TRADE: The Transatlantic Trade & Investment Partnership (TTIP) is a trade treaty currently under negotiation between the EU and the USA. Concern, is the secrecy and urgency associated with the negotiations, excluding democratic scrutiny. Effectively, a select political elite are seeking not only to decide the future course of public, environmental and economic policies within Europe and the USA.

HEADQUARTERS, Irish Brigade, July 3, 1865.
http://archives.nd.edu/flag/documen2.htm
Taken from Notre Dame site
The Irish Brigade will parade to-morrow, July 4,1865 with the First Division, N.Y. State Militia, by invitation of Major General Sanford.
The New York Tribune presented an extended account of the Fourth of July parade in its July 6 1865 edition. This account confirms that the First Colours led the regiments in the parade: the only other flags of the regiment that were torn and tattered — the Third (1863 New York) colours — were at that very moment in Albany being presented to the governor. The Tribune’s story presents a vivid picture of the excitement and tumult that greeted the returning Irish Brigade:
The 95th New York Militia (a new regiment) and the 69th [Militia] led on the veterans, most of whom appeared to be all but stunned by the character of the demonstrations which their coming excited. The flags which the decimated regiments of this brigade bore, torn to tatters as they were by the lurid tempest of war, were proof enough of the terrible scenes through which the heroes had passed; but evidences of the same effect were stamped in every lineament of their swarthy faces, in every muscle of their brown, horny hands, and in every motion of their free, swift stride. . . .
From the parade the brigade marched to Irving Hall, where it was entertained at a grand homecoming banquet organized by former officers of the brigade and other gentlemen of the city, and then returned to barracks. Ten days later the three New York regiments of the Irish Brigade were dissolved.
EARL: The Graves of the Earls of Desmond in Tralee
by Gerald O’Carroll
It is good to see the recognition given to the medieval town of Tralee in the tourism heritage boards displayed now on the main street. When we read the Annals of the Four Masters we are reminded that Tralee was the burial place of the earls of Desmond. Read, for example, the following extract from the Annals, where the context is Earl Thomas’s execution at Drogheda in February 1468.
‘Thomas Earl of Desmond, the son of James, son of Garrett, who had been Lord Justice of Ireland, the most illustrious of his tribe in Ireland in his time for his comeliness and stature, for his hospitality, chivalry, his charity and humanity to the poor and the indigent of the Lord, his bounteousness in bestowing jewels and riches on the laity, the clergy, and the poets, and his suppression of theft and immorality, went to Drogheda to meet the English Lord justice, and the other English of Meath. These acted treacherously to him, and without any crime (on his part), they beheaded him; the greater number of the men of Ireland were grieved at the news of it. His body was afterwards conveyed to Tralee, and interred in the burial place of his predecessors and ancestors with great honour and veneration.’
