Ryanair To Raise Peak Baggage Fees (RTE)

“Perhaps you’d be interested in featuring this video
It was made by one of my friends living over in Granada in Spain. The Video is fairly self explanatory but it’s got well over 100,000 views and is rising rapidly over there because it’s been on all their biggest websites and now it’s being shown on some big TV shows. Just thought it might be of interest to you!”

The one on the left silly.

ON Monday, November 11, 1940, the day when Fr John Charles McQuaid, the former president of Blackrock College, was informed that Pope Pius XII was appointing him Archbishop of Dublin and Primate of Ireland, he slipped quietly away from the many visiting dignitaries calling to offer congratulations.

The archbishop-elect drove to Kimmage Manor, a sister house of the Holy Ghost Congregation. Unannounced, he pulled rank on his former superior and took away his own personal file covering his long years studying there for the priesthood.

This was a criminal act of theft. It was Holy Ghost property. It smacked of the action of an unscrupulous control freak. But what dark secrets did McQuaid have to hide that were contained in his file?

This week, McQuaid’s reputation as Dublin’s ‘Great Archbishop’ from 1940 to 1972 has been irretrievably damaged in the light of revelations in the Murphy Commission’s Supplementary Report of at least two separate allegations of child sexual abuse.

 

Godfather Of Cover-Ups’ Feared Going To Hell (John Cooney, Irish Independent)

“As a fan of non-fiction and someone who gets fearful occasionally this book is high on my Christmas wish-list. It tells the reader to stop being afraid and that fear can be harnessed to actually improve our lives. For me in particular this was timely advice. It also shows how seemingly hopeless situations can be resolved.”
