an' all that..

Dunno if anyone read this preview article by Ray Comisky in the Times last Friday? http://www.irishtimes.com/theticket/articles/2008/1024/1224715109995.html I've posted similar sentiments here myself quite a while back. It was great being back at the weekend, but the festival itself as a music...

Nice to see that Cho-Hueng-whatever his name is has had his greatest ambitions fulfilled by NBC and the rest of the world's media today. I can imagine this video he filmed of himself must have been central to his whole plot. It's amazing how a psychotic loner can achieve such fame with minimal...

Hello all. I don't usually post here but it seems to be the place for this type of discussion. Could anyone answer me the title of this thread? Perhaps this is bordering on sexism, I don't know, each to their own and all, but I'd be interested in the thinking behind it. Also, why are their so...

Hey, I'm eager to hear something I haven't heard before (aren't we all). Anyone got any recommendations for some "off the beaten track" artist/album that'd be worth checking out? Something that can be downloaded from itunes or emusic would be a bonus. Here's my own suggestions if anyone's...

It's been said in the national press several times but I'll reiterate away mad. The organisers of the Jazz Festival will have to completely overhaul the format if it is to stand any chance of surviving as a credible event. The format and programming this year was the same as every other. The...
