        <description><![CDATA[I came across a book called Lebor an Clann Glas (Book of the Green Race) written by an Australian called Frank O'Collins who claims his family tree back to the Druids (Holly or Holy Men which he claims are the O'Cuilleain) in Ireland. I have read most of the book and have encountered quite a few inaccuracies and wild claims within the text. Is there any serious history buffs or scholars on ancient Irish history / mythology who could identify some of less obvious historical inaccuracies within this book (link below) and point to primary source material such as the extant Irish Annals / Book of Invasions or any other such texts which contradicts his claims?<br /><br />
I can't work out if his work mere fantasy, personal myth making or an attempt at very bad historical revisionism bordering on lies. For those who don't know Frank O'Collins he is the author of an 'open source knowledge and truth system of law and society called the UCADIAN model' which has a growing number of adherents to his mission to 'restore the law'. If he is pulling the wool over people's eyes it would be good to let others know if their future relies on shonky information being promulgated by him.<br /><br /><a href="http://one-ireland.org/sacred_texts/clann_glas/clann_glas_0010.htm" rel="nofollow">http://one-ireland.org/sacred_texts/clann_glas/clann_glas_0010.htm</a>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[How comfortable are you with a black Irish industry?<br /><br />
Tonight I passed by Barcode Nightclub in Clontarf and I couldn’t help but notice that the entire taxi line was composed of black taxi drivers. I’ve also noticed that the entire College Green taxi rank is now black. I was just wondering what the greater Irish public felt about this niche of Africanised industry? It’s obviously pushed many an Irish taxi driver to state his Irish provenance by placing some sort of Irish sign in their taxi plate.<br /><br />
Basically I just wondered how ready are we to accept an obviously un-Irish niche of industry in this country. It’s not uncommon for foreign workers to ‘colonise’ an industry e.g. Vietnamese dry cleaners in America, Chinese restaurants in Parnell St, Irish navvies in England etc. etc.<br /><br />
