The EU has suppressed a report on European anti-semitism, deeming it to be too 'inflammatory'. The report blames the rising tide of anti-semitic incidents in Europe on muslim and pro-Palestinian activists. It also deals with the new phenomenon of left-wing anti-Jewish sentiment. Please see the link to the Guardian article. Note that criticism of Israel per se is not regarded as anti-semtic, but rather only abusive vilification is. ... read full story / add a comment

Various speakers took their protest forward blaming the government for its stance, some including the Sean Crowe of SF saying that the time scale should have been reduced not increased. ... read full story / add a comment

Just so you know, the 2002 Anti-Trespass Act has been used by Cork City Council to convict members of two Traveller families in Cork District Court. Michael Faulkner and Kathleen Delaney were both sentenced to a month in prison, suspended for two years and one year respectively. This raises a constitutional concern regarding basic human rights to shelter and liberty, both of which are threatened by this bizarre anomaly in legislation. ... read full story / add a comment

A view as to why Dubliners should support our current transport service.From my ongoing research into people's opinions of Dublin Bus, I have found that the vast majority of people do not realise the implications and changes that privatisation will bring.The introduction of the private sector into the public transport sector will not improve the commuters long term interests but will destroy a company that has developed into a profitable and publicly orientated transport service set in the interests of all the people.People say " bring on the private operators but they fail to realise that this ill thought opinion will bring with it, higher fare prices,less frequent service on non-profitable routes and the cancelling of routes that make no sense from a business aspect to maintain in use. ... read full story / add a comment
