Clarification: Padraig O'Gorman

Monday February 08 2010

The Irish Independent newspaper would like to correct inaccuracies in its article "Proposing a memorial for IRA terrorists is grotesque" by Mr Kevin Myers on Tuesday 2nd February last in which it stated and implied that a proposal from Coiste Cairde na Laochra to Enniscorthy Town Council to erect a granite stone memorial to honour five IRA men who died in Edentubber in 1957, was the "apparent wishes of the town clerk", Mr Padraig O’Gorman.

Myers . . . Protestants . . . Fiddling . . . Miracle

Monday February 08 2010

  • KEVIN Myers has succeeded, once again, in proving his adeptness in brandishing a hammer. His article (Irish Independent, February 5) hits the nail squarely on the head in contrasting the responses to the recent earthquakes in China and Haiti by governments and charities.

Jews are not without some sin

Saturday February 06 2010

I was quite surprised to read in Kevin Myers' column (Irish Independent, February 5) that Jews don't rape and that Jews are NEVER (his capitals) sex offenders, as it is only a few years ago that President Moshe Katsav of Israel was accused of rape and multiple counts of sexual harassment.

  • Brian Murphy (Letters , February 2) dismisses out of hand David Quinn's contention that the film 'Avatar' has any intrinsic religious significance for viewers.

In brief: Pope . . . Bend . . . Voice of the people . . . Naughty

Thursday February 04 2010

  • AS the church starts to circle the wagons, Pope Benedict's Lenten Pastoral seems the perfect opportunity for Irish people to let him know their true feeling about the covering up of child abuse. I suggest turning their backs during the reading of the pastoral, to say "never again" to the Catholic Church.

Privacy . . . Molloy . . . tax . . . stay-at-home wives

Saturday January 30 2010

  • I have a very simplistic view on the ID cards. I view it in the same light as CCTV cameras and other "invasions of privacy" that get under some people's skin, people like the Irish Council for Civil Liberties.

University heads are in denial

Friday January 29 2010

IN a world in which the rich suddenly become less rich and the poor grow ever poorer, the glittering prizes available to the people who run our universities seem quite extraordinary.

Why Haiti has remained poor

Thursday January 28 2010

Although I don't agree with Kevin Myers' article ('Disasters -- where would showbiz be without them?', Irish Independent, January 26), I acknowledge that some people may be asking such questions.

The country is in a shambles

Wednesday January 27 2010

OUR economy has been recklessly managed and is now in big trouble.

Unnatural deaths of hunt's victims

Saturday January 23 2010

Kevin Myers says that whenever a stag is killed by the Ward Union Hunt, it is "shot by a hunt marksman, after being cornered by hounds" (Irish Independent, January 14).

Mr Myers fingers media hypocrisy

Saturday January 23 2010

Well done to Kevin Myers in exposing the hypocrisy of the so-called "heroic media" (Irish Independent, January 20).
