“I pay tribute to the ‘Farmers For No’ for coming together and calling for a No Vote… …Contrary to popular belief and what the government is spouting, the sky won’t fall on our heads if we vote no on May 31st. We will retain some flexibility and some ability to retain the control over our National finances and to be able to use those finances for the good of all the citizens of the country and not for the good of saving the financial institutions of Europe.” - Thomas Pringle, TD (Member of Irish parliament) ... read full story / add a comment

Dublin Primary School brings their young pupils to night of gambling at the dogs. The O‘Connel’s primary school Parents Association obviously believes that Gambling is a healthy pursuit for 8 to 10 year old schoolchildren. A night at the dogs was arranged by the OCS Parents association on last Thursday 3rd May. A mini-bus and apparently a Gardai community Van shuttled children for a night of gambling at Shelbourne Park to bet on about 12 races as no underage limit applies at Greyhound and Horse tracks in Ireland. One child won 60-80 euro and the website for the school said the following regarding the event. The O Connell Primary School Dublin website states-‘ A Night at the Dogs posted 4 May 2012 00:08 by Gerry Hancock .A big Thank You to everyone who helped out with or attended the OCS Parents' Assoc.
