The March 2002 Referendum On 6th March a referendum held in the South of Ireland to insert an amendment to Article 40.3.3 of the constitution was defeated. The aim of the amendment was to roll back the situation that exists at present where it is lawful for a woman to have an abortion in this state if she is suicidal. This is the second time in ten years that the attempt to roll back the Supreme Court judgement in the X case has failed. Comments: Google It! 8:19:25 AM

The Sorry Truth Anthony McIntyre The IRA statement this week apologising for all non-combatants killed by it during the armed struggle has caused a flurry of excitement in media circles. We may be forgiven on occasion for thinking that the media scrum stands at the bottom of the mountain awaiting a 'sign' from above which they can interpret in some new way. Even when the tablet of stone is passed down from P O'Neill with the words merely rearranged somewhat differently from the last time they came down there is a sense that some in the press posse have just won the scrabble championship. How so much spin can be put on so little substance is an intellectual crime that those charged with disseminating our news will unfortunately not have to answer for as they meander through a fictionalised life. How an author of a book on the IRA, Kevin Toolis, can make the claim that 'the Irish Republican Army has never apologised, regardless of how cruel or pointless the act' defies credulity.
