Since the Enoch Burke situation kicked off there has been much comment online about how intelligent the Burkes of Castlebar were. And how their educational qualifications and degrees were illustrations of this intelligence, this intellectual prowess. Over the last few decades, or at least however long the Healy Raes (Danny and Michael) have been in… Continue reading The Healy Raes of Kerry and Burkes of Castlebar and intelligence

Despair about the culture in Ireland in 2025
I have published a couple of videos over the last few weeks on topics which generate a massive amount of engagement and comments online. One was to do with Enoch Burke and the other dealing with the application in the High Court to prevent Conor McGregor publishing the CCTV footage from his civil trial versus… Continue reading Despair about the culture in Ireland in 2025
Good prompts for ChatGPT are invaluable
I have dipped into Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the last 3 months, or so, and find it tremendously powerful, and, more importantly, useful. I use ChatGPT on a weekly basis and hope to incorporate the power of the tool to a greater extent as 2025 progresses. If you ignore AI in your business I think… Continue reading Good prompts for ChatGPT are invaluable
This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable
I came across a YouTube channel yesterday which got me thinking. Firstly, the channel has 480,000 subscribers yet is less than one year old. Secondly, the maker of the channel never shows her face in her videos. Thirdly, there is no speaking, no voiceover or piece to camera. What there is instead is text on… Continue reading This YouTube channel’s success is remarkable
Looking forward to getting back on my Vespa
My Vespa has been lying up since St. Stephen’s Day because I got a puncture then. I have been unable to get anyone to fit a replacement tyre on account of the holidays and places only opening up in the last few days after Christmas. The weather has been extremely cold, too, and there would… Continue reading Looking forward to getting back on my Vespa
The world is a scarier place now
The world is becoming an even scarier place now, was my immediate thought having watched the six one news last night on RTE 1. Firstly, there was a story about Meta and Mark Zuckerburg and his announcement that all of the fact checkers for the Facebook platform were being dispensed with. Zuckerburg wants to revert… Continue reading The world is a scarier place now
“I stand with Enoch”
“I stand with Enoch”. I have been reading that online on various social media sites for the last two years, or thereabouts. A few days ago I read online about a planned demonstration of support for Enoch Burke which was to take place yesterday outside Wilson’s Hospital School. This morning, I read there was approximately… Continue reading “I stand with Enoch”
Don’t take them for granted
I was making a vlog the other day for my YouTube channel in the garage at home when I knocked over my Sony ZV E10 camera and broke the lens. It is only when you lose a trusted tool (and companion) that you really miss it and give it its true value. I would have… Continue reading Don’t take them for granted
Will the Enoch Burke circus recommence again in January?
Will the Enoch Burke circus recommence again in January when the schools reopen? Will he show up at Wilson’s Hospital School in contravention of the High Court order forbidding him from trespassing? Most people seem to think he will, and if past form is anything to go by it is likely. What is he achieving,… Continue reading Will the Enoch Burke circus recommence again in January?
A benefit of getting older
One of the benefits of getting older is you have a clearer picture of things, and a more accurate perspective. You may not be any smarter or astute or given to making better decisions. But you should be able to see things in the round and from a distance, rather than getting bogged down in… Continue reading A benefit of getting older
