One of these days...

Not looking so hot there Rosie Tell me about it! What the hell are these people trying to do to me? Himself reckons my hosters have a vendetta against me. Lord knows but please bear with me until I pick myself up and brush myself down, virtually speaking.
Remind me to post about:

1. Dad's retirement and associated merriment and photos


2. Launch of Jazzontheterrace.com


3. all the other stuff that isn't about how my hosting company are slowly driving me bananas

Input Thanks to rvize and helen for their comments on the citizenship referendum. I agree with both of you and I don't think it is ignorance to be concerned about the citizenship of children should the yes votes have the day. I have heard a number of people comment in the media about how denying newborns automatic citizenship problematizes their existence. I do feel that in the context of Ireland as a member of the EU there may need to be tighter controls on immigration and citizen but I don't believe that it merits tinkering with the constitution. In fact I think it shows a distinct lack of respect for the constitution.
When I hear talk about the packed maternity wards it produces a wry smile on my face. The maternity wards have a lot of problems but surely we should be rejoicing that they are packed! I believe that in Australia and France there are incentives for women to have as many children as possible. I may be wrong about that but the point is we may regret at leisure (i.e. during our retirements) that, as a nation, we chose to reject these new �ireannaigh.
