A Unified Left?
Recent events in Dublin have served to graphically illustrate the internal problems that are being suffered within the "left unity" camp in the Republic. In a country dominated by two right-of-center parties, Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, the mainstream left is struggling to become a more powerful player in the politics of the state. It was hoped by some that the merger last January between the Labour Party and Democratic Left would create the dynamic in which a unified "left", represented by the new Labour Party, would see rapid gains. So far, all it seems to have created is problems.

THE FAMILY'S HEIRLOOM CHRISTENING GOWN
With such a wonderful and rich tradition for generations, it's so unfortunate that most of the <i> "Generation X" </i> has this <i> "could care less" </i> attitude when inheriting the family's christening gown. I mention this because with my experience on recent house calls, the gown and bonnet is not wanted by the family members, so up for sale it goes! Now, I do know for a fact that there are some people that do keep this tradition going.
