'The sooner Ireland allows judges power for minimum sentences, the better' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The time has come for the Government to give judges the power to impose minimum sentences in this country. This means the Judge in a murder or rape trial can dictate how long exactly the brute responsible can serve behind bars. A life sentence sadly does not mean a life sentence in this Republic. Instead the scum of our society are being freed after serving between 20 to 22 years on average in custody. After the horrific and shocking murder of young teacher Ashling Murphy, 23, while out jogging
There's one thing that would have Michael Collins turning in his grave (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Michael Collins would be turning in his grave if he knew Ireland was depending on a British warship off the Wicklow coast to defend us last week. Love them or hate them,yes a century after the War of Independence we are dependent on our neighbour across the Irish Sea to protect us from international attack. The Brits for centuries persecuted us but now in this modern, dangerous new world we live in, they are our protectors. We had to ask for their help because we could provide sufficient securit
'You won't see a United Ireland in our lifetime - here's why' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I always thought I might see a United Ireland in my lifetime especially after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement but now I am starting to doubt it.

There was a time when young people in Ireland were terrified of the Gardai but not anymore it seems. In my youthful days in the '60s and '70s, any confrontation with the cops was sorted out with a warning and a clip around the ear. You wouldn't dare give them back cheek for fear of being hauled off to the cells for a night where you were almost certain to get a good hiding. Gardai then, rightly or wrongly, were not snowed under with red tape rules and regulations and tended to sort things out th
If Ireland is serious about road safety this is what must happen (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It seems a day does not go by without someone being killed on our roads. Every time you take your car out you are taking your life in your hands because you don't know what lunatic behind the wheel is coming around the corner. The collision on the M9 which left five teenagers dead and three women and a 7 year old child fighting for their lives should never have happened. The youngsters on a crime spree paid a heavy price for their actions but they were totally irresponsible and reckless. No pare
