Have you seen 3-year old Madeleine McCann - now 4-years old since here birthday this past weekend

Friday, May 11th, 2007

What now of little Madeleine McCann?  

Is the little girl still alive somewhere and all the current distraction taking from finding her?
Or has she died - did she die that evening - are her parents involved in her death, and a huge cover-up- or is it a huge set-up ? Is there Portuguese police pressure to find some resolution to this - are Gerry and Kate an easy obvious target? Is there evidence planted? or is this something much more sinister - is it a horror story to think that Maddie’s parents are involved in orchestrating her dissappearance - and utimate death?
So many questions - no answers - no little Madeleine.
In Ireland, The Robert Holohan case with communities and a whole nation out looking for a little boy who had vanished - to find a story much closer to home of his death at the hands of a neighbour ‘friend’, and a disposal of his body in a bogland … are there similarities to be drawn here? Time will tell - or will we ever really know?

We’ve an Irish Business section, currently with the Enterprise Board offices around Europe, and Irish businesses and soon to launch the EuropeanIrish Online 24 hour 365 day a year Property Fair - if you’re an Irishman or Irishwoman looking for Property or investments in Europe, then there is a site for you ( www.europeanirish.com/property )

10. A section on Returning to Ireland from Europe

11. The Greatest Collection of St Patrick’s Parades, St. Patrick’s Festivals, St. Patrick’s Concerts, St. Patrick’s Sport, Music & Cultural Events ever compiled for Europe, and the largest compilation of events anywhere in the world, is at www.EuropeanIrish.com/stpatrick

12. For Irish based in Europe, there is a EuropeanIrish Radio & TV section, where visitors can tune-in live online to over 50 Irish Radio & TV stations.

What you see is a huge Irish world all across Europe
- one that most Irish people here & abroad don’t know exists.

So if you are travelling to Europe - on vacation, on business, or planning to move to live in Continental Europe, or you know Irish living in Europe, moving to Europe or friends planning to travel, then it would be great if you would spread the word to check out EuropeanIrish.com,
The Irish Heartbeat in Europe,
News, Information and Events from the Irish Scene in Continental Europe.

Hope this is of help to some of you, into the future, wherever paths may cross.

Siasy Collins.
