leitrim / miscellaneous Sunday June 26, 2005 - 19:01 by R. Ellis
SLIGO MAYOR alderman Declan Bree paid tribute to Leitrim socialist Jim Gralton, during a recent visit to New York. Speaking at the Leitrimman's grave in Woodlawn cemetary in the Bronx, Bree said that Gralton personified all that was positive about the Irish and American labour movements. "He was a life-long socialist and trade unionist and a fighter for the rights of ordinary people. Jim Gralton was a working class hero," said the Sligo mayor ... read full story / add a comment

Sinn Fein/IRA have admitted that it shot dead a teenage schoolgirl in Derry 32 years ago and blamed it on the British Army. The admission puts to an end one of the most notorious pieces of Republican propaganda promoted over the past three decades - the the "Brits" murdered a "wee girl" on her way to the shops to buy milk for her mammy. The admission is the harbinger of Sinn Fein/IRA withdrawal from criminal behaviour, it is shoped. ... read full story / add a comment

Although plans for a South African style Truth and Reconciliation Commission in Northern Ireland have not yet come to fruition, some of the tangled threads of the troubles are at last being straightened out. A case in point is the IRA's admission that it was one of its snipers who killed schoolgirl Kathleen Feeney in Londonderry in 1973. More than 30 years after the incident, the IRA has finally decided to come clean. ... read full story / add a comment

The image is dramatic, one of two prisoners in Garcķa Moreno prison Quito, who yesterday allowed themselves to be crucified by fellow inmates to demand the return of "reduced sentances" (a normal first world penology benefit aimed at succesful reinsertion), rights which were stripped from the inmates of Equador's 36 prisons by the congress in 2001. The prison was built for 700 prisoners and presently houses 1200 without remission and adecquate nutrition. Statewide protests began by prisoners on Monday and extended to hungerstrikes in the prisons of Quito and Guayaquil on wednesday. It has been a little over 2 months since the collapse of the Guiterrez regime on April 20th. Yet little progress has been felt to have been made. This is felt by support movements and analysts to be due to excessive internal middle class interest in rattling rusty sabres whilst the poorest and specifically those of the Social Assemblies are further marginalised and neglected. ... read full story / add a comment

Roughly 10 local residents have set up a blockade against a bus which was taking a group of people on a tour of shell's developments in Mayo. The identity of the people on the bus is unknown, but the residents are working on the assumption that they are white collar shell employees (perhaps management). This is based on the observation that they are wearing shirts and ties and not hard hats. ... read full story / add a comment

Its déją vu all round in Rossport as local residents once again find themselves pitted in opposition to Shell operations in and around the compound, blockading vehicles engaged in work for Shell. Holed up in the back of a van you have an inter-generational mix of people from 13-65, cups of tea are being swilled back with great gasps of”ahhh”, and the ham sandwiches are doing the rounds. The song of the moment, “Going Out The Way You Came In” an oldie from the Irish Country Star Big Tom, is being played on Midwest Radio due to locals requests. ... read full story / add a comment
