Sometimes politicians have to lose to win so the other side can show its true colours. Trump is the standout example, says Prof James Allan. Had he won in 2020, we would not have had the blitz of the last four weeks.

No country in the developed world should be better able understand the life and death livelihood struggle that rages for a million tenant farmers in the south of Pakistan more effortlessly than Ireland. However, Ireland in fact appears to be complicit in directly undermining their struggle, through its support of the corporate agenda being aggressively pushed by the European Commission in ongoing negotiations on the liberalisation of trade in services. At this weekend’s Irish Social Forum (Oct 17-19), the possibility of responding to our governments’ complicity with a peoples’ solidarity will be explored by a speaker representing the struggles of these communities. ... read full story / add a comment

It is clear from comments made by Martin Cullen yesterday at the launch of his latest campaign to tackle waste that privitisation and incineration are firmly on the Governments agenda. However the amount of waste we produce is clearly at an unacceptably high level. If the people of Ireland do not take more responsibility for our waste by reducing, reusing and recycling we will all lose out in the longer term. ... read full story / add a comment

Last night Independent TDs put down a motion, supported by the Greens and Sinn Fein, one element of which was to condemn the imprisonment of Joe Higgins and Clare Daly. (Regrettably, as Sinn Fein pointed out it made no mention of other protestors.

The responses from PD Ministers Harney and O'Malley are fascinating, an all out attack on the left, Higgins, the SP, even the shinners. The UCD protests even get a mention from harney.

This has already been covered in the mainstream media, so I will be brief. More than fifty people took part in the hour-long picket. Copies of over 5,000 signitures were handed in to Mary Harney's office and also to Bertie Ahern's office. These signatures were collected during the 24-hour fast held outside the GPO by six of the workers from the North Inner City. The protest was also attended by Job Initiative workers from other affected areas.

Pictures:

I'm also including a photo of a picket placed on the FÁS offices in Baggot Street on 30th September. On that occasion 16 Job Initiative workers from the North Inner City first picketed FÁS, then picketed BOTH sides of Leinster House. A group of JI workers from the Liberties area had also picketed Leinster House earlier that day. ... read full story / add a comment

A group of friends decided to re-jig Food not bombs in Dublin. We reclaimed food prepared into lovely veggie burgers and then went to St Stephens Green to give the free food out to hungry passers by and the homeless who thought it was lovely we got moved on several times by the hostile park keepers, who then called the police when we were reluctant to exit the park just for giving out free food. ... read full story / add a comment
