Arlene Foster

THE VIEW FROM ‘UP THERE’

Date: February 13, 2020 - Northwind

That now famous exit poll on the night of 8 February, which horrified Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, contained a lot more information than merely voting intentions. People were asked what their most important issues were. There were no surprises: health, housing, pensions, jobs, the economy. The north was nowhere as everyone knew. Yet during… Read more »

IBEC VS SINN FÉIN

Date: February 13, 2020 - Last Refuge

IBEC HEADS were in shock when the Shinners came top of the Irish Times pre-election poll. After decades of lecturing workers on the need “to embrace change and workplace flexibility”, this was a step too far for the Taylorist technocrats and six-sigma managers who embrace the tax-avoiding multinationals. Director general cum CEO Danny McCoy was… Read more »

‘INDO’ ATTACKS POLITICAL BIAS

Date: February 13, 2020 - Fit to Print?

MEDIA REACTION to Fine Gael’s election meltdown plunged to further depths the day before the general election when the Irish Independent front page “revealed” that Fianna Fáil’s Jim O’Callaghan had previously worked as a barrister for Gerry Adams.

FORMER MINISTER Conor Lenihan was introduced, humorously, to RTÉ’s Election 2020 programme last Sunday as personifying the only Russian influence in the general election.

GREEN ON GREEN

Date: February 13, 2020 - Fowl Emissions

It was supposed to be the climate election, but the shade of green that came to dominate Election 2020 was that of republicanism rather than ecology. Amid all the understandable brouhaha about Sinn Féin’s electoral breakthrough, the Greens’ Lazarus act is almost as remarkable. It entered the ill-starred coalition with Fianna Fáil in 2007 with… Read more »

Has veteran economist Prof John FitzGerald been outfoxed by the Irish Farmers’ Association (IFA)? FitzGerald, who chairs the government-appointed Climate Change Advisory Council (CCAC), perhaps unwisely accepted an invitation to speak at an IFA event on agri emissions in January.
