Barbara, Lora and the Féile Draíochta Team write:

We are the organisers of a small non-profit community festival celebrating unique aspects of Irish culture in the run up to Halloween. Féile Draíochta is a one day event being held at the Camden Court Hotel, this Saturday (4th), and is open to everyone. With a wonderful selection of unique talks, workshops, entertainment, and market stalls there’s sure to be something for everyone interested in, or curious about, Irish spirituality and Paganism.

Mark Graham from “A Year of Festivals in Ireland” interviews Féile Draíochta’s Lora O’Brien here.

Mothers and Fathers Matter is a group set up to say exactly that, ‘mothers and fathers matter’. We support and promote a child’s right to a mothers and fathers wherever practicable. We believe that the Government’s new Children and Family Relationships Bill is unjust because it says mothers and fathers don’t matter to children.

Mothers and Fathers Matter includes among its members David Quinn of the Iona Institute (top), Ray Kinsella (centre), a Pro-Life activist and Professor at the Michael Smurfit Graduate School of Business UCD and Tom Finegan (bottom), one-time assistant to Senator Ronan Mullen.

The website shares the same IP address as catholicbishops.ie, catholicireland.net, dublindiocese.ie, and gettingmarried.ie .

All because teh gays want to adopt your children.
