I’m not sure which piece of unpopular Irish news is being buried by which: the announcement of a second referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, or the shuffling through of a law creating penalties for blasphemy, an offence that has never properly existed in the Irish state.
While there is certainly a store of resentment in the population at being asked to vote again (that is: vote properly, you morons, as the government is barely holding back from saying) on the Lisbon Treaty, there is a certain sense of bafflement at the new blasphemy legislation, smuggled in under the guise of defamation law reform today. Nobody wanted this law: no one can think of a single thundering priest, austere vicar, irate rabbi or miffed mullah ever calling for tougher penalties for blasphemy.

It is a traditional form of Morris dancing that dates back to the 17th century.
So when a troupe of dancers were invited to a school’s diversity and culture show they were naturally overjoyed at the chance to explain its historical and cultural significance.
But their excitement soon turned to disappointment when the head teacher cancelled the booking – amid fears their blackened faces would cause offence.

In a bid to prove that being blonde has nothing to do with Vikings, a museum featuring an exhibition on the Norse warriors has banned fair-headed people from visiting it.
As per York Dungeon bosses, the Norsemen were largely Redheads, and fair-haired people descended from Saxons-the invaders’ enemies.
The bosses are so caught up with the whole thing that they have waived this weekend’s entrance fee for reds, while brunettes are allowed to visit though they will have to pay the fee.
Comment: This is a disgraceful act of discrimination against a large but diminishing section of our folk. Can you imagine the uproar if blacks or muslims or any other minority group were banned from attending such an exhibition? There were not many Chinese amongst the Norse, will they ban them too? Of course not.
We urge you to send polite messages of complaint to info@merlinentertainments.biz
