Ireland has abandoned 90 years of neutrality by allowing over one million US troops and refueling CIA Torture Rendition planes at Shannon airport. The Irish Government is complicit in the deaths of over 660,000 people in Iraq. By default the Irish people now owe a huge moral debt and financial debts and reparations to the victims and to the people of Iraq. ... read full story / add a comment

The leader of the banned left wing pro-independence political party Batasuna, Arnaldo Otegi, has assured that the attack perpetrated last Saturday morning in the Madrilenian airport of Barajas does not imply the rupture of the peace process.

It's becoming more routine to see armed police on the streets of Dublin. Whether it's meant to reassure the citizenry or intimidate them is not clear. It's hard to see how the presence of cops with assault weapons on the streets is going to have any effect on the level of crime. Other effects are more easy to imagine. We can only assume that the Garda with the automatic rifle manning a vehicle checkpoint in Ballybough this afternoon has given some thought to the effect of high-velocity bullets whizzing around on the children and motorists nearby, in the event of him deciding to use such a deadly weapon in a built-up area. ... read full story / add a comment

On a bright sunny Christmas morning, the festive community of Yeppoon on the Central Queensland coast of Australia arose to greet their day in joy and gladness, opening presents and family time together. Not so for many homes across this nation and indeed across the world as the reminders of missing loved ones taken in the grip of war that has ripped a gaping wound in the hearts of hundreds and thousands of families this Advent season. I sat alone in a peace vigil where I boycotted Christmas and Boxing day to remember those families, and those serving in this war-madness or in gaols. ... read full story / add a comment

The NIFC talks to Mags Glennon, chairperson for the Westmeath Cowpark Users Group who are campaigning to retain the use of community owned land used by landless farmers who pay fees to graze their cattle on these lands. Recently the Westmeath county council -by way of the Department of Agriculture - in Dublin, have decided to sell off the cowparks without warning to the highest bidder; showing little regard for the members of the community who depend on the use of the land for their livestock. ... read full story / add a comment

Rather than head off to their respective homes for the Xmas break, a group of out of town activists based in Galway procrastinated the sweet inevitable for a day in order to bear witness to suffering Palestine. An information table was manned outside Lynch's castle,Shop st, where flyers on Israel's Apartheid Wall were handed out to passing pedestrians. The peak experience of the day was Khaled from Palestine,chancing upon us and visiting serious heartening appreciation on our efforts after joining us for the remainder of our five hour stint. ... read full story / add a comment
