Hardly a novel idea as others have done this before, but we shall recap on what has been a week full of enjoyable posts in the Irish blogosphere.

- John has a very absorbing post about his baby daughter connecting with the spiritual world.

- Another John, this time of Fústar, has a great piece on Halloween.

- Arguing for the merits of semiotics is Michael Larkin at Disillusioned Lefty.

On the downside, Sarah Carey has taken it upon herself to tell everyone else what actually happened in Monaghan when five people lost their lives a few weeks ago. She reaches the conclusion, before any inquest has taken place, that Dermot Thornton was to blame for the accident. In a post that she has since taken down, Sarah says

"What is he? Some kind of hero because his dangerous driving killed him and his friends?".

For a blogger to pass an opinion off as fact is disgraceful. For a Sunday Times columnist to do it is unforgiveable. Only when two relatives of the deceased emailed her to complain about her post did it get taken down.

Sure, it may emerge that Thornton was to blame. But let's wait until we have the facts.
