    The government has appionted ambassadors without assesing their 
contribution to the Nepali society.  Lok Bahadur Shrestha, who goes 
Dhaka, is a blue-eyed boy of former Prime Minister Marich Man Singh.
The interim government had seized his passport and Prime Minister
Koirala had to sack him from the post of Cheif Secretary.  His brother
is a rich contractor and is reported to have contributed 1.7 million
to the Nepali congress through Ganesh Man Singh.  Jitendra Raj Sharma
who goes to Cairo, had been involved in rice scandal that had forced
then minister for Agriculture Hari Bahadur Basnet to loose his job
while agricultural Secretary Surendra Raj Sharma was sent to jail.

endind July 15, published by the Nepalese government says the price
statistics of the past years reveal that the level of inflation 
has been rising at a faster rate in Nepal.

DATELINE: KATHMANDU

 BODY:
    Supporters of  Nepal's  former partyless monarchical system, the Panchayat,
mounted a small protest at Kathmandu airport on Friday as King Birendra arrived
to leave on a trip to India, witnesses said.

    The some 200 supporters, headed by the last Panchayat prime minister, M.  M.
Singh and including some Tibetan monks and students, shouted slogans such as
"Our King and our country are dearer than our lives" and "Long live the King."

    The demonstration marked the first time Panchayat supporters had
demonstrated openly since Birendra was forced to introduce a multi-party system
in  Nepal  following mass protests in which 500 people were killed in 1990.

    King Birendra left for India aboard a special aircraft for a five-day
private visit, palace sources said.

Jeff, we're not doing very well.  We haven't even come close to a medal
yet nor are we likely to get one.

Gary O'Toole was a faint medal prospect inthe swimming but he swam badly.
Wayne McCullough still has a chance of a boxing medal but I believe
that his potential quarter final opponent is pretty strong.  Paul
Griffin came closer to hitting the medical officers than he did to his Zambian
opponent.  Niall O'Tooleis out of the rowing.  Things are hardly likely
to improve when the track and field gets underway.

Article 4 of the Constitution of Ireland reads:
"E/ire is ainm don Sta/t no/, sa Sacs-Bhe/arla, _Ireland_.
(_Ireland_ is in italics in my copy). This translates into "The name of the
State is E/ire, or in the English language, _Ireland_".

The Irish call Ireland Ireland when speaking in English, (which is what
most of us speak all the time). I think the Irish themselves are a much
better judge of the best name to use than Mr Hallam-Baker.

That's a very broad brush you're using there, Phil. And it's particularly
wrong-headed when you consider that those most insistent in the incorrect
use of "E/ire" include Mr Paisley & co., who certainly fit the bill as
"apologists for murder and hatred".

"Southern Ireland" is Cork and Kerry and such places. I presume that you

We've thrashed out the issue of the name of the State before here, and
I think the conclusion is that depending on the context it is (in
English) either "Ireland" (as in the Constitution, 1937), or "The
Republic of Ireland" (as in the The Republic of Ireland Act, 1948).
While in specifically legal contexts like extradition orders we might
expect that it matters which one you use, it's unreasonable to
criticise someone for naming the country "Republic of Ireland" on
letters, and in cases where one wants to indicate the part of the
island that is not in the UK, this is clearly the best term.

This, again, has nothing to do with Celtic culture. Just to say that
the Serbian side, while filthy and brutal in some of its atrocities,
has clearly been misreported as the sole aggressors in the Yugoslav
conflict. If the weight of EC and international opinion were not such
as to block one's view of the culpability of both sides, who knows but
that we might see some willingness to negotiate on Milosevic's part? If
you back an adversary into a corner, and then show him a landlocked
future (whereas Croatia, if you see, commands the Adriatic), you can
expect endless defiance. It's all very well to negotiate, but what if
negotiation allows the wealthy Europeans to come in and carve up your 
country into whatever shape suits them?

Well done Clare !.

I went to the semi-finals in Limerick (while at home on holiday) and have
to say that Kerry didn't look that great against Limerick either. All
this doesn't say much for the Cork side who lost to Kerry in the first
round.

I notice that the final was played in Limerick.
After the semi-final I was under the impression that the final would
be played in Killarney. Something about an agreement between Kerry
and Clare to alternate championship ties between Killarney and Ennis.
Was this not true or was another arrangement worked out for the
