- Información
- My ideal day would include some film, canoeing, the Morning Ireland radio show, a random lecture, the Beatles and tomatoes. It would also have to include both something arty and something current affairs, it's impossible to appreciate one without the other. It needn't be very high-brow though.
there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 8:15)
- Music
- the Beatles, the Pogues, the Dubliners, the Saw Doctors, Christy Moore, Morrissey, U2, James browne.

Why I'm voting yes
Both the Yes and the No sides are desperately exaggerating the effects of the Lisbon treaty on Ireland. In reality, the Lisbon treaty will have very little effect, good or bad, on this country. Its principle areas of reform are either irrelevant to us (Space exploration) or else we have secured opt outs (Justice).
However, the Lisbon treaty will have an enormous impact on the lives of millions -not in Ireland, but in the Balkans and other countries which aspire to join the Union. This treaty is the vehicle for the future accession of countries, many of which are struggling, post-conflict societies. They deserve our support, and it is for their sakes that I am going to vote Yes.

"Tighe impertinent" -Phoenix (14th Aug 2009)
PASTED
DENIS O’BRIEN’S MEDIA WARS
SUNDAY TIMES Irish editor Frank
Fitzgibbon has felt compelled to write
to The Irish Times twice in the last few
months to defend his editorial policy.
The first time was when his columnist
Sarah Carey defected to the IT and told
a tale of positively Stalinist proportions
about how she had been disbarred from
writing an opinion piece supporting a
Yes vote in last year’s Lisbon Treaty
referendum. The latest episode is far, far
more serious, however, and involves
Denis O’Brien’s running battle with the
Moriarty Tribunal.
Following O’Brien’s multi-pronged
attack on the tribunal recently, a letter in the
IT from a Tommy Tighe pointed out that the
ST had painted O’Brien as “some sort of
hero”. Tighe also pointed out that the ST had
devoted a full page spread on the enormous
costs of the tribunal and had also reported
on another of O’Brien’s line on how to deal
with INM’s current troubles (in which he is
now the main player), all in the same
edition. Fitzgibbon responded promptly,
denying that the paper was in awe of
O’Brien and arguing, strangely, that
O’Brien’s “advertisement criticizing the
Moriarty Tribunal, the one featuring
chocolates, was based on facts first revealed
in the ST”.
Last Sunday, the ST gave the latest
chapter in the O’Brien/Moriarty battle a big
splash on the front page and devoted more
space to O’Brien’s side of the argument than
any other newspaper that day despite the
correspondence being sent to the four
broadsheet Sunday papers. The Sunday
Independent did not make any mention of
the story at all — which may come to be
seen as a grave tactical error by editor
Anguish Fanning at some stage in the future.
The trouble for Fitzgibbon is that
rumours swept the media grapevine in the
last fortnight about him being head hunted
by O’Brien to become editor at the Sindo.
Fitzgibbon goes back a long way with
O’Brien’s local spin doctor, James
Morrissey — the two were founder
members of the Sunday Business Post —
and Morrissey is DOB’s chief adviser on
editorial matters at INM.
Changes will be implemented at the INM
titles but the financial crisis for the group is
so serious that the editorial purges have been
put on the back burner. Fitzgibbon is going
nowhere in the immediate future but in the
mean time his critics have been putting it
about that he is about to jump ship for the
Sindo, hardly an inspired move given the
current financial turmoil.
This makes it difficult for Fitzgibbon in
his editorial judgment and explains the testy
letter to the IT which challenged not only
Tighe’s impertinence but even the IT’s
decision to publish the letter.
Meanwhile, bloodcurdling threats of
future salvoes from O’Brien are emanating
from DOB’s camp with promises that when
the summer is over there will be further
assaults — in the media and in the courts —
against Moriarty.0 comentarios 111 días
