an bhfuil aon bhealach ann mo chuid Gaeilge ar fad a dhíbirt go sealadach as m'intinn, bliain faoin tor a bheith agam, agus ansin lasc a bhrú chun í a fháil ar ais

‘Bliain saor le pá’ ag teastáil d’oibrithe na hearnála poiblí chun feabhas a chur ar a gcuid Gaeilge

Má tá an stát chun an sprioc earcaíochta atá san Acht Teanga a bhaint amach deir an ceardchumann Fórsa go dteastaíonn tuilleadh deiseanna oiliúna agus nár chóir gur obair bhreise d’oibrithe a bheadh s...

Re: Connolly's comments a decade ago on EU/Brexit, her diagnosis of many underlying problems is correct - although her conclusions I severely disagree with.

However, again the response from some quarters has been essentially screaming "all criticism of the EU is inherently bad!". Unserious.

Fíor duit. Feictear dom gur minic a théann iriseoirí sa tóir ar scúp mór agus nuair nach bhfaigheann siad a raibh uathu, foilsíonn siad scéal easnamhach gan téagar cibé. É sin, nó déanann siad drochobair gan náire (scéal na mná úd)

Is cuimhin liom go raibh pobalbhreith ann roinnt blianta ó shin inar fiafraíodh faoin ngairm a raibh an míchlú is mó tarraingthe uirthi mar gheall ar Twitter agus ba iad na comhfhreagraithe polaitíochta a bhain an chéad áit amach go héasca. Seans nár tuigeadh an nasc dlúth leis an rialtas roimhe sin

Sin an chúis is mó a gcoinním súil ar an áit eile, is deacair muinín a chur san eolas a scaipeann an Indo agus an IT go háirithe.
Fadhb eile atá ag dul in olcas ná an líon iriseoirí a fhaigheann post le hairí rialtais nó a raibh baint dhíreach acu le rialtas eile roimhe seo.

The Iona Institute are a think tank that have stumbled on the grift that if your opinions are awful enough, the media will pay you to promote them rather than vice versa.

All the talk about how many column inches would be dedicated to her, had overlooked that they could just give her a column of her own.

It's cool though. Now if I want the Iona Institute's view on things I can read Steen or Quinn in the Indo, or O'Brien in the Irish Times

Maria Steen: Significant spoilt vote in presidential election would embarrass the Government
After Jim Gavin’s exit, there is no good reason not to restart this lacklustre contest

An imní is mó atá orm ná na daoine a fhaigheann a gcuid nuachta go díreach ó na nuachtáin agus nach bhfaigheann a thuilleadh comhthéacs ó fhoinsí eile ar líne (ráiteas Bharra na hÉireann mar shampla)

Níor thuig mé go raibh Ivan Yates ag crochadh thart go fóill agus gur tugadh cluas "éisteachta" dó.

The Bar of Ireland.

Bar of Ireland Statement
It is the duty of barristers to be independent and free from any influence, especially such as may arise from their personal interests or external pressure, in the discharge of their professional duties as barristers.

Barristers cannot discriminate in favour of or against any person availing, or seeking to avail, of the services of the barrister on the grounds of race, colour, sex, sexual orientation, language, politics, religion, nationality, national or social origin, national minority, birth or other status.

It is also the duty of barristers to accept instructions in any case in their area of practice. As a result, barristers should not be identified with their clients or their clients’ causes or suffer adverse consequences as a result of being so identified. This fundamental principle arises from the Code of Conduct of The Bar of Ireland and is recognised in the United Nations Basic Principles on the Role of Lawyers and in the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of the Profession of Lawyer.

The duty of barristers to accept instructions, sometimes referred to as the “cab-rank rule”, ensures that everyone is entitled to access to justice and is central to trust in the Irish legal system and the rule of law.

Tuigim nach aon scéal mór é "Déanann X a jab" ach is deas Catherine Connolly a chlos ar chlár na Cáinaisnéise ar RnaG mar sin féin. Bheadh sé easca go maith di cuid dá dualgaisí a ligint i ndearmad agus diúltú do chuirí dá leithéid.

There was much detail in the Indo about the investigative efforts the paper made in uncovering Gavin’s behaviour. What the newspaper and its editorial staff did not say is that the scoop was handed on a plate to them by Gavin’s tenant who happens to be a fellow colleague in Mediahuis, owner of the Indo and various titles, including the Sunday World. That former tenant is the deputy editor of the World, Niall Donald.
