WorldbyStorm - 13:26 Sun Nov 22, 2009 Nice to see that at least one Irish Sunday paper continues to prosper without losing quality. Now this may seem odd coming from a left wing blog, but for my money the SBP is probably the best Sunday paper in the Irish market, actually strike that, it’s probably the best paper in the Irish market [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 13:20 Sun Nov 22, 2009 FINANCE Minister Brian Lenihan has indicated that he will use the 11.9 per cent pay cut private sector workers have already taken as a benchmark for public sector pay cuts, the Sunday Independent has learned.
But not just any private sector workers…
On Friday, the CSO published a report which showed that workers in the financial sector [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 09:13 Sun Nov 22, 2009 Commenting on Finance Minister Brian Lenihan’s much-discussed pledge to deliver cuts of ?4bn in the Budget, Mr O’Leary said: “I’ve been asked if I were Minister for Finance, what I would do to reduce costs by ?4bn. I wouldn’t reduce them by ?4bn. I’d reduce them by ?20bn in one year. I would eliminate 20 [...]  A
Garibaldy - 00:12 Sun Nov 22, 2009 Just spotted this story on Slugger. The BBC reports that the police returned fire in the town of Garrison in Fermanagh, presumably after coming under attack from dissidents. No reports of any injuries, which is good news. Worrying.

WorldbyStorm - 10:11 Sat Nov 21, 2009 Earlier in the week Woodvale asked whether the CLR would have coverage of the strike on Tuesday. Got to admit first off I was thinking… hmmm… now how would that work. But, it’s actually a great idea. So on Tuesday I’ll just leave an open thread so that anyone who is picketing (I’ll be doing [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 08:55 Sat Nov 21, 2009 The Horrors? Why yes, let’s for a change look at something contemporary. I missed their first album, bar Sheena is A Parasite – guest stars and suchlike not withstanding, writing them off as a sort of one trick pony band, a bit like The Hives of yesteryear.
That’s not entirely unreasonable, their carcrash sound of punk/garage/goth [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 17:46 Fri Nov 20, 2009 Figures, released today from the Central Statistics Office (CSO), reveal…
…hourly earnings including irregular bonuses rose 4.2 per cent from ?20.35 to ?21.20 per hour in the second quarter of this year.
Hourly earnings including irregular bonuses in the financial sector fell by 11.9 per cent, from ?32.96 to ?29.03 per hour during the same period.
The drop [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 07:07 Fri Nov 20, 2009 Okay, time for some solipsistic reflection so apologies in advance.
On the other hand for those who post and comment or just visit here and for whom it provides a bit of entertainment or even better some utility perhaps it’s good every once in a while to explain what’s going on and why.
The discussion on the [...]  A
WorldbyStorm - 07:06 Fri Nov 20, 2009 Thanks again to AK for the following:
For me [writes AK] two entries in particular stand out
A Socialist Labour Party Recruitment Leaflet which I’m sure will be of interest to many.
“Politicians on the Fiddle:Vote Them Out.” from the ‘Campaign for Honesty in Politics? 1991 local elections.
It gives a nice summation of the planning corruption on Dublin [...]  A |
