Allowing Sectarian Groups of Civil Servants to Shape Government Policy is an Affront to Democracy Tue Jun 17, 2025 09:00 | David Shipley
If there's one thing more shocking than the head of the Civil Service Muslim Network making antisemitic remarks, says David Shipley, it's that such sectarian groups shaping Government policy is now entirely normal.

The Link Between Asylum Seekers and New Rape Gang Cases Will Fuel Public Anger Tue Jun 17, 2025 07:00 | Laurie Wastell
A significant proportion of live rape gang cases involve asylum seekers and non-UK nationals. This bombshell finding of the Casey report piles outrage upon outrage and will fuel public anger, says Laurie Wastell.

Part 2: Galway Student Protest 18 11 2010
In a heartening move, Dr. Kelly Davidson has given solid support to the Dept. of Finance protesters and short shrift to the likes of Ferdinand von Prondzynski.
Hi,
I would just like to add my name in support of the letter of solidarity issued by the NUIM IFUT Branch Committee to those students who took part in the Dublin demonstration on 3 November.
It has been, and continues to be, a privilege to know and work with a number of the extremely engaged, ethical, socially aware and compassionate young people from my own institution who were active in the wholly legal and legitimate actions of civil disobedience that have subsequently been so misrepresented in the mainstream Irish media.
That Ferdinand von Prondzynski has criticised both the students involved and those academics who support them simply points to the growing disconnect between those who have had authority conferred upon them to represent third level education in the public arena, and those of us who are dealing with the reality of privatisation, and rationalisation on the ground.
As the NUIM IFUT letter states, such criticisms indicate a shameful betrayal of the principles of education, and of the staff and students that any third level ‘President’ is engaged to serve.
With very best wishes,
Dr. Kelly Davidson,
TUI member, IADT Branch
The Independent is reporting that: Students at Dublin City University (DCU) have voted by a huge majority against re-joining the Union of Students in Ireland (USI).
Apart from DCU, the other colleges outside the national union are the University of Limerick and Cork Institute of Technology.
At the end of this RTE newscast (start at 7:10), Yousuf can be witnessed doing his stuff for Free Education for Everyone.
FEE salutes him. http://www.rte.ie/player/#v=1085178
In a report in today's Irish Times by Lorna Siggin's titled Students march in Galway pre-budget protest, her last sentence struck and dismayed me: A grouping from the Free Education for Everyone Galway movement asked to speak at the rally, but said its request was turned down. What's happening here.? This seem to be overt censorship.? Would anyone from the Free Education for Everyone Galway movement care to comment.?
Bad form on behalf of USI not letting a FEE member address the crowd, considering, FEE put in a lot of work to get NUI Maynooth reaffiliated to USI last year.
