As you may be aware the Galway Alliance Against War has a new initiative aimed at instigating an inspection process for aircraft believed to be involved in the unjustifiable and illegal process of the' renditioning' of unconvicted and uncharged people who are 'suspected' of being terrorists. As part of this initiative the recruitment process involves signing a letter which declares that the signatory is opposed to the practice of renditions and will undertake to prevent the practice by supporting a process of inspections of the suspected aircraft. The text of the letter and the current signatories may be read here- http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88150

The EU commissioned Gallup, a very highly regarded polling organisation to dom a flash survey of the Irish electorate just after the Lisbon Treaty referendum. The results were widely released, but what was kept under wraps until today was a question about party support among voters.

Respondents in the telephone survey were asked if they usually supported and/or voted for a particular political party. There was no surprise that Sinn Fein supporters backed the No side overwhelmingly, but senior figures in the Labour Party must be pondering what it means when a majority of their supporters vote against the way the party leadership wants them to.

The Labour Party has yet to decide who will run for the EU Parliament elections next year. This poll will certainly make them think twice about who their candidates are. ... read full story / add a comment

The Tí Chulainn Cultural Activity centre, An Mullach Bán, in the picturesque ring of Gullion was the setting for Campa Náisiúnta Óige ‘08. The Centre is the jewel in the crown of South Armagh tourism and offers an insight into the rich cultural heritage of the region. The sloping hills of Slieve Gullion and meandering lakes between counties Armagh and Louth was an ideal setting for the 5th annual 3 day event.

From early Friday morning groups from throughout Ireland began arriving in South Armagh . By early evening a camp site was clearly evident to the rear of the Tí Chulainn centre.
