On Thursday night, Scott Ritter the former UN weapons inspector for Iraq spoke to a packed room in the Menlo Park Hotel, Galway, at a meeting hosted by the Galway Alliance Against War. Scott was in Ireland to testify at Mary Kelly's trial, and spoke at length about her actions in disarming a US warplane at Shannon airport, and how he felt more people need to become active citizens, rather than just passive consumers, if we are to make into a reality the notion that both Ireland and America are democratic republics. ... read full story / add a comment

Shiúil sí saor as an chúirt i gCill Rúisc, Co an Chláir san oíche Déardaoin ach tá seans ann fós go dtógfar os comhair cúirte arís í amach anseo. D'admhaigh Mary go ndearna sí damáiste d'eitleán de chuid US Navy chun stop a chur leis an gcogadh i gcoinne na hIoráice. Labhair sí sa chúirt go ciúin, go réidh agus go huasal agus chuir sí tocht ar gach duine a chuala í. Dúirt an giúistís, áfach, nach féidir áird ar bit a thabhairt ar an fínnithe a albhair ar a son. In aimheoin sin, ni rabhthas in ann tromlacht 10-2 a fháil ina haghaidh. Bua mór ar son na síochána. Go raibh maith agat, a Mháire! ... read full story / add a comment

On the afternoon of 2 July people protesting the conditions at Maghaberry jail took over a sixth floor office at Dundonald House, headquarters of the Prison Services, to draw attention to the worsening situation. Last weekend, prisoners inside the jail protested and 7 prisoners took to the rooftop overnight to protest the lack of segregation in the jail and the new attempt to "double up" loyalist and republican prisoners in the same cell. As a result 4 prisoners have embarked on a no-wash protest. All visits have been suspended in response by the NIO. The protesters at Dundonald House hung banners from the windows and were able to have a spokesperson and relatives of prisoners speak to the number two person in charge of the Prison Services to explain the problems, including the lack of communication to families when they raise their concerns about treatment of their loved ones.

BERLIN, July 2 2003 Martin Schulz, German Socialist questioned Silvio Berlusconi’s suitability for his new post. The German legislator specifically raised Mr. Berlusconi's sponsorship of a new immunity law in Italy at a time when he is on trial in Milan on bribery charges. "Mr. Schulz," Mr. Berlusconi said in reply, cocking his head to one side and smiling, "I know there is a man in Italy producing a film on the Nazi concentration camps. I would like to suggest you for the role of leader. You would be perfect." Can someone please shed light on how this man has managed to not only become the Italian Prime Minister but also for some bizarre reason now holds the Rotating Presidency of the European Union? ... read full story / add a comment

Privatising the World: Water, seeds, genes, healthcare - very few things today are not to be considered saleable commodities. 'The Bottom Line' investigates the privatisation of the world and invites us to reflect on the 'common good' notion which is threatened by the decreasing role of the state and the prevailing trend to patent everything that obviously seemed to belong to society for generations. 21:25 Fíorscéal An Domhan ar Díol: Uisce, síolta, géinte agus cúram sláinte - is beag rud nach féidir a dhíol sa lá atá inniu ann. Déanann an clár seo cíoradh ar phríobháidiú an domhain agus tarraingíonn ár n-aird ar an meon 'leas na ndaoine', meon atá i mbaol anois mar gheall ar ról an Stáit i saol na linne a bheith ag laghdú agus an claonadh a bhíonn ann paitinn a fháil ar gach rud, fiú rudaí a ceapadh riamh anall go mba leis an bpobal i gcoitinne iad.
