What is behind attacks on Irish NGOs? Women’s Aid last week received hundreds of abusive online comments. Let’s not be immune to how, in just a few short years, occurrences like this go unremarked. medium.com/@keeptherecoveryg…

INDIGENOUS, NOT DAVOS.

A tiny fraction of Irish NGOs lobby politically.

He's saying this in character as 'John Banville.' The flesh-and-blood John Banville is almost incontinent in the number of petitions and open letters he signs.

Jim O'Callaghan says as successful barrister and justice minister i can't actually comprehend the world but it does makes me fit to lead Fianna Fáil and he's entirely correct

Attacks on the crisis centres this week and the spineless government contribution is one of those episodes activists have to remember because nobody of influence will ever acknowledge it happened in future

Government vote to abolish Irish military neutrality and journalists line up next morning to ask them about Ryan Tubridy. Imagine how useless they all will be when we are actually fighting other people's wars.

The only genuinely Irish aspect to the online headbanger scene is it's backlash to a society that showed itself capable of having difficult and complicated conversations. It is all anathema to the world of deference they long after.

There was nothing inevitable about Sally Rooney's success in a rotten book industry. A talent loathed from London to Manhattan by a cohort who look down on even a Trinity education. Whatever you think of her politics, you have to credit for driving these people even more mental.
