Ireland rugby matches are being screened at specially organised breakfast events for people who are homeless

IRELAND’S THREE RUGBY World Cup group games will be screened in the capital at special events being organised by the Dublin Simon Community and Secret Street Tours.

Tea, coffee and pastries will be served on the morning of the matches, and people who are experiencing homelessness will be able to view the games on big screens. Shane Howell, who has experienced homelessness and now works as a tour guide for Secret Street Tours, says watching a sporting event can often be the last thing on a person’s mind if they’re preoccupied with finding a bed for the night.

“You have no-where to watch them, you wouldn’t be let in anywhere to watch them that’s the reality of it,” Howell told TheJournal.ie Besides, “the order of the day is to get through the day… You do see people going to the matches and things like that but you’re just so far away form it.”

Majority of people support legalising assisted suicide in IrelandCampaigners have called for changes to the Irish law on assisted dying. Probably a stupid question, but what is the result of increasing the dose of morphine? I'm not surprised to see first out of the trap to put their immoral feelers out about this issue seeing as they did so well in using their massive platform to help introduce abortion at the other end. Although they highlight how pagan Ireland has become again. Elderly people will soon be at as much at risk as babies in the womb. People with special needs will be next on the hitlist. The Nazi ideology only particially succeeded in the 20th century, but likely will fully work in the 21st century. Scary time to grow old.

Colourful activism: The placards of the climate strikeThere's an energy and creativity characterising protests in the capital this year, and it's down to the young people playing a key role, as Emma O Kelly discovers. Young people are more easily hoodwinked, that's certainly true. Research, investigation, determining the truth behind what is declared, that's adult stuff. And it won’t make any difference because no one listens to children and neo-liberal adults about anything. One of the posters say sea is rising....No evidence it is rising any more than normal...
