Front cover of People's Voice, No. 1, November 1968.

A meek cartoon character is pictured saying, "I'm not interested in politics because I don't eat, wear clothes, breathe air or live in a house. I'm incurable and when I die I'll bury myself."

Underneath is written, Workers: Awaken to your power!

Priest: "Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Micheál Martin: "Let's not jump into a kneejerk response here, in terms of falling in love. There are many factors, elements even, to consider, in terms of commitment, loyalty, the willingness to share a life, in terms of marriage."

The Irish criminal justice system is represented by three separate, yet equally important groups: the police, who investigate crime; the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders; and a weird little man from Mayo who really wants to bully a child. These are their stories.

Micheál Martin as Meatloaf
“I would do anything for children”

Response singer:
“Would you aggressively regulate a tech giant producing and spreading sexual images of children and maybe eschew using such sites?

Would you do something that might lead to anything other than an inexorable rise in the 5000+ homeless children?”

Micheál: But I won’t do that

"Donohue opted to provide the World Bank with €141.4 million on 24 April 2025, even as officials in his department recommended giving significantly less. The World Bank itself recommended that Ireland give €131.4 million."

Holy crap! Your reminder friends that this money he gave away is OUR money.
