You should put up a select transcript from today’s Liveline [RTÉ Radio 1. The host went off on an angle about this letter (above) in Alive! [Catholic newspaper] and the editor Fr [Brian] Mc Kevitt was able for him.
However each point the priest was made was twisted by Joe Duffy or other callers and it descended into a farce. In particular Joe Duffy questioning Alive! policies and not being able to defend RTÉ licence payers being used to pay 3 producers for a 75 minute show! Fr McKevitt has previous complained to the BAI about Joe Duffy’s treatment….
Fight!

Max is missing since 10am this morning. He got out of his house on the Clonkeen Road [Co Dublin] near Cornelscourt [Foxrock, Dublin 18]. Please if you live in the surrounding areas of Blackrock and Cabinteely keep an eye out for him. Owners sick with worry. If you see him take him to your nearest vet to be scanned as his chip is registered to owners.
Anyone?
He’s Ireland’s most divisive puppet.
But who’s pulling the strings?

The current issue of Village magazine, now monthly, in shops NOW
Village on the Seanad elections:
Village is a campaigning magazine. Two of its key agendas are equality and sustainability.
Two thoughtful and evidence-led champions of these issues are respectively Oisín Coghlan of Friends of the Earth and Rory Hearne of Tasc, standing for the Trinity and NUI panels.…In the same spirit NUI voters might want to avoid voting for Michael McDowell (strangely
endorsed recently by LGBTI campaigner, Katherine Zappone TD, who – if she had any interest
in Equality would know better)…….Just one of the three outgoing NUI senators, Ronan Mullen, is seeking reelection. The other two, Fergal Quinn and John Crown, are not running again.
Current Trinity Senators, Prof Ivana Bacik, David Norris and Prof Sean Barrett are all standing again in this election. Norris, a long-term campaigner on progressive issues, is the longest-serving senator on the panel, while Bacik is Reid Professor of Criminal Law in the Law School, and a former TCDSU President.
She is a solid and excellent candidate with an unimpeachable record on both equality and the environment; and she is a generous contributor to Village…
*cough*
FIGHT!
