		<description><![CDATA[I have an awkward question for which I do not have any answer and would value some comments and opinions. I support the campaign to eliminate all forms of discrimination against people on the basis of their race, creed, gender and sexual orientation. Currently, the ‘hot topic’ in this field is the need to reform [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In chess, the quality that separates the &#8216;grandmaster&#8217; from the &#8216;talented amateur&#8217; is the number of moves ahead that each player can mentally keep in mind and manipulate. Something similar is said to be true for champion tennis and snooker players. I am not one for conspiracy theories as experience has to date shown me [...]]]></description>

Mr. Cowen has resigned as leader of FF but intends to remain as a caretaker Taoiseach, all the while citing the benefit of the Nation principally and his party secondarily as the intended beneficiaries of his actions.

		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[So the GP leadership took a decision on Saturday while the IMF/EU negotiations were still entrain. Then they attended the most momentous ever Cabinet meeting with mental reservations. And then they undermined both with a stunt on Monday. This is duplicitous, unprofessional and destabilizing. And they thought they were being clever! Who can ever sit [...]]]></description>
