I’m regularly tweaking, adding and removing parts of the site since its grand update last month; the latest include: Adding to the right sidebar (again; feel free to email me or leave a comment with your blog, or any link you think would fit in there – even those that don’t are welcome!) Changing the [...]
Planet Potato captures my feelings perfectly on todays report into the Office of the Attorney General during the statutory rape crisis. With the Dáil taking its summer break now the general opinion is that all of this will be forgotten by late September; this report was nothing more than a token gesture to those who [...]
Just thought I’d point out that the upcoming IRMA singles chart (Friday 7th July) will be the first Irish chart ever to include digital downloads; something I covered in the Sunday Business Post back in April. (this is not an “I told you so”, I swear!) It’s a pretty big move for the music industry [...]
If like me you’re starting out on your career in journalism you may find some things extremely frustrating. Freelancing comes with the baggage of working from the outside, in so that everything you do is hindered somewhat by your out-of-the-loop status and lack of affiliation with a recognised publication. Besides this being new in journalism [...]
The continued rise of the Welsh language in Wales bodes well for Ireland in its fight to preserve the national language. It often seems like an impossible task but the signs are there that with the right action Gaelic can survive, and thrive for many years to come. Critics question the reasoning behind saving the [...]
While studying in Coláiste Dhúlaigh one comcept was repeated to the class on numerous occasions; you encounter stories on a day to day basis, it’s just a matter of spotting and them developing them. For me it was easy to be cynical about this idea; unless you live an amazing life or have direct contact [...]
I’ve been quite quiet over the past few days on the blogging-front despite having numerous topics to discuss however that should all change now that my site update is complete (as you can see… hopefully). It’s almost a year since I registered the domain and hosting and frankly all the action that took place on [...]
Michael McDowell has shown his incompetency on many occasions in the past; he compared Richard Bruton to Joseph Goebbels, he was forced to come down on the issue of children on licences premises, he was forced to back down on café bar licences and he took the law into his own hands by publically connecting [...]
It seems that some bloggers didn’t quite get my point on “monoblogging” the other day, so I think it would be an idea to clarify my point. I’m not saying that too many bloggers are talking about blogs, but that the conversation that follows only seems to get going when the issue is blogging. The [...]
I hate to blog about myself but just to explain the lack of movement here over the last few weeks. I’ve just finished and submitted my final projects for my final year of my degree and have finally returned to Dublin, once and for all (back since Saturday). Couple this final deadline rush with the [...]
