In reference to an article "Posted by barry at October 29, 2009 3:49 PM” Barry your 'assumption' that the US military has withdrawn from Nuristan province is completely inaccurate as I'm currently serving in that same province in Nurgaram district. If you were referring to Keating, that was a disaster granted, however, long before that attack the US military was already in the process of moving out and closing that facility anyways. It was not closed due to the attack…

Mr. Baryy,
Thanks for your comments on Afghanistan, it shows how informed your are about Afghanistan. It is off course tragic to see the junkies around your streets, but those junkies are there for a very long time, before Afghanistan came in picture. Where did the heroin came from ten years ago? For sure not from Afghanistan. And Hamid Karzai is an elected president of a free country. The country which fought for its freedom three decades. So before posting such rubbish on internet it is better for you to think twice.

I went back to the hellfire last Sunday and noticed a granite stone just to the North West of the Club and it has a carving in memory of a man who died in 2002. Aged about 60. David, can't remember his surname, but dedicated by family and someone called "Pug". Anyone know anything about this? Interesting to know the dead man's attachment to the place and the significance of having the stone there.

The Inquest did identify the infant (Noeleen Murphy) and her mother (Cynthia Owen). It may have been obvious back in 1973 how the baby died and an inquest was to be held back in 1973 but postposed and re-opened which lead to the Inquest Findings above. The Inquest is held to formally confirm the cause of death, etc.

You'd like to know who appointed the coroner judge and jury????

Do you not understand the point of an Inquest?

The Coroner's purpose is to estblish how someone died. In Cynthia's baby's case he did just that. He estblished that the baby died as a result of stab wounds in your family home.

The 5 family members you refer too, three died of causes unrelated to the case and the other two committed suicide because of the abuse they had suffered. That in itself is back up to Cynthia's story.

Comment on "Climate change in Ireland: The need to move beyond skepticism"

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 14:28:29 +0000

BTW, it's worth pointing out that the IPCC’s estimates (in 2007) for sea level by the end of this century didn't really taking into account the contribution from the melting of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica because the dynamics of the melt were so poorly understood - even now, scientists are running to catch up.

Glacialogists and climatalogists (I've just spent four months working with some of them on Greenland's ice cap, and the Arctic sea ice) are now conducting research that will help them unravel the complicated dynamics that govern and influence the melt of the enormous ice sheets at opposite ends of the planet, their predictions for the rate of sea level rise increase. The IPCC’s 2007 estimate for sea level rise by 2100 is 20-60cm (8-24 inches). Since then, scientists predict sea level will rise one to two meters (3.3 to 6.6 feet)

Hi folks,

I visited the Hellfire Ruin last year when I was studying in Dublin. It was a beautiful sunny day and myself, my friend and our two lady friends decided to take a stroll up the trail and observe the view of Dublin and to check out the ruin of the house.

Me being quite superstitious and intrigued by the paranormal, I must admit I was shitting it at the entrance to the lodge. I had heard of some of the stories surrounding the lodge and of some of the supposed goings on up there.

Anyhow, as myself and my friend spent around 20 minutes looking around the place, I decided it was time to go back outside to our ladies who had politely declined from checking the place out...

But as I turned to go back down the stairs, I saw what I believe to have been an 'orb'... One of those small white dots similar to dust in light. I would have dismissed it as such but for it's movement. From my vantage point looking just over the top of the stairs, this orb popped up, maybe a foot from the ground, made a few irrational movements and then seemingly dissapeared. There was no breeze or wind blowing through that particular section of the upstairs that could have caused it to have been a piece of dust or something so I'm pretty convinced it was something of the other sort...

I was reminded once I had left the house that a few people had committed suicide on the stairs of the house, so that really put the shits up me...

But just my experience, and gospel truth.

Stephen

My dad was fishing at Lord Massey's years ago. It was around dusk and as the sun was setting, he heard a thundering noise, like a horse running, behind him on the banks of the river. When he turned he saw a man in a cape with old style clothing, wearing a strange mask on the back of a horse, about 20 feet away. his horse was dark and was heavy set, like the horses of the olden days. He stopped and looked towards my dad, and the horse reared up on it's back legs. My dad was scared, thinking he had encountered some kind of a nut and he might be dangerous. Not quite knowing what to do, he turned back to his fishing, for a minute, and when he looked back the man and horse had disappeared. He did not hear him gallop off, as he did his arrival. He says this was the scariest thing that happened up there, and his hair stands up oh his neck to this day when he remembers it.

Comment on "Lisbon Treaty 2: Those Ridiculous Coir Posters"

Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:18:57 +0000

The comarison to Hitler has its facts. And that is, that the treaty in big parts has no parlamentary controll. Laws and traty often can be made by the meeting of european prime- ministers.

1933 Hitler made together with the catholic Zentrum- Party, that he could makes laws for 4 years without parliament. Who, except Fritz Gerlich, thought, that thisn would lead to Auschwitz.

The treaty has several reasons for war, which a very undefinated. A clear sentence like in the german constition, that an attac- war must not be, cannot be found in the treaty.

I am a friend of the EU, but not of thisn treaty. The irish people have the chance to save the EU. The politicans should do their homeworks an make a better treaty without unclear formulations an very dangerous protocols, which habe the same level, like the treaty- main part!

Forget the fear-mongering, forget short-term thinking, here's the real question(s) that need to be answered:

"Why is the EU so afraid to let people vote on the Lisbon Treaty if it's so beneficial to everyone? Wouldn't they rather have a strong EU with the support of the people behind them? Aren't they pro-democracy?"

I would humbly ask you to please vote "No", for all our sakes! If, for nothing else, the fact that this is an insult to democracy, freedom and to all the folks who have given their lives in protecting these ideals. No one else in the rest of Europe (400+ million) has had a say in this.

I'm all for a united Europe, but one where the peoples voices are heard and respected - where there is transparency and accountability - not one of arrogance and contempt where they make you 'vote again' until you get it right. Will they have another vote if it's "Yes"?

If that's what the EU wants to become, just another unaccountable layer of bureaucracy - then count me out.

The Lisbon Treaty gives MORE power to the individual member states and their national governments as opposed to taking it away. It gives national governments more of a say in the law-making process, gives small countries like Ireland more of a vote than its population quota would normally demand, and will implement a Citizens' Initiate that grants ordinary citizens the power to make proposals direct to the EU (with 1 million signatures).

It also makes the Charter of Fundamental Rights into law, thus ensuring the rights of all citizens, includings minorities, of the EU.

The comparison to Hitler and the Nazis is naive, ludicrous, and insulting to the intelligence of the Irish people. The EU was set up to avoid the kind of horrors that WW2 entailed and continues to promote equality, solidarity, and the fundamental human rights of all people, everything that Hitler was against.

Pleace vote for democracy and against the treaty of lisbon

Dear irish people!

Pleace stop the treaty of lisbon! Is is antidemocartic, militaristic, antisocial. The disadvantages are much bigger, than the advantages. The EU can live with its actuell laws. They should only be changed into a democratic direction. With the treaty of lisbon, the european council is able to change this treaty in great parts without asking the parliament. This is nearly the same law, which mades the nationl- rassistic- party of Germany so powerfull in our country in the year 1933. Our basic law (the german constitution) and all other european constitutions should not be replaced by the treaty of lisbon. But the new treaty tries to bring all right- sytstems in a lower level than the new european right. Here is my informationpage: http://sites.google.com/site/euradevormwald/english . When you have some more english information, pleace send me a link or text or write it into the visitors book of my page. And pleace spread this text all over Ireland.
