Death by stoning – Sentences are utterly barbaric
Wednesday, September 08, 2010
IN his first State of the Union address to the European parliament, European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso yesterday spoke for the great, great majority of Europeans when he described the sentence imposed on an Iranian woman convicted of adultery as “barbaric beyond words”.
RTE TV Documentary “Freefall” claimed that on Monday 29th September 2008, Anglo realised that they were insolvent and (Drumm and Fitzpatrick) sought to meet Richard Burrows and Brian Goggins of Bank of Ireland to ask for a take-over. These lads declined and got on to AIB with the news. AIB and BoI then arranged to meet the Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan.
Condoleesa Rice, formerly Secretary of State (Foreign Minister) in the Bush
regime, played golf at Royal Dublin Golf Club on Bull Island this week.
Currently, she is Professor of Political Science at Stanford.
I give notice that the subjugation of women under Islam will be a feature of what I write in the next few months. Women are more than 50% of the human race. Obvious. I object to stoning to death in Islamic countries and the death penalty in all countries. Iran should be ostracised. This is just a trailer. Dublinistan must never materialise. Never be afraid of these fanatics even if they threaten and murder people in the name of religion – fatwas etc.
Like the Skibbereen Eagle, Bill is watching you Islam.
On Friday 20th August, I drove down to Castlebar for the third trip to Mayo in my life. When respect for Coady and Kenny comes into the question, then there is no option except to get into the volvo and go. I did and was really very heartened by the huge size and dignity of the crown waiting in line to pay their respects to the family and to Liam laid out in his own funeral parlour. His family were most warm and welcoming in what must have been a dreadful emotional ordeal. I found the deaths of brother Tommy,wife Helen and my Mother very stressful in my own experience. Anyway, there was a huge gathering. It was good to talk to Michael Noonan, Frank Flannery, Lizzy Munnelly, Councillor Munnelly from Mayo,Leo Varadkar,Maurice Cummins, Catherine Noone and other FG luminaries. I arrived at 6 pm and the removal was due to go to the church at 8 bells but was postponed until 12 midnight due to size of the crowd. Liam Coady’s funeral must have been the biggest in Ireland since Cormac McAnallan in Tyrone after his sudden death. May Liam rest in peace. As Dave Allen would say – “May your God go with you”.
