The doorway close to Leinster House where Jonathan Corrie was found dead last month

A sleepover.

Hosted by Sinn Féin Dublin City councillor Chris Andrews.

He writes:

Homelessness not just about getting a room in a hostel. It needs more than that and Government needs to provide the services that are needed. Particularly addiction services and Mental Health services. We will be meeting outside the Dail on Kildare Street at 8pm and sleep out overnight to highlight the need for action. So lets wrap up and sleep out…

17thc+stocks

Six young Irish women.

Convicted of witchcraft and assorted sorcery in the 17th century.

A wicked miscarriage of justice.

Or was it?

In what is believed to have been the last witch trials in the British Isles, the women were convicted in a Carrickfergus court over 300 years ago and spent a year in prison, as well as being put in the public stocks.

Renowned Irish novelist Martina Devlin has penned a new book on the subject, and she also requested that Larne Borough Council erect a small memorial to the women.

….But TUV Alderman Jack McKee has decried the proposal as “anti-God” and said he could not support it.

According to minutes of a council meeting in January, Ald McKee said he “could not tell whether or not the women had been rightly or wrongly convicted as he didn’t have the facts and was not going to support devil worship”.
