My view on the Garda Commissioner actions.
When I was 18 years old I used organize a Disco in the old schoolhouse on Church Avenue in Blanchardstown for local GAA kids who were barred from entry in the hops in Castleknock Tennis Club because of their Blanch addresses.
Then as now I believed in the GAA ideal ,active participation in which has caused me substantial material loss over a lifetime ,but je ne regret rien.
Around that time in the early seventies there was a small Garda presence in Blanchardstown and most of the Country Guards who landed there played football and hurling with Saint Brigids of which I was a devoted member.
The Gardai I knew were all sound as I had been reared to believe.Until I saw what follows.
There used be a 6 foot wall in front of the Olld Shool house and a narrow entrance space no more than three feet wide in the wall in front of the door into the schoolhouse,so that you could only see what was happening on the road onto which the entrance opened at that point.What was going down either side of the entrance in the wall you could hear but not see unless you looked around the entrance.
One Saturday night after 11.00 p.m ,the closing time of the disco ,I finished the music for the night ,saw everybody out,turned the lights down and stayed behind for a sneaky fag.To all intents and purposes the building was empty.
I was startled to suddenly hear the agonized screams of a child somewhere to the side of the road entrance to the hall,so I creeped towards the entrance and looked at the source of the disturbance and boy did I get the shock of my life.
Maybe ten yards to the right of the school entrance there was and is a pathway then called the car road and now Mary Brennan Park I think ,which enabled a short cut from Church Road to the Main Street.It was poorly lit then.
What I clearly saw then was two Guards I knew kicking and beating the shite out of a young lad no more than 12 years of age.He was calling them Culchies and the more he did the more they beat him.He was a member of a local and poor family and to this day I AM ASHAMED OF MYSELF THAT I DID NOT INTERVENE.
The truth is that Iwas so shocked at what I thought were upstanding citizens behaving in such a thuggish manner that I was stuck to the spot as it were.
Like the coward I was really I waited until they went off and helped the brutalized young lad clean up his wounds and saw him home.
These guys have no idea that I SAW what they did to this day but one guy might wonder just why I, within GAA rules .lorried him out of it with a legitimate tackle .in a match a number of years later.
The point is that these two guys had two sides to their personality's, one reserved for people like me and another for people like the Skinner.
IT IS A LESSON i HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN.
Since then I have met many people in Public Service ,including the Gardai ,who were well reared and sound and a minority who are thuggish,sneaky and dishonorable and deceptive.
I have no doubt but that the whistle blowers are the well reared guys who have no moral option but to speak out,
I am not saying that the Garda Commissioner is one of the other type asI know nothing about her,but general;ly it should surprise no body that the possibility exists that people that attain high office can be cunning,deceptive and self serving.
What was it Charles said about Bertie.

What was it Charles said about Bertie.
Loads to do.
I have a long list of Tributes to do,a long list of GAA Match reports to write up,much to say on the perpetual persecution of the inhabitants of rural Ireland by the authorities ,including the active connivance of Government Departments in making families homeless ,the joke that is the Government's handling of the Garda Commissioner's activities and the despair that Fianna Fail's support of Ministers and Juniors ,some of whom you wouldn't put in charge of a bee hive.
Not to mention the vile pagan /Atheist,hereafter to be called the Patheist ,influence on society via the media,academia,the Presidency and the so called leftist politician s.
I need your prayer to give me the time and inspiration to attend to these tasks.
Last but not least any society that bans homeless people from using the public roadside seek shelter on ,.especially a society that saw mass evictions during a relatively recent famine when millions died of hunger and without shelter ,does not deserve to survive ans is purely patheistic in law.

Tribute to Vincent Clarke,Dunderry.
Around Dunderry we have known for some time that Vincent was under severe pressure health wise..He had lung cancer as far as I know and had a lung or part of it removed some time ago.In his eighties the wise decision was made not to have further surgery nor too intrusive treatment.
As was his wont the first Dunderrian Dub,his wife Vera being the second,Maureen Yourell being third and mise a poor fourth,Vincent motored on in good humour despite his failing health and never became downbeat after his prognosis .
I have never seen him flustered and he continued in this vein right up to the end of his well lived life.
He was the real thing as far as Dubs go, being either from the Liberties or Ormond Square as far as I know --himself and his wife Vera had both historic areas covered --and was a part of what was Dublin in the rare old times and never lost his Dublin accent nor his love for the city,
Don't know how he came to live in Dunderry but he and his family took to it like a duck to water and I never heard of him expressing any interest to live elsewhere.
Last week our AOIFE ,who is involved with a group of musicians who play from time to time in hospitals and nursing homes, happened to be in Navan Hospital and at the request of his family played solo renditions of Raglan Road and Amazing Grace for him as he lay waiting the Call from the Man above.I understand that things got very emotional and we knew that his time was short.
And so it came to pass.
Vincent and Vera ,as far a I know met through the Legion of Mary and 11 children were born to them of which 10 survive to this day.I don't know them all but do know most of them and they are bang on to a man and a woman.
He was a master welder and could turn his gifted hands to any task.Just as well as raising the spondulocks to feed ,clothe and support such a large brood cannot have been an easy task but raise them he did and he did it well.
Of course he wasn't alone in this and God only knows how Vera managed to stretch his wages to meet every bodies needs.
Now while Vincent and Vera became especially devout in latter years ,hosting Prayer Groups and being especially devoted to Mary ,they were by no means crawthumpers entirely and when money and circumstance allowed ,which admittedly wasn't often ,knew how to let rip on a minor scale and as the brood took flight had a jar or two.But always very demurely.
Vincent wasn't a GAA man.The constraints of space in central Dublin make it more suitable for soccer and this was his sport of choice.He was instrumental in forming the now defunct soccer team in Dunderry and the soccer jersey was presented as a gift during the Funeral Mass in a packed Church last Thursday.
This didn't stop his sons Vincent Junior,aka China and Damien a.k.a.Swiss ,excelling at hurling and football and Olivia also swung a caman with menace in her youth.
His two grand daughter Danielle and Kate are fine Camogie players too as I well know ,having trained them in the dark arts as is a grandson Garry who also played hurling with Dunderry.
Swiss is still a fine footballer and was good enough to represent his County ,an achievement of which his father was extremely proud as he quietly confirmed to me many times.And why wouldn't he be.
Don't have first hand knowledge of the sporting prowess of his older children as they were past their sporting primes when I moved to Dunderry to live but no doubt they were cut from the same cloth.
I have lived in Dundeerry since 1986 and in all that time have never heard a wrong word said against Vincent Clark and have personally found him and Vera and their entire flock to have been above reproach and the essence of decency.
I was glad to see that a minutes silence was observed this evening before the League match against Ballinagree in his honour in the Pitch.
We sympathize with his wife,siblings .children ,grand children , great grand children and all his relative and friends in their great sorrow.

Dunderry 1-12 St.Pauls 2-6 JFB CH.
Played in a deserted Bective on 14th inst .this match most definitely didn't have the tension that matches between these teams had in the 1970's when competition between the Clubs was at an all time high..
Then thousands would have attended the matches to savour the craic.
Perhaps the organisers of the match last week thought that the old tmes had returned and that people were willing to pay 8 hard earned Euros in memory of times gone bye.
Yes this was the admission fee to see a Junior B football match.
Maybe the people who set the fee at this level believe all this shit about the recovery lifting all boats and perhaps they are operating under the illusion that that the few followers and supporters Dunderry have left these days are willing to do without the necessities of life to pay such an outrageous admission fee to follow their team..
Well they are wrong.Never again will I go to such a match at such a fee.This is an insult to genuine supporters and will see to it that future matches are played to empty stadiums.If this type of overcharging nonsense is persisted with soon no one will go there at all.
Bective was in fine fettle.
TEAM WAS.

There was no rancour at all in the match and referee Ennis from Longwood had it handy,Nothing to blow up for.The first half was tit for tat and a point separated the teams at half time .
The second half was more lively as Manager Goff and assistant Leavy freshened up the team and made some positional changes and we took complete control.Pauls launched a late surge and nearly caught us on the hop but we just about held out.
The number 8 was surely in vogue on the night.The excessive entrance fee was E.8 .00.And Grainne Dowd was training three gasuns togged out in full Dunderry gear,.her own two and Liam Rattigan ,all of whom wore the number 8 on their backs,on the sideline before the match started,.
And Pat Goff didn't have to don the number 8 ON THIS OCCASION TO MAKE UP A TEAM,which feat he had to repeat since against OLDCASTLE IN THE LEAGUE ,WHEN WE AGAIN FAILED TO MUSTER THe REQUISITE NUMBER OF BODIES ,AT THIS LEVEL.
Actually Pat can't have been a million miles away from playing against Pauls in the seventies ,when I think of it.
Disgracefully for the first time in two decades and despite the major increase in population ,we are bereft of Minor Teams in Dundrry this year. .An absolute disaster and those past Officers responsible ought hang their heads in shame.
A look at the age profile of this team is instructive in this regard.
Lucky enough three gasuns mentioned above and their team mates brought home the under 12 laurels since.

Vicious Face book campaign hsas inevitable result.
For some time now a vicious and dangerous campaign has been mounted against one the most decent and long established families in the Parish over the shooting of a dog or dogs on the land of the family on which land there were livestock.
I don't know the ins and outs of the incident but the Mulligan family have been abused horribly on the Internet by so called neighbours and many more who have jumped on the bandwagon of verbal abuse.
Inevitably this ridicule bore fruit when the house wall ,cobbles and gates of the Mulligan House on the Meadstown Road was splashed with scarlet paint over the weekend.
I don't know who did this but this a new low for this Parish .
To make it worse a few neighbours trying to clear up the mess were taunted by a female motorist who mocked them by saying she would gladly treat the criminal who did this to a drink for his or her actions..
The lowest of the low and the planting of bad blood for generations.
This will fester.

Dunderry now Meath Capital of Fir Breaga
This last week the Village of Dunderry has about 6 extra inhabitants who don't move at all and to the uninitiated who believe in the undead are fairly scary.Life size figures both male and female are tied to assorted uprights and lie on public benches absolutely unmoving.Nearest to me is the Colander girl......the top of her head is a colander.She resides opposite Horans pub door and she is in risk of attack by some boozed up love hungry bachelor who has a hunger for women and whose eye sight is shot
Being made from straw she might not feel distressed but you never know,
Around the corner near the school a huge jockey is astride a tiny rocking horse and outside Geraghtys a stout straw man faced in plastic like the rubber bandits lies on a bench sleeping off an excess of stout.
Outside the GAA Club an attractive camogie player swings her caman.
I don't know whether those who dreamt up the scary crow competition which will take place during the Fair on Sunday drew inspiration from my Fir Breaga ...the Irish for SCARE CROW.. from my articles in Dunderryderumbeat.com whereby I have described various public figures who broke their word as scarecrows....false men ....but there is no doubt that the manufacture of these straw beings has caught on hereabouts .
The imaginations of Dunderrians is limitless and I expect a big entry in the competition on Sunday.
As most of the Fir Breaga I have identified over the years are politicians of various hues and as I don't wish to offend people I won't be entering an exhibit but my kids and grandchildren will.
A good day is promised and you should come if ye can.

The ARC IS BACK IN DUNDERRY
I made reference to the sighting of an Arc similar to the Biblical one in Dunderry earlier this year.
It has sailed through the Village then and returned today empty to pick up another cargo hold full of the spoiled ,spiteful .work shy ,insulting ,over educated semi degenerates of a certain age who think it cool to piss on the values their parents hold sacred by sneering at their beliefs whilst simultaneously bowsieing their meals and lodgings from the very parents they despise so blatantly.
Too lazy to dirty their hands with work less it interfere with their obsessive and consuming addictions to Social Media these spoiled brats think the World owes them a living and were over represented on last night's RTE Programme which purported to showcase the view of Ireland by giving undue credence to a cohort of hand picked bowsies who pissed on the ideals for which decent men and women sacrificed their lives100 tears ago.
But then it is totally in keeping with a Station which is awash with the type of broadcaster who falsely accused a decent man of being a paedo just because he was a Priest and who paid dearly for this most gross violation of human rights.
Maybe this utterly hateful broadcast was part of a continuing pattern of revenge on Catholics Ireland for being caught out by the Courts over that Programme.
With one or two exception those profiled on the show were more reminiscent of NERO and Herod in their rantings than the vast bulk of their generation who are are interested in earning their keep and contributing taxes through their labours than living like bowsies and expecting the rest of us to be in awe of the nonsense they spout .
Their semi Socialist ideology is best summed up in the old definition of SOCIALIST AS SOMEONE WHO HAS SWEET F.A. AND WANTS TO SHARE IT WITH EVERYBODY.
The abuse the Catholic faith and practise got left me with some idea of how the Jews must have felt under Hitler and would no doubt justify ISIS in their practises of modern day Crucifixion of Catholics in their area of influence.
However it is good to have a permanent record of who exactly these spewers of hate are so appropriate legal action can be taken when the time arrives to call the bigots to account.
Dunderry have used the Pitch only once since the start of the year.It is awash.
And it has rained non stop yesterday and today.Depressing.
Actually there would be only a few of the types I castigate around this place so the ARC WILL BE HEADING FOR THOSE AREAS WHENCE THOSE THAT ROB US CONTINUOUSLY RESIDE ,WHERE IT WILL EASILY BE FILLED UP BY THE TYPE OF WASTER WHO I DESCRIBE ABOVE.

Kill one every Sunday,
My uncles were serious GAA men.Then ,as now ,decisions of certain referees drove them crazy..
I once heard one of them saying that a referee should be shot every Sunday,only half joking.
Bit extreme said I and how would you pick him.
Wouldn't matter really how they were picked .At random would be fine and it would surely concentrate the minds of the rest of them and improve performance.
Should be applied to politicians daily now until a Government is formed.
And if FF DON'T SEE TO IT THAT THE water charge and Property TAX ARE ABOLISHED they are finished for all time,Simple as.

Caught Rapid
After a hard day the Judge....not Dermot Dempsy I hasten to add......went on the beer hard.He overdid it ,got locked and got sick all over himself.
His driver dropped him off at his home and pulled off pronto as Mrs Judge was an anti drink harridan and more likely than not would blame the driver for leading her husband astray.
Fortunately she was in bed asleep and he found a spare bed and slept it off.
Next morning he was gone at daybreak and headed to Court to avoid her interrogation and muster his excuses.
At 12.30 she rang and asked what the hell happened his clothes of yesterday.
To tell the truth said he this notorious bowsie was before me yesterday ,drunk as a skunk ,at a late sitting and he puked all over me.
He will be back before me this evening and I will give him 6 months.
Wouldn't.t be enough said she .Give him 12 months,He shit in your britches as well.

The Steam Horn
1930's Ireland was a tough place to live in.With the Brit's customs levy on cattle imported from Ireland so great as to make their export prohibitive, the Irish economy nose dived and money was as scarce as hen's teeth.
But cometh the hour cometh the man.
Twinnie Byrne was hewn from the rock on which the Black Quarry is nested and was as hard as nails and just as driven.
He was a cabinet maker and a perfectionist to boot.He made furniture of the highest standard and of lasting endurance.It was much in demand especially in hard times,believe it or not.
Gradually he expanded until he employed over 250 men all under the one roof ,expert tradesmen all and above all punctual to a fault.
A job with Twinnie was much sought after and carefully minded.
Twinnie watched everything in microscopic detail,never relenting .Firm but fair.
A steam horn blasted off at 9.00 a.m. each morning and 6.00 .p.m.each evening.Woe to anyone who failed to meet the signals for starting and quitting.
Then the Padna Riley got the start.He was good enough at the cabinet making but not great at the time keeping in the morning.
His lateness grew from 5 minutes up to 30 on occasion.Twinnie saw all.
He was fuming and one morning planted himself behind a row of planks stacked adjacent to the entrance door to the factory in such a position that he could see all but was hidden from view himself.
20 minutes after kick off the Padna saunters up in no particular hurry.
Twinnie nabbed him and in his grating falsetto voice started to berate him for his lack of punctuality his voice rising the further he went.
All the windows in the factory were wide open and 250 men were as silent as the night listening intently and as Twinnie's voice rose higher the could hear snatches like "Time is fucking money, my money "and "Collect your wage packet now and don't come back".And then the Padna pleading for one more chance.
Twinnie relented screaming "And remember Padna as long as work here you come in on the horn and go home on it."
And 250 men rolled around the floor with laughter AND LIFTED THE CEILING WITH ONE HUGE CHEER.
That cured the Padna.
But cometh the hour cometh the man.

Blueshirts and Abortionists continue termination of entire families.
It is a source of mystery to me how the electorate dumped so few candidates of the Fine Gael/Labour Coalition considering their utter disregard for the living unborn and born unsheltered,who they appear to be dead set on persecuting.
I m sick to the teeth of mouthy chipmunk females and macaroon male mouthpieces and their utter false expressions of concern for decent families they have destroyed and are now routing by taking the most basic of commodities from them ,namely their homes.
When these bousies arise from their prayer mats after venerating Cromwell each morning they must be elated at the increasing numbers of citizens they are hourly sacrificing to the speculators and the vulture fund capitalists to whom they have encouraged the Banks to sell the loans at a discount.
If these charlatans don't go to Hell there is no such place.

Murphy's War.
Murphy joined the Irish Navy in 1969 ,just in time for the Troubles to break out in Ulster,when certain of the Citizens had their bellies full of institutionalised discrimination and took up arms against a Statelet and an Empire that revelled in persecuting them and the Provisional IRA was born.
Like the vast bulk of the populace in the Republic I sat on the ditch and was too cowardly to help my fellow Irishmen out,taking my lead from successive Governments in the Republic.
Anyhow the logo of the Provos was not dissimilar to that displayed by the Irish Navy as Murphy found out when he was sent to a secret Royal Navy base in England to participate in deep sea training in facilities not available in Ireland at the time.
Himself and a handful of other Irish trainees were unmercifully bullied and intimidated by the so called hosts because the were Irish ,because thy were members of a mickey mouse Navy ,because of the similarity of the logos and finally because of the killing of their compatriots by the Paddy terrorists---THEIR WORDS.
It finally came to a head when the prime bully and his acolytes planted a cardboard box containing a ticking clock marked as a bomb under Murphy's bed and found it hilarious.
Enough was enough.
Soon afterwards Murph found himself alongside the prime bully at the bottom of a deep water tank with deep sea diving equipment attached.
As part of the exercise to preserve oxygen they were instructed to doze off .Seemingly you use less of it when dozing than when awake.
And off they dozed ,save Murphy.
When chief bully was sound asleep with legs wide apart,Murph grabbed them .twisted them and squeezed as hard as possible.Yer man coughed off his mask and air nozzle ,gulped a belly full of water and surfaced too quick to the surface thereby suffering the bends.
So I am told.
No more bullying.

And so it came to pass.
The initial election results fully support my analysis in a recent article in this blog .I am far more in touch with ordinary ,indeed extraordinary people ,than all the pollsters and the secular,anti Catholic ,agnostic and intellectual groupies of the discredited Labour Party and decrepit auld wagons that populate the newspapers and RTE AND TV3.
I hope now that the first acts of the next Government is to revoke all the anti Religious regulations that the vile Labour Party and the Cromwellian Fine Gael Party of the rich and greedy snuk through in the dying days of the unfairest administration of the State since a previous Government dragged unconvicted prisoners from jail and shot them without trial.
No way should Fianna Fail either enter into nor support any Government involving Fine Gael.
The Parties of the left now have the ball at their feet.If they can stay in the same room long enough to avoid an internectine bloodbath thy ought be given the space to form a Government and put their money where their huge mouths are.
Sinn Fein should cease its war against the unborn and widen its electorate base.
Water charges and Property taxes should be immediately abolished and the dictatorial powers given the Revenue to steal from the wages of the employed and the welfare payments of the unemployed rescinded.
Let no one believe that any of these Parties paid a single penny towards the raising of the minimum wage .
They simply imposed them on employers and ultimately on the general public who are the customers of these employers.
And God willing I will run in the forthcoming rerun within 6 months,

No recovery for meter readers.
We all know the meter readers who visit our houses and read the meters for Electric Ireland formerly the ESB.
Betcha ya didn't know that these people are self employed sub contractors to the ESB WHO HAVE TO SUPPLY TAX CLEARANCE to the ESB every year.
Ye would also understand that if their contracts are terminated that they have no entitlements to the dole etc.
Well under this so called caring Government their contracts are about to be terminated and they will be thrown on the scrap heap,some after 30 years.
Another reason for the whingers to vote for Fine/Gael /Labour.

Apologies to supporters who voted for me .
I was humbled that I received almost 400 first preference votes in the last General Election considering that I only put up two posters and had no Party Machine to back me up.Nor did I have any financial backing save a few bob from one only concerned citizen.
Given that the most humble Councillor spends upwards of E.30,000.00 in election expenses to get elected to the Council ,as far as I can gauge ,the mind boggles at what it costs to run a campaign for the Dail.
I 'm not in that category and actually the decisive factor in my decision not to run was the fact that the campaign clashes with the lambing season and even though I have feck all sheep I cannot afford to to subcontract it out.
I,d say I know everybody who voted for me and I' d like to give them a big thanks and I'd also like to thank those who have approached me and expressed sorrow at the fact that I am not running this time around.
If the Man above grants me the health ,physical and mental to do so in the future I may return.
Having said that I fully intend to vote in the Election and am in the process of deciding who to vote for.
I most definitely will not be voting for the following candidates who have either voted in favour of abortion or whose parties wish to revisit the 8 th amendment to reconsider the equal right to life of the mother and the unborn child viz;-
Peadar Tobin ,who personally voted against abortion but whose Party's policy is to repeal the 8th amendment.Pity he wouldn't leave Sinn Fein and then I could vote for him.
Damian English voted in favour of abortion so he is out.
Likewise Ray Butler.
Similarly the Labour Party is totally committed to the murder of the innocent unborn so Tracy Mc Elhinney is out.
As are the Green Party whose policy is to repeal the 8th amendment and whose candidate is Seamus Mc Menamin and who I believe is a medical doctor .
Alan Lawesss DDI is against keeping the 8 th amendment so he too is out.
Shane Cassells and Trevor Golden have made no declaration on the matter so their position is unclear.
The one man who has stated that he supports the 8th amendment is Independent John Malone so he gets my vote as things stand.
This matter aside my views on the Parties are as follows;-
Fine Gael and Enda Kenny '
They have broken every promise of substance they ever made.
1.Kenny promised before the last election that no evictions would take place on his watch.This was a lie of gargantuan proportions as the absolute failure to provide shelter for so many citizens has proved.
2.Successive Fine Gael Ministers have made a total bags of the Health Service making it into a system akin to the the County homes of years ago ,which the populace live in dread of ending up in on trolleys irrespective of age or gender.
3.The abject failure to get debt relief from the European Union for the 64 billion debt the Party imposed on the citizens and the insistence that the Greeks too were crucified in similar fashion by Noonan has destroyed hundreds of thousands of families in the Country ,led to massive emigration and in my view countless deaths by suicide and other stress related illnesses.
4.These guys are selling another huge lie in their claim that they will bring back the half million people that force to emigrate.Where are they going to house them,IN BADGERS BURROWS PERHAPS ,or are they so delusional that they believe their own nonsense rhetoric.
About one in five have done well under Fine Gael and the are what the.y always were,the Party of the BIG FARMER,THE SMOOTH TALKING CHARITY EXECUTIVE and the slave to the millionaires and billionaires who they wish most of all to emulate.
Labour and Joan Burton.
Barring a few very rare working class supporters who haven't yet seen the light the Labour Party is a home for certain career civil servants and charm free academics whose main aim in life is to live up to the redness of the rose which is its emblem by legalising the murder of as many of the unwanted and defenceless unborn as it can under the misnomer of equality,but not for the child.
It detests the notion of the nuclear family of mother ,father and children and much prefers the alternative unions which it panders to.It has copped that Irish people has seen through it so it panders to all the foreigners it claims to care about.
THEY HAVE PRESIDED OVER THE LEVYING OF A PROPERTY TAX AND WATER TAX WHICH IS OF NO CONSEQUENCE TO THE RICH BUT DISEMPOWERS THE POOR AND MIDDLE CLASSES.AND HAVE ROWED IN WITH THEFT OF THESE TAXES FROM THE WAGE PACKETS OF WORKERS AND UNEMPLOYED.
It has done nothing for the poor and unemployed save to stigmatise them at every hands turn.
It is universally despised in rural Ireland,having sold its body for power and its soul to the devil and will be decimated and deservedly so.
Fianna Fail and Michael Martin.
It was deservedly nearly decimated last time out but barely hung in there.It is a different animal from Fine Gael and historically catered for the less well off .Many many Fianns Failers believed the bumph of Fine Gael and Labour the last time out and voted for them but have since discovered that the present coalition are more untrustworthy and infinitely more arrogant than Fianna Fail ever were,so they will be flocking back in unprecedented numbers this time around.
Personally I think young Dev should be leader and that Martin is just a stopgap,but he has done good.
The country needs a champion on the issue of the rights of the unborn and this Party ought give the lead.
Sinn Fein and Gerry Adams
I always think of Nicky Keogh when I think of Sinn Fein.Nicky did time for the Republican movement and fell just short of election for the Dail when he ran for them.He handed the seat on a plate to Mary Lou ,who has no history of activism.
Personally i think that the people who vote Sinn Fein don't regard involvement with the physical war as an impediment to voting for them .On the contrary they regard it as a badge of honour.
They are massively popular with working people and small business men and women and are clearly hated in RTE and by the written media,especially the Independent and the Times,both Irish and English.
They will clean up .
An awful pity they see the innocent unborn as the enemy.
Other left wing parties
The one objectionable thing uniting them is their irrational hatred of he innocent unborn ,whose civil rights they totally and vilely disregard.

Death of Vincent Mc Cormack,Tullaghanogue.
Word is just filtering in of the recent death of Vincent Mc Cormack of Tullaghanogue at the tender age of 63 years.
I am told that he had a short illness and anticipated accurately the time of his demise God Bless him and that he died at home.
I didn't know him very well but had the pleasure of giving him a lift in my car from Tullaghanogue to Athboy on a number of occasions when I thoroughly enjoyed his company and am living proof to his ability to converse fluently as Gaeilge through conversations in that medium.He was more proficient than me and said to me a number of times that he was the only true Meath man in his locality that was so proficient in the language having picked it up from his neighbours and from from childhood friends.
He was good and intelligent company and I imagine well known and liked in Athboy at least ,which was his theatre of operations.
I drank with him a few times in Dunderry in times of yore when he was visiting his sisters Jean Rowan and Kathleen Reilly and their families who are highly respected members of this community.
The girls of both families played Camogie with Dunderry ,when times were rough and Lettie and Tara stuck with it through thick and thin and Lettie still yields a cultured Caman for the Club.
Jean helped out for many years and indeed played alongside her daughters now and again so it is with certainty that I can say that he must have been a man of sound character and decent disposition were he like them and I hear he was.
He is survived also by his brothers Willie ,who lived with him and Leo a well known and respected Athboy resident.
On behalf of myself ,the Camogie Club ,the GAA Club ,the wider GAA family and the people of the Parish I offer sincere condolences to all his surviving family and wide circle of friends and neighbours.
His mortal remains will be reposing at Mullen's Funeral Home from 4.00 p.m till 6.30 p.m tomorrow Wednesday 17th February whence they will be removed to Kilbride Church to arrive at 7.00 p.m.
The Funeral Mass is on Thursday at 12.00 noon and burial afterwards in Tullaghanogue Cemetery.
