An Post, Camile Thai takeaway and the TV Licence inspector.
A Troika of tasty evil?
Joe writes:
Today a letter was delivered to my house from the TV Licence inspector addressed to my housemate’s girlfriend. She does not live with us but occasionally gets takeaway from Camile and JustEat.ie delivered here. In the last few months she received two letters from Camile with her name and our address handwritten on the envelope.
My question is; is it legal for An Post to use the names and addresses from letters that pass through the sorting offices for the purpose of TV licence registration? Myself and my housemates receive post regularly so why didn’t they address the letter to any of us?
Our theory is that An Post/TV licence guys picked my housemate’s girlfriend’s name as the name/address on the letters from Camile are handwritten, suggesting that the letter is sent from someone who knows the recipient lives at that address. Seems pretty underhanded from An Post!
Anyone?

Members of Survivors Of Symphysiotomy outside the Department of the Taoiseach last year and Health Minister Leo Varadkar
“Minister for Health Leo Varadkar has refused to intervene in the Government scheme for survivors of symphysiotomy following claims that it is adversarial and demeaning.”
“Mr Varadkar said the assessor in the scheme, former High Court judge Ms Justice Maureen Harding Clark, was appointed to act as an independent adviser. “That is why I will not attempt to go over her head or overrule her,” he said.”
“The scheme “is the least adversarial system that could be established”, he said. To date, 235 offers had been made and 222 accepted from 577 applicants.”

This morning’s your first chance to see,
More words from the great Harper Lee,
They reckon this book,
Will catch you with it’s hook,
So they’re giving the first dose for free.

Young, Paperless and Powerful is a video of contributions from 14-21 year olds who have lived in Ireland for years but who are undocumented.
Greg Byrne writes:
“Here’s a short film I made along with my friend Stephen on behalf of the Migrant Rights Centre for a really great cause. The film lays out the difficulties undocumented children face in Ireland today in the words are the kids themselves. Aiming to raise awareness about their own plight and to hopefully help bring about regularisation in the near future. The kids were incredible to work with. A truly inspirational bunch who really deserve an equal chance at life in this country. A country they already enrich so much every day.”
