Trevor Laffan: Allow pets on public transport? It's a one-way ticket to disaster (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ever wondered what it would be like to take a ride in Noah’s Ark? Well, wonder no more because, very soon, it looks like you will be able to have that experience when animals are allowed to travel on public transport. Human feet on the seat beside you might have left you feeling peeved once upon a time, but that could shortly be the least of your worries. Imagine a Great Dane peering over your shoulder while you try to read your newspaper, drooling on the crossword. Or a little terrier yapping h
Trevor Laffan: The moral dilemmas prompted by the issue of assisted dying (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I heard a discussion recently on the radio about a guy who was in a dilemma. I came into it halfway through, so I missed a lot of the conversation. The gist of it was that he had been asked by a friend of his to do him a favour. Apparently, this guy was terminally ill, and time was running out, but he wanted to go out on his own terms. He didn’t want to be a burden to his wife. When he reached the stage where he was unable to look after himself or the pain became too much, he wanted to have a Pl

I wrote a piece a couple of weeks ago about the poor standard of driving in this country. It was published in The Echo on Monday morning, the day after the crash in Kildare in which five teenagers were killed after driving on the wrong side of the motorway. It seems, judging by some of the comments I received, that readers thought I was referencing that accident. That was not the case. In fact, I had submitted that piece to The Echo a week before that fatal incident. I was merely giving my opini
Trevor Laffan: Maybe it’s time to change how we teach people to drive (opens the original)

In the lead-up to this year’s August bank holiday weekend, An Garda Síochána launched a road safety crackdown amid a rise in road deaths. They advertised and widely promoted the fact that they were set to carry out extensive road policing operations over the weekend, from Thursday to Tuesday. So, unless you happened to be in a coma for the last few weeks, you would have had to be aware that this exercise was taking place. Even if you didn’t see or hear any of the warnings, you would know that th
Trevor Laffan: Where there’s a sport, there’s cheats, and some will prosper (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Premier League football season is almost upon us so it’s time to get ready for a lot of bad acting. Players rolling around the ground feigning injury trying to get a response from the referee. Dropping like a stone after being tipped on the face by a flailing hand as if they had been struck by Mike Tyson. Roaring in agony until the referee’s whistle signals a miraculous recovery. Not only is that kind of play-acting embarrassing, it’s also cheating in my opinion. The Argentinians and the Par
