Killian Forde: The Plot Thickens
http://killianforde.blogspot.com/2009/05/plot-thickens_17.html
Sunday, May 17, 2009. Last weeks Sunday Tribune. Led with a story on the country's property developers seeking to limit the reach of the recently established National Assests Management Agency (NAMA). Today's Sunday Business Post. Suggest that may not be necessary as NAMA has agreed "not to force up to 20 of the country’s top developers into receivership or liquidation". NAMA was set up by Finance Minister Lenihan. This nugget plus the revelation during the week that the designated boss of NAMA. Knows no...

Killian Forde: August 2008
http://killianforde.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 7, 2008. The whatever you say, say nothing, school of public relations. Well I've been back from my holidays about a week but just now getting around to the blog. Lots of happening in the last month, Sarkozy visits Dublin. As a new age doctor, the DUP think that homosexuality is worse than child abuse. And that creationism should be taught. In state run schools, Olmert, PM of Israel. Does a Bertie and the lad in charge of Mauritania. Is the victim of a coup d'etat. As Lord Mayor I am dee...

bloggorhythms: June 2008
http://bloggorhythms.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. Save the Record Store, Save the World. So, nothing like using a now 2-year-old reference to a TV show I don't watch or like to title a blog that means a lot to me. So here'goes:. It came to my attention today that due to a bit of a tiff with their landlord over rents, zoning, and live performance, SIREN RECORDS. In this economy, that takes more money than selling a few extra Beta Band discs. Or the occasional out-of-season Sam Beam Halloween costume. And the larger, tribal necessit...

Sunday, May 10, 2009. I'm not much of a gambler but always have a flutter on the elections. On the last General Election I won over €700 on betting on local constituencies. Ultimately betting is about knowing more about a 'race' than those setting the odds. If your into politics, know electoral histories and are canvassing it fairly easy to spot good odds. Paddy Power have opened a bunch of books. On the forthcoming European, Local and By-election. To win the Dublin Central seat at 10/1.

Killian Forde: Tight fisted &*%$@
http://killianforde.blogspot.com/2009/05/tight-fisted.html
Tuesday, May 5, 2009. And the award for the most miserly, greedy, avid, insatiable, penny pinching, small minded meanness proposal of the millennium goes to the Dublin Airport Authority. The DAA, the recipient of serious chronic abuse. From Ryanair's Micheal O'Leary. Who considers them swine have outryanaired Ryanair with the introduction of a €1 charge. A euro for a bag that would cost about 2 cent if you actually had to buy one. And I'm sure it will be all justified through some corporatespeak.

Killian Forde: Herd thinking
http://killianforde.blogspot.com/2009/05/herd-thinking.html
Wednesday, May 6, 2009. As is well known our economy is in a critical condition. The tax take has plummeted. Manufacturing and construction is dead. And state cuts are swept around the country. There seems to be a complete lack of vision to actually;. 1) face up to the problem. 2) accept that radical solutions will be needed. I believe the core reason why is that the Government, under ex Finance Minster Cowen. Irish Independent, economist and columnist David Mc Williams. This hostility expressed in the a...

Killian Forde: Supporting the Province
http://killianforde.blogspot.com/2009/05/supporting-province.html
Saturday, May 2, 2009. Its said that all identity is constructed. Sometimes this construction is politically motivated, think of the efforts made that we are European. Anyone ever cheered on Europe. But the relentless hyping of today's Rugby game. Represents a triumph of marketing over reality. Yesterday I was speaking at a conference in Cork and was impressed by the amount of homes, cars, business's and people displaying and wearing the colours of the Munster Rugby Team. The complete indifference of Lei...

Killian Forde: The Family
http://killianforde.blogspot.com/2009/05/family.html
Thursday, May 7, 2009. What is it with Fianna Fáil. And their families. The current ruling troika of Cowen, Coughlan and Lenihan are all the children of TD's and "inherited" their seats from their Dads. The FF conventions for the forthcoming by-elections in Dublin Central and Dublin South were held this week and the winners were;. Son of Seamus Brennan. The losing candidate in the Dublin Central convention was Mary Fitzpatrick. Daughter of Dermot Fitzpatrick. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
