Why did it take Michael OâLeary 10 days to cop on that his comments on rape were wrong? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Maybe the newly contrite Michael OâLeary will bring a swear jar to work in Ryanairâs head office. A fiver in the pot for every bad word uttered. Maybe heâll rebrand the company as âthe airline that likes to be niceâ and spend the proceeds from the jar on free flights for passengers. And maybe pigs will fly higher than his 737s. There was the soberness of the convert about OâLeary in last weekendâs video that even the sunflowers in the background could not edify. He looked like the
Justine McCarthy: A little boy gave us two fingers as we protested at Doonbeg, and my heart ached (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Protesting hurts. The ache begins in the lower back after a couple of hours of standing with a placard aloft, but levity proves an excellent panacea. âBe a good Yank and go home,â the Connemara manâs banner inveigled Donald Trump in Doonbeg last weekend. âEveryone has the right to protest,â said a young garda, unlikely to catch anything more untoward than pneumonia on a 12-hour shift. The geniality of his colleague from Castlebar was a legend by lunchtime. How fortunate is Ireland to h
Justine McCarthy: Northern nationalists are right to detect bias from their counterparts in the Republic (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The boozy but stellar movie star Richard Harris used to tell a tale about two newspaper headlines that encapsulated a British double standard about his national identity. âDrunken Irish actor in brawlâ, one headline sneered after a hell-raising night on the town by the Limerick native. âTalented British actor...â bragged the other headline after he won an award. Ireland might laugh, but it can be just as hypocritical about who it regards as authentically Irish. Ask this countryâs citiz
Justine McCarthy: See you in Doonbeg? Iâll be there with my placard to welcome Trump (opens the original)
Read excerpt
All you need is some sturdy cardboard, a marker, a few squiggles of glue, a stick of wood and a pithy slogan. Iâm toying with âBUZZ OFF â YOUâRE NOT OUR TYPEâ, but I may have to rethink it. AI says to keep it under six words for maximum impact. And I want my placard to hit Donald Trump where the sun donât shine â in his dark heart. Iâd been dithering about joining the protests against the US president visiting the Irish Open at his golf course in Clare next weekend. Then I heard
Justine McCarthy: Neither Martin nor Harris dared rebuke the US ambassador. Varadkar had no such qualms (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chuckles rippled through the audience, though no one in the room was quite sure if Leo Varadkar was joking. The former taoiseach was the star speaker on the final day of the Centre for Justice and Law Reformâs summer school last Friday. The question he was asked was if it is embarrassing that Ireland depends on Britain to defend its territory. He answered, to paraphrase, that we need heightened security because weâre next door to Britain. âThey should be paying us danger money,â he concl
