FOREST CAMPAIGN GAINING MOMENTUM (pics available) Last Sunday about 60 people gathered at Damien House, Cootehill, before walking to a Oak woodland in Dartry forest. Local campaigners say the woodland is threatened by Coillte's mismanagement of Dartry and plans to cut several Oak trees in the coming days. Sem Karoba, a visiting ecology expert and independence activist from Indonesian occupied West Papua addressed the crowd and spoke of his love for nature and the need to change our culture of greed, waste and mistreating our environment. He called on local residents to urge Coillte and their political representatives to ensure Dartry is protected and preserved for future generations. The campaign is gathering momentum. Coillte have already cleared a pathway for machinery. Campaigners have placed petitions in local shops, developed an information website ( http://www.briansdesign.com/oaks ) and called an urgent public meeting for Thursday January 9th in the White Horse Hotel. All are welcome and encouraged to spread the word. ___________________________________-- INFO AND RESOURCES CALL AISHLING MURRAY |

Eire is strange idea.
De Valera a theocratic machiavellian character with notions of external association wrote a constitution for this mythical land in the mid 1930s, borrowing heavily from Fascist notions of a corporative state.
Eire is of course very unfashionable these days.
The Land of Erron occupies roughly the same geographic position as Eire most of the time.
Ireland is something very different.
Ireland is modern forward looking democracy with software galore and frolicking kids dancing nay raving at peace camps and crossroads day and night.
Ireland can be expereinced at the newly opened "Temple Bar" irish pub on Calle Ferran, Barcelona 08002.
Where's Eire?
hey well done, here is something we can do!
