Having been contacted by concerned individuals, many working in the airport. The wall mounted fish tanks on the ‘Street’ at Dublin Airport were again brought to our attention. In 2006 AFAR did a demo at Dublin Airport and as a result had SEAHORSES removed from the ESTEE LAUDER Crème de la Mer tanks after hearing many Seahorses had died due to lack of feeding and regular care.

This is an obsure but alarming article. I had to read it twice to figure what it was saying: that it is a crime to advocate boycotting Israeli products in France. A man has been fined €1000 for organising a boycott of Israeli products; and the French appeals court and Council of Europe's European Court of Human Rights upheld this. ... read full story / add a comment

"Ironically, the only time in Venezuela that a TV channel was taken off air, constitutional rights suspended, and journalists arrested and assaulted since Chavez’s 1998 election was during the two days when he was removed from power in a short-lived coup in April 2002." "While it “condemns” some of the attacks on freedom of speech, it has little to say about the coup regime itself. This is because, for the IAPA, there was no coup. Its July 14 statement said the democratically elected Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was simply “stood down” — not kidnapped and dumped in a different country by balaclava-clad soldiers." ... read full story / add a comment

Serica, the British energy company, has found oil in the Slyne basin, off the west coast of Ireland. Under current licencing agreements, all oil found in Irish waters will belong exclusively to the finder, with no royalty payable to the people of Ireland. All exploration and development costs will be claimed back before tax is paid. Minor changes to the licencing terms, brought in by Eamon Ryan in 2007, won't apply to this find. In a Reuter's interview last year, Paul Ellis, the company's chief executive, said of the Irish exploration: "They are look-a-like prospects to Shell's Corrib prospects, and are attractive partly due to the tax rate in Ireland." ... read full story / add a comment
