As a writer I really must thank,
This Texan republican crank,
Who bases the law,
On a picture he saw,
Of a foetus enjoying a wank.

Ossian Smyth writes:
Last year you asked why Phil Hogan used his powers to stop 5 separate planning inquiries.
Labour’s Jan O’Sullivan, his junior minister for planning came out to defend the decision at the time, citing “the very considerable cost of retaining consultants to conduct these inquiries required some further examination” and wanting “to ensure that the response to the complaints raised was proportionate.”
So what followed last year was an internal inquiry that found no evidence of corruption or wrongdoing and was broadly panned as a whitewash.
A High Court action resulted last week in the government paying out €25,000 compensation to a sacked planner who had been a whistleblower on corrupt practices in Donegal County Council.
Jan has changed her mind and decided to hold those planning inquiries after all.Better late than never.
