sirenSiren, the feminist magazine that took issue (and they weren’t alone) with an especially strident and misleading Youth Defence poster last Summer, launched an online edition today.

On the site at the moment, we have: an article by Darragh McCausland on being stalked for a decade by a stranger called The Intensity of Her Stare, an article by Michael Garvey on growing up gay in Ireland called Playing House, a piece from our print edition by Megan Nolan on friendship after a big relationship called Looks Like We Made It, and two photo essays by Cait Fahey, one called That’s Mine on her relationship with her brother, and one titled A Vision in Purple on women standing against domestic violence in the Irish Islamic Cultural Centre.

Crikey.

You may allow it to lure you onto the rocks here.

“Three miles South of Baltimore Micheal Cottrell, spotted a new humpback while out working at sea. Later both Youen Jacob and Simon Duggan confirm this young animal to be a new humpback whale previously unrecorded in Irish waters. Name to follow and normally picked by who spotted him/her first. Any suggestions?”

If you’re not working currently and have a family and a mortgage or whatever the pay rates don’t come anywhere near social welfare benefits.
There’s zero incentive really to take these positions. Why do they need to be filled anyway? Pay cuts coming to save the exchequer a few bob and now they’re hiring…
