Peter Mathews at the pro-life rally in Merrion Square, Dublin,  on Saturday.

Dublin South TD Peter Mathews told the Irish Independent: “I will do what I have to do and that is vote against the bill.”

…He made his pledge after Taoiseach Enda Kenny rejected a call from Diarmuid Martin, the Archbishop of Dublin, for TDs to be given a free vote on the contentious proposals.

Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin has given his TDs a free vote, although this was against his original wishes and was granted largely to avoid a damaging split in his parliamentary party.

Edward Snowden, the preternaturally calm 29-year-old source behind the biggest intelligence leak in the US National Security Agency’s history, is interviewed by the Guardian in Hong Kong.

“I carefully evaluated every single document I disclosed to ensure that each was legitimately in the public interest,” he said. “There are all sorts of documents that would have made a big impact that I didn’t turn over, because harming people isn’t my goal. Transparency is.”

Alex Jones and David Aaronovitch appeared on the BBC’s Sunday Politics yesterday to discuss the Bilderberg Group’s meeting in Watford.

A classic shouty Alex Jones performance by all accounts.

Andrew Neil was more than able for him.
