Advance Pitstop are clearly using as a systematic way to obtain cheap labour. The guidelines state that you can only offer an internship where the company has vacancies in that area. So Advance PitStop has no vacancies for sales fitters yet they require 28 interns. I refuse to accept the fact that they have work for 30 interns but have no vacancies in that area…

This morning at St. Anne’s Church, Shandon, Cork city.

By Stiofan O’Rian.

But HOW on earth did he DO that?

Stiofan explains:

Pick a spot, find the north star (it’s no closer on the northside, unfortunately), aim the camera in that direction. Take 150 photos over an hour while trying to keep warm, passing the time by talking to drunk people walking by and overhearing arguments with taxi drivers. Then go home and stack all of the photos on top of each other so that the trail of stars can be seen. The only editing is in lining all the dots alongside each other – the rotation of the earth does the rest.

Crikey.

A new party brandishing a naughty acronym.

But what do they stand for?

Our party intends to create a reformed Seanád which will oversee the actions of the Dáil in order to hold politicians and public office holders to account bringing to an end end corrupt practices in public life. This will be based on a legislative framework as set out in our Citizen’s Charter {see link below.

In order to decrease the instances of “parish pump” style politics we will also significantly decrease the number of T.D.’s while increasing the size of electoral constituencies.
We will also legislate to create a greater divide between the service functions of local and national governance and develop greater local accountability for delivery.

In order to create the conditions for job creation we need to leave the Euro in order to regain control over monetary policy which is a key factor in economic recovery.

We will impose a two year moratorium on economic migration to Ireland. It is ridiculous to engage in open border policies while record numbers emigrate from the country and almost 500,000 people are either unemployed or on training courses.

Once the economy recovers we will institute a balanced immigration policy, similar to those in other countries, which will only allow those who will benefit our country to enter but will reduce competition with citizens for job opportunities and social supports.

Ah.

Rigid, inward-facing NIPS.

Nobody’s favourite kind, in fairness.

On this dreary January Tuesday, I think everyone would like some good news. The new school year has begun in Rwanda, and the primary school ‘Friends of the Children International School’ opened its new 6th classroom and now has 216 students.
Friends of the Children school was built with Irish help by the Rwandan Children’s Project and caters for orphans and poor kids from the impoverished Rwamagana region. Every child gets a healthy meal in school, and for some it is a lifesaver.
