Has the Royal College of Psychiatrists Killed the Assisted Suicide Bill? Wed May 14, 2025 17:40 | Will Jones
Kim Leadbeater's assisted suicide bill has been described by MPs as a "farce", an "embarrassment" and "beyond a joke". But last night's damning statement from the Royal College of Psychiatrists may be the fatal blow.

The Hidden Mechanisms of Unfreedom Wed May 14, 2025 15:41 | Alex Klaushofer
When politicians claim the public supports extreme measures like banning meat or digital ID you can be sure that behind it is a Citizens' Assembly or other dubious method for manufacturing 'consent', says Alex Klaushofer.

Saving Greenery From the Greens Wed May 14, 2025 13:00 | Sean Walsh
Greens have hijacked environmental concern and turned it into a branch of radical Leftist politics. But in truth conservatism cares about conserving our home. Conservatives need to reclaim green politics, says Sean Walsh.

Artist Sabine Springer, based in Kinvara, Co. Galway, is designing a book which will house three Irish-language poems reflecting on personal experiences of Galway city as seen through the poetic lenses of three Irish-language poets. The project was a major winner in the recent Bus Éireann and Foras na Gaeilge-sponsored Irish language project awards. The poets are Seosaimh Ó Guairim, Collette Nic Aodha and Ailbhe Ní Ghearbhuigh. The project will be completed in the next month or so.
"It is hoped that the book can be displayed in Galway," says the Centre's Director, Fred Johnston; "but the animosity shown towards the Centre by Galway City Council's Arts Office is likely to influence any eventual decision. It is a new project and a worthy one and our thanks to Bus Éireann and Foras na Gaeilge. We are delighted to have Sabine on board."
Meanwhile, in response to queries, he has said that the Western Writers' centre website continues to take poetry and prose for publication in Irish, French and English, but emphasises that submissions must be from established or previously-published writers. "There has to be a certain proportionality of achievement. It is unfair to take work that has no proven ability or no track record."
