		<description><![CDATA[Five months since my last blog. Forgive me, reader, for I have been preoccupied. I was conducting a &#8216;dialogue&#8217; with the Department of Finance with respect to the &#8216;Offset Debt&#8217; proposal (Link) and I decided to keep &#8220;shtum&#8221; for fear of upsetting the tender sensibilities of those I encountered therein. I will give an account [...]]]></description>

My congratulations to EK and the gang on an interesting victory. EGilmore shot himself badly in the foot at the start of the campaign with his arrogance toward the electorate [...]]]></description>

They are novel in that they genuinely seem to be popular uprisings unmediated by elites or provocateurs. They are good news for those of us who believe liberty and self-determination.

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings and a happy New Year. In an Irish context, the &#8216;and prosperous&#8217; addition to the traditional salutation is inappropriate. I have been shocked at the number of people who have contradicted or corrected me when I used the full traditional form of the greeting. Clearly, a very sombre mood has settled over the country [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a fascinating article in the FT today wherein the truly hypocritical nature of the political culture of Ireland and its dominant party, Fianna Fail, is laid bare, almost accidentally. It is worth a read but two quotes stand out. “I voted for Fianna Fáil in the past simply because I was getting favours [...]]]></description>
