After King's College London forced out Michael Rainsborough, emails emerged stating that he needed to be "brought to heel" owing to his "unique perspectives". Does anything more clearly show the fall of the university?

i agree with you that it's a shame that they've changed the name. why would they do that? Sean Clarach is buried in Charleville cemetary, right longside the gaa grounds,
i came to love the Irish language through my interest in song, and also while driving around the country, seeing the place names.
then lastly, when i realised that Irish is part of the bio-diversity of the world.
his best poem is his "Lament" for James Dawson, a local landlord, where he appeals to the stones: "hold this bastard fast under the ground" brilliant.....we need to write poems like that again.... you can see it in translation on google books: but try and read the Irish, as it's much better.

MAYBE RE-WRITE THIS ARTICLE AS A LETTER AND SEND IT IN TO THE EXAMINER, WHILE FORWARDING A COPY TO THE LOCAL GAA CLUB.
James Dawson who, on his 200 years ago, drew forth that terrible satire from Sean Clarach Mac Domhnaill of Rathluirc.
"Taiscighidh, a chlocha, fe choigilt i gcoimead criaidh,
Ann feailaire fola, is an stollaire Dason liath."
"Squeeze down his bones, o ye stones, in your hall of clay,
You reeking, gore-sprinkled boar, old Dawson the grey."
YOU'LL FIND THE POEM IN "DUANAIRE: POEMS OF THE DISPOSSESSED" IN IRISH AND ENGLISH, TRANSLATED BY KINSELLS
BELLMULLET GAA have RECENTLY accepted SHELL,S BLOOD MONEY thus further dividing a community who have a long history of support for the GAA.
SHELL has a worldwide reputation of ENVIRONMENTAL DESTRUCTION and HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES such as complicity in the hanging of THE OGONI NINE IN NIGERIA..They also employ mercenaries I-RMS SECURITY owned by JIM FARRELL KILDARE &TERRY DOWNES.(one ,MICHAEL DWYER killed recently in BOLIVIA ].
IT is widely believed that they were also involved in the ATTEMPTED MURDER of PAT ODONNELL and MARTIN MCDONNELL . Their boat was boarded during the night by armed men who spoke with foreign accents and held the men at gunpoint whilst they damaged the vessel,causing it to sink.(june 11th 2009)
THE GAA IN BELMULLET should as a matter of CONSCIENCE return SHELLS BLOOD MONEY.
These actions are entirely in-line with the GAA's Weltanschauung. The GAH is a reactionary, right-wing nationalist organisation. It is the athletic (I use the term loosely) wing of Fianna Fáil, except in those areas in which it is the athletic wing of Sinn Féin.
The GAA was invented at the same time as soccer.(Give or take twenty years.)
Gaelic Football and soccer Both involve kicking a ball between two posts.
Nothing more.
Sport was invented to keep the most boring people on the planet talking to each other.
Very Often at the expense of the taxpayer.

"Sport was invented to keep the most boring people on the planet talking to each other. Very Often at the expense of the taxpayer."
That is a ridiculous statement. Totally blind to the realities as indicated by history and anthropology. "Sport" is ANCIENT and so its origins cannot be found in current socio-economic institutions. The confusion here is in failing to understand the difference between "origins" and "utilizations". A successful (dominant) social order will be integrating and making use of ALL aspects of the society. That's how it maintains its dominance. But this does not mean that it created the various things that it is managing to utilize in this way.
More fruitful to look at origins in terms of keeping young warriors (and proto warriors) fit and in providing a way for young warrior societies to "fight" with each other using less deadly means.
"More fruitful to look at origins in terms of keeping young warriors (and proto warriors) fit and in providing a way for young warrior societies to "fight" with each other using less deadly means."
Thet is MERELY what sport is....a primitive activity indeed.
I like Jonothan Philbin-Bowman's description of an English FA Cup Final:
"22 millionaires kicking a bag of air around a field."
Well scored Jonathan!
