‘No Confidence’ Vote Will Damage Irish...

Tonight’s forthcoming Fine Gael tabling of a motion of ‘No Confidence’ in the office of Taoiseach of Ireland, currently held for the third successive and historic time by Bertie Ahern, TD, will no doubt be watched closely by the nation. It’s expected to follow the timeline outlined by BreakingNews.ie earlier: Taoiseach Bertie Ahern will have to wait until 9pm to know his fate following the first...

Kerry Claim Football History – AGAIN!...

Kerry. The Kingdom. One of the most feared and revered teams in the Gaelic Athletic Association live there. It’s the land of ‘cute whoors’ and the most hotly contested political fighting grounds in Ireland. Kerry has history in everything from one of the largest collections of Early Christian settlements, to the two highest peaks in Ireland (Carrantuohill at 1054m and Mt. Brandon at 953m) and has also...

Diarmy Becomes Guest Writer at IrishElection.com...

I was approached by the hierarchy at IrishElection.com to post some of my articles to their site to further enliven political debate in the Free State of the Republic of Ireland with an added twist of being a Fianna Fáil realistic outlook on society and current affairs. I’ve posted my ‘The House The State Didn’t Build’ as my first at the website and hopefully many more will make the grade and...

DDN Gets New Look! (V4)...

Welcome to the new-look Diarmy.net. This update takes advantage of more AJAX programming and brings a brighter image of DDN to the wider audience. Gone is the K2 theme which had founded and later rejuvenated this now globally-popular blog. Updated since I last provided a structural update, is this theme, based on the iTheme from nDesign studio. The theme itself started with a Mac OSX blue hue, which I altered to reflect...

The House the State Didn’t Build...

Shannon? Has anyone uttered it in the past week?? As if to prove the point of it being silly-season in the media, focus has been diverted from the so-called ‘debacle’ over Shannon Airport to the sordid business of Judge Alan Mahon hauling our Prime Minister, Taoiseach, Head of State, All-Round Good-Guy, Bertie Ahern up in front of its chambers in the Dublin Castle settlement on Dame Street. You’d be forgiven for...

If You’re Young & White, Join YFG!...

Fine Gael, the party everyone loves to be seen supporting but never votes for, is at it again. As if the whole nonsense about their ‘young, dynamic, vibrant leader’ crap wasn’t enough lies (he’s nearly 6 months older than Bertie!), they’re now launching a new ad-campaign to attract college-goers to support the party and to join its militant youth arm ‘Young Fine Gael’. I remember...
