Berlusconiâ€™s fall is good for Europe

Last update: Sunday, December 1, 2013, 15:10 | By: Michael McGowan

Silvio Berlusconi’s almost certain exit from the centre stage of Italian politics couldn’t be better news for the European Union and its member states. The fall from grace of the former Italian PM is long overdue, not to mention a welcome opportunity for Italy once more to help shape the future of Europe. It is also a challenge for Ireland, which shares both membership of the EU and the euro currency with Italy, to make sure the union benefits from Italy’s membership and experience.

Are things in Libya better or worse?

I saw in the news recently that the Libyan prime minister was kidnapped – abducted by gunmen inside his official residence. I only repeated that to emphasise the absurdity of the situation.

The Bible says “a feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry: but money answereth all things” (Ecclesiastes 10:19). This goes to confirm the important role money plays in our daily lives.

Merkelâ€™s victory is a benefit for Ireland, Europe - and the world

Last update: Tuesday, October 15, 2013, 16:03 | By: Michael McGowan

The election of Angela Merkel for a third term as German Chancellor is an historic landmark for post-war Germany and Europe, as well as an opportunity for the continent to move forward with more confidence to the next stage of co-operation.

Support the Youth Guarantee

Last update: Tuesday, October 15, 2013, 16:01 | By: Emer Costello

Youth unemployment is a major concern for everyone – not just in Ireland, but across Europe. The implications of joblessness for young people can be devastating for their morale and hopes for the future. However, the long-term social and economic risks are a worry for all citizens.

The Greek crackdown on neo-Nazi party Golden Dawn, is well overdue.

The limits of European â€˜hospitalityâ€™

I don’t suppose that any tourists lured to Lampedusa’s Rabbit Beach off the southern coast of Italy – voted the world’s best beach by TripAdvisor, with its “unspoiled nature and the crystal-clear sea filled with life” – might have spared a thought to the island being the primary European entry point for migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Asia. At least not until last week’s disaster, in which some 300 migrants drowned in a desperate attempt to reach Europe. Lampedusa, I suggest, epitomises the paradox of European asylum policies at their most acute.

On Friday 4 October, you will be asked a straight question: do you want to abolish the Seanad? The answer is yes or no. I’m asking you to vote ‘yes’. And here’s why.

Why Iâ€™m supporting reform of the Seanad

As a community, political and queer activist, I see democracy as the axis around which a republic like our own revolves. It’s like a shiny beacon of light in the history of the world; enlightenment from the darkness of tribalism and freedom from the chains of colonial imperialism.

Irelandâ€™s links with Chile are a legacy for human rights

Last update: Tuesday, October 1, 2013, 16:30 | By: Michael McGowan

The world has marked the 40th anniversary of the coup led by Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet with events and debates about his 17-year rule of terror and torture, though I noted with too little reference to Ireland’s historical and cultural links with Chile, or what Ireland has learnt from the experience of the brutal dictatorship.

Aaron Alexis was a 34-year-old navy contractor who had previously been honourably discharged from the military. A normal member of society, if you ask me, at least judging by that short profile.
