Two Harley Street doctors have been suspended ‘after mistakenly removing the vagina of a transgender patient without consent’; in what is thought to be a legal first in Britain, the case involved a ‘man, who was transitioning from a woman’, who was left “distraught” after the irreversible gender reassignment procedure’; the anonymous patient ‘had agreed to a hysterectomy and metoidioplasty, which would have given him a penis, but refused a third procedure’ to remove ‘his’ womb

Aquila Bioscience at NUIG has developed a technology, called Abwipe, which they say could prove a useful countermeasure to the Wuhan coronavirus, Corvid-19. The technology was originally designed in consultation with the European Defence Agency to protect military and emergency personnel from biological agents such as anthrax.

With the Labour Leadership contest underway, and the country slowly coming apart without a government, it’s time to bring back what is undoubtedly one of the greatest achievements of Irish politics – the Alan Kelly election rap.

In the upcoming election the starkest difference between Kelly and O’Riordain may be that O’Riordain has never produced an election rap, and may in fact have never produced an election song of any type.

"So when someone buys their coke at the weekend, they are buying shares in the torture and murder of young fellas like 17-year old Keane Mulready-Woods in Drogheda. He too made his choice, restricted no doubt by all sorts of issues, to become part of it all.
