Decision not to prosecute psni

According to a news report yesterday, northern Ireland prosecutors were seemingly studying the phenomena of the psni shooting into residential areas and the subsequent death of three, 51 years ago. Results are a decision not to proceed.
Reportedly, experienced prosecutors were investigating three deaths believed to have occurred on 15 August 1969. Nine year old Patrick Rooney was said to have been shot by psni officers as he lay in bed after police fired a machine gun from an armoured car in his street in west Belfast. Another incident happened about 1 am in the morning when according to reports father of two, 28 year old Hugh McCabe was fatally wounded whilst trying to help an injured man on a balcony near his home in the Divis flats complex. According to the prosecuting team, there is no reasonable prospect of convicting the two former northern Ireland police officers involved in the incidents.
Samuel McLarnon, 28, was shot dead whilst in his home in north Belfast, the prosecution say the the only known suspect is deceased.

Finnegans now mainly living abroad

The name Finnegan, as Gaelic Fionnagáin was derived from the old Irish first name Fionn meaning fair.
According to a news item there appears to be two distinct septs or clans divided. The first was located apparently around the border of Galway and Roscommon where there are reportedly two places called Ballyfinegan. One in Ballymoe, Galway where according to reports the controversial royal Irish constabulary were stationed in the late 19th Century, and one in Castlerea.
The other is reportedly a Breffny sept. The as called kingdom of which is present day county Leitrim, Cavan and parts of neighbouring counties. It is supposedly from this origin that the majority of the present day Finnegans belong. Present day bearers of the name may be found in Cavan according to a report, but the majority believed to be abroad.

The cost of Ireland’s trade with the u.k.

According to a recent news item, so called official briefing documents given to the minister of foreign affairs are reportedly intent on protecting Ireland’s estimated €85 million per annum trade industry with the u.k. at all costs.
The EU and the u.k. are seemingly incompatable in areas such as a level playing field with regard to trade, that is no one taking precedence; fishing, Britain want our fishing waters and police, British delegates have been noticeably taking over Ireland. Other areas of concern are believed to be judicial cooperation. The u.k. won’t comply to generally expected rules, with regard to the banking sector for instance. Other governance issues are seen to be the as called international court of justice which has been noticably partial to u.k. interests.
The €85 million per annum is thought to be mainly paid by Ireland for British goods and is resulting in a low standard of fare and packaging, with the scope to lead to further contamination.

Iter project continues despite Paris agreement on climate change

A seemingly vast nuclear program hasn’t yet been assembled despite being conceived in 1985 according to a recent news report. The as called nuclear fusion program differs from the usual nuclear fissure programs which reportedly split the atom. The world’s largest nuclear fusion plant is the Iter project in France, cost of which so far is an estimated €20 billion despite not generating any electricity. The idea is that when heavy hydrogen atoms fuse together copious amounts of energy are released, but according to the report, this is said to require a temperature of 150 million degrees. Bad for the environment; and the project has been assessed in retrospect as a commercial failure.

Besides the unwanted side effect of greenhouse gases, nuclear processes use uranium; the extraction of which is believed to deplete the soil of the components necessary for the survival of organisms, including food crops.

Sweeping reforms alter significantly the essence of the catholic church

So called documents of the second Vatican council, that is the current church stance, documents not specified, have been reportedly voted through, seemingly by a general council, the pope and as described bishops of the world wide church. Pope Francis is believed by a source to be shaping new reforms around Catholic teachings. According to a regular commentator on the subject he has criticised a culture of ambition and clericalism within the as described Roman curia; or precedence according to the source, known to be a cleric, of what domination, unspecified.

According to the commentator, Cardinals are described as being split about new reforms. Critics are seemingly being accused, their arguments unheard. Politics are apparent, leading to the question, what made Pope Benedict retire?

Old Irish tales

Fionn Mac Cumhaill was a thought to be mythical Celtic hunter- warrior. The stories of Fionn and his followers the fianna form the as called Fenian cycle. Fenians reportedly were concerned with the high king and in defending him from invaders. The fenian cycle is one of a set of tales telling of tests accomplished by Fionn, sometimes called Finn, and the fianna. It is the third in a series. The other works are entitled the Historical cycle, the Ulster cycle and the Mythological cycle. May have truth.

Saint Maedoc, also may have been known as Aidan, according to documentation was born around 558. Dates might not be accurate. He is detailed as the first bishop of Ferns and precongregational. According to some he may have been of Welsh descent. As a youngster he was reportedly a hostage of the O’Neils who were high kings of Ireland. Reportedly Finn was given the choice to stay or to leave but he stood up for other hostages who were seemingly freed too. On leaving, Finn went to Wales and is believed to have studied under Saint David. He was said to have fought the Saxons and was well thought of. When he returned to Ireland somewhere around 570 according to a source, he tried to help strangers who were being attacked and was given land for religious purposes by the local chieftain. He is said to have fasted on barley bread and water for a long period, and was reportedly devoted to Brandud Mac Echach, may have been Gaelic and thought to have been the king of Kinsella and eventually Leinster. According to documentation, King Brandud defeated O’Neil in battle.

Saint Maedoc was known for his benevolence. According to reports he was visited by a delegate of British bishops who exploited his hospitality. The parting of Saint Maedoc from his friend Saint Dallán is described as the parting of a mother from her child, a cow from her calf, a bitch from her pups or a duck from her pond, though there may be no other known reference of Dallán: Saint Maedoc is buried in Ferns.

The book of James, brother of Jesus

The appocryphal gospel of James is not a sacred book. Some say it is a litany to men, particularly of ancient times when a break with protocol could mean sharia law, and women were considered possessions rather than equals.

Joseph, father of Jesus, is documented to be an Essene, part of a holy order, they are believed to have been descendants of king David. Essenes were allowed to marry in order to further the line, but were expected to wait three years in order to get to know their betrothed and ensure she was of the right character.

James, thought to be the younger brother of Jesus was an early Christian but appeared to differ from Saint Paul on various points. He was known to be a socialist and he wanted to incorporate Christianity into Judaism, the religion of the time. Paul was reportedly a Roman citizen with certain benefits. According to the biblical account he was won around by the movement. He at first persecuted as called believers of the way, as the early Christians were perceived. On converting he changed his name from Saul.

According to documentation, Paul’s father was a pharisee. Pharisees may have had both Greek and Roman connections. They may have inter-married with Greeks during the Greek empire. There are two indications that this happened as a phenomena. One was a policy, thought to be of Alexander the great. Greek soldiers were to settle in Israel and marry Israeli girls. The other indication, a more specific detail according to the biblical account. The daughter of an Israeli high priest and administrator married a high born Greek. The father in law then appeared to take over administration, the high priest disappearing from the dialogue: Intermarriage as a political policy may have resulted in different issues for the children. Paul wanted to start again with a new faith.

Margaret Broderick Nicholson and cumann na mBan

Margaret Broderick Nicholson seemingly was a cumann na mBan commander in Galway between 1917-1922, cumann na mBan being an Irish republican womens’ paramilitary organisation formed in 1914. According to a report the women in Galway helped the men with drills, gave first aid lectures and were known to disturb British recruitment meetings by singing nationalist songs.

Margaret reportedly kept an eye on ric patrols and carried despatches. According to news, in 1920 the royal Irish constabulary and the black and tans doused her family home with petrol and set it on fire, but neighbours are believed to have helped put the fire out. Another time the black and tans cut of all her hair to the scalp. She later said they had English accents. She said she had learned that the ric had pointed her out to the black and tans. This followed a fracas which happened one day when she was marching through a field with the men and the ric arrested the presiding officer.

A miscarriage of justice

How are the u.k. getting away with locking up investigative journalist Julian Assange seemingly indefinitely under the premise of saving him from the United states? No real news of Julian Assange apart from inflammatory u.n. detail. Might be exaggerated in order for individuals to lose interest. The rest, endless court hearings seemingly only asking that he is not extradited.

Julian, who rarely leaves prison now was surrounded by a group after one of his last court hearings, seperating him from any delegates who might be interested in his welfare.

Aid fails to discriminate and balance the cheque book

According to a European contingent, borrowing excessively because of the effect of covid restrictions means imperialism reaps the benefits, and the long term consequences may outweigh the benefits. Politicians admit that payback will be difficult if not impossible. According to the news, details of megaloans haven’t been established for other than the short term. Known terms for the package Leo Varadker did advocate did not exceed the first year, though paying the sum back within a year should be an impossibility. Hopefully the coalition have more fruitful ideas.

According to a news report the source of the €7 billion package recently introduced by the new government is not clear. It is thought to be mainly aimed at helping businesses and individuals disadvantaged by covid restrictions and a substantial sum, €139 billion has been set apart for grants, seemingly for the worst hit countries, but with undisclosed conditions attached.

Thoughts are that some businesses and small shops may not reopen due to financial problems. The covid unemployment rate remains up to 75% higher than the normal unemployment rate for the next eight months, an unnecessary expense. Unemployment rates are specifically designed to help people continue through hard times and a tiered system, providing mortgages and rents are accounted for, is seen as an unnecessary discrimination.

With regard to other ways of balancing the checkbook, a failure to discriminate between the affluent and the poor with regard to benefit aid is resulting in unnecessary expense. Disability benefit for instance is often long term and rarely means tested. The individual is allowed up to €30,000 in savings and in some cases the husband is earning a living. Child benefit is a supposed general entitlement even though the majority of beneficiaries are reasonably affluent. A last example is the u.k. disability living allowance which is a supplementary payment and according to documentation, not means tested. Both the daughter of a bank manager for instance and a family receiving unemployment benefit could receive the payment, though it will help one but not the other.
