YOUNG BLOODS: MARY SEERY KEARNEY

Date: July 16, 2020 - The Young Bloods

DESPITE forming a “unique, historic” government, as the cliché goes, with Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael is already getting down to the task of readying itself for the next election, putting candidates in place and preparing the publicity campaigns to make sure these candidates are well known. One of these is baby barrister Cllr Mary Seery… Read more »

Date: July 16, 2020 - Moneybags

AFTER YEARS of struggling, 45-year-old Dermot S Smurfit has hit the jackpot with a $50m equity raise, floating on the American Nasdaq market in May, straight from a London AIM listing and right in the middle of the Covid-19 crisis. In the process, he has not just refinanced the company, but opened it to US… Read more »

AIDEN BURNS’S EXIT

Date: July 16, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

IT HAS been heavy going for some of the horseracing bodies in the last couple of years, with scandals and expensive court cases monopolising the time (and money) of both the trainers’ and owners’ representative associations. The Association of Irish Racehorse Owners (AIRO) is now set to come back under the spotlight following the unexpected resignation… Read more »

Bobby Storey

THAT IRA FUNERAL

Date: July 16, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

BOTH SIDES in the row about whether or not Sinn Féin breached Covid-19 regulations at IRA leader Bobby Storey’s funeral have avoided the real issue – and it’s not social distancing, despite the media’s emphasis. There seems little doubt but that SF observed the rule about 30 members in the cortege and also that the… Read more »

REASONABLE RYAN VS SHREWISH MARTIN

Date: July 16, 2020 - Last Refuge

THAT ‘FEMINIST’ statement by Green Party leadership contestant Catherine Martin about Eamon Ryan’s failure to promote more women to cabinet and to the junior ministers’ ranks was a tad disingenuous, although it was cleverly pitched. Far better to dress up such criticism in women’s clothes rather than say straight out that the party leader had… Read more »

MEDIA COWERS BEFORE COWEN

Date: July 16, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

WITH BARRY Cowen having been dumped out of Cabinet, it is interesting to look at the easy ride he got from most opposition parties, not to mention Fianna Fáil’s coalition partners, after his drink-driving story broke. Far-left TD Paul Murphy of Rise was overwhelmed by the media attention he received for the simple reason that… Read more »

MICHAEL HEGARTY’S ADVENTURE

Date: July 16, 2020 - Affairs of the Nation

The sphincter-tightening sight of Red Guard-style humiliation of Micheál Martin’s old pal, agriculture minister Barry Cowen, for a four-year-old drink-driving transgression will not be easily forgotten. Already a sort of ‘let those without sin’ reaction is doing the rounds, with the circulation of an invoice for €3,800 that Martin, when health minister, racked up for… Read more »

Micheál Martin hasn’t got off to a great start, with some of his TDs publicly voicing anger about Cabinet disappointments and controversy about Barry Cowen rumbling on too long.

The new government’s pledge to end oil and gas exploration provoked fuming and snarling from industry executives.
