Dear Editor, Community Grants or funding from Governments and Local Authority bodies in recent times have to satisfy the aspirations of Equality, Integration, Diversity and Inclusion. Is this not a futile exercise given that these terms are contradictory in themselves and actually cause division? First of all, we know that […]
Dear Editor, History tells us that centuries of ethnic history cannot be changed into a “one size fits all” identity. It also tells us that time does not eliminate cultural differences. We only have to see the 12th of July Celebrations in Northern Ireland to recognise this. Spending vast amounts […]
The main idea behind “Working from Home” was originally to give workers a better work-life balance and, at the same time, save on long commuting times to and from the workplace, which in many cases meant a worker spending hours in their car, causing traffic congestion in all our major cities.
Dear Editor, When Ireland transposed this Directive into Irish law, it tipped the scales in such a way that it protects civil servants, hinders the public interest, and places a blindfold over the Freedom of Information laws that were already in place. It ignored Section 6(e), which relates to the […]

It is typically issued when registering residency for over three months. It gives Danes their vote automatically when they reach 18, and others when they get Danish citizenship in real time. It is mandatory to keep one’s permanent address updated.

On a recent trip to Dublin I was mulling over the obsession some politicians nowadays have over changing the names of roads and parks which according to them are not reflective of the Irish Republic. Then I came across the statue of William Smith O’Brien on O’Connell St.
Denmark is one of the most successful countries when it comes to the uptake of cycling. In Copenhagen there are miles of cycling lanes covering the whole city. Cycle lanes are divided by a kerb or marked which ensures the safety of pedestrians and separates the cyclist from motorists.
Dear Editor Danish Dan Jorgensen, Commissioner Dan Jorgensen for The Environment & Housing, has stated at present in the EU there are 1,000,000 people homeless, 75,000,000 living in overcrowded accommodation circumstance and 45,000,000 cannot afford to heat their home.
