You might have seen the posters?

Please can you share this Action on X protest on Saturday with your readers?
The anti-choice brigade keep ripping down our posters even though we’ve put them back up three times now.
We can’t afford billboards and newspaper ads like the anti-choicers do, so we have to rely on social media and posters to let people know about it. Would be so grateful if you could help…

 

The rally will meet at 4pm, at the Central Bank plaza, Dame Street, Dublin, and march to the Dáil. BYOT.

Thanks Hannah

“It’s on the dance floor…”

“Sure, I don’t drive that far for my holidays…”

If these phrases have special meaning in your life you may know that Carton House in County Kildare (above) is home to the Montegomerie Golf Course and the O’Meara Golf Course.

AND that they will be hosting the Irish Open 2013 on June 27-30.

To celebrate, the Carton House’s public relations people have offered us one, yes one FOUR-ball to give away.

That’s YOU and three friends/relatives/etc. walking in the footsteps of golfing legends and others who have played the course, the ground staff and whatnot.

To enter just complete this sentence.

No cash, favours, green fees, etc. were given for this post but….

Sarah from Insight wishes to add:

Carton House has hosted some of the world’s finest golfers at the 2005 and 2006 Irish Opens. Carton House is home to two magnificent golf courses The Montgomerie Golf Course and the O’Meara Golf Course.

The Montgomerie Course, designed by 7 times European Order of Merit winner Colin Montgomerie, will be the 2013 Irish Open course, hosting some of the world’s finest golfers. The ‘Monty’ is a 7300-yard “links style” journey across sweeping firm fairways, cavernous bunkers and impeccable greens.”

So there.

“An MP from the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party repeatedly shouted “Heil Hitler!” in the Greek parliament after barred for insulting a fellow lawmaker.

“Panayiotis Iliopoulos was expelled for “cursing” about major opposition leader Alexis Tsipras, of the Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza). He allegedly called fellow MPS “goats” and “filthy people”.

“Ioannis Dragasakis, another Syriza member who was sitting as parliament’s speaker in place of Evangelos Meimarakis, told the Golden Dawn member to ‘go away’.”
