Date: September 10, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

WITH TRANSPARENCY supposedly the preferred way of doing business these days, it is refreshing that some things don’t change that much. Justice minister Helen McEntee recently announced the appointments of lay members to Judicial Council committees and also nominations to the Panel of Inquiry. She congratulated “all those appointed and nominated… Their experience and skill… Read more »

FALSE FLAGS?

Date: September 10, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

HEALTH MINISTER Stephen Donnelly has a lot riding on the testing programme for Covid-19. With reported cases rising recently, there is more focus on the testing procedure itself and Goldhawk was curious about the so-called ‘false-positive’ rate that could skewer the statistics significantly. While there have been concerns raised about the potential inaccuracy of proposed… Read more »

THE FIRST chief of staff of the Provisional IRA, Seán Mac Stíofáin, was a double agent, according to a soon-to-be published book, Deception & Lies, the Hidden History of the Arms Crisis, by barrister David Burke.

BILL HOLOHAN’S SENIOR TITLE

CONGRATULATIONS to Cork legal eagle Bill Holohan, one of those lucky solicitors who managed to get themselves appointed senior counsel under new legislation. Goldhawk is delighted a little mix-up earlier this year didn’t count against the multi-talented Bill.

PACK UP YOUR TROUBLES

Date: September 10, 2020 - Northwind

What is the Irish government doing about the so-called ‘Troubles pension’ in the north? On the evidence available, the answer is ‘absolutely nothing’. Like other agreements reached at meetings chaired jointly by the northern secretary and the foreign affairs minister, Dublin’s involvement seems to have ceased once the agreement was signed.

One of the environmental success stories of recent years is how a cross-border grassroots movement uniting those supposed sworn enemies, farmers and environmentalists, has kept Ireland fracking free.
