With his contemptible inversion and perversion of events in Erris last Friday, Demsey is rubbing salt into the wounds of the activists who journeyed to Rossport to engage in democratic protest and, were greeted instead with its antithesis : Brown Shirted thuggery in the form of wanton batoning, punching, kicking, treading on, women being tossed over fences like capers, vilication, goading,etc, the list of Gardai brutality and veniality is endless. ... read full story / add a comment

Professor Enda McDonagh, the Chairman of the Governing Body of UCC, has announced the identity and remit of the "external and independent" person to review allegations of "corruption", financial mismanagement and bullying at the university. In a move that seems destined to delay rather than supplant a formal enquiry, the remit is to exclude all issues that have already been put before the Governing Body and to include input from Professor Michael Shattock, a co-author of the OECD Report on Higher Education in Ireland that is central to UCC's own restructuring plans (http://www.ucc.ie/en/restructuring/). The oversight of the review process by the very people either involved in, or investigating, the excluded allegations would appear to generate the potential for significant conflicts of interest. ... read full story / add a comment

The aim of Friday’s day of action was to prevent Shell working for one day. Campaigners split into groups with the aim of blockading the quarries, where much of Shell’s materials come from, and blockading the ‘Shell highway’ which the workers travel down to get to work. ... read full story / add a comment

It seems that President of Ireland Mary McAleese has put her foot in it exposing the states intended attack on the Constitution before the official announcement supposedly being considered in secret by all State Parties. In her address Mrs McAleese indicated that the state focus is to be the ‘Home’ and not the Family. The independence of her office must preclude her from such insider knowledge. ... read full story / add a comment

Former UN Assistant Secretary General Hans von Sponeck, Professor Bernot Biehler, and Senator David Norris highlighted the futility of attempting to make peace by making war. The shocking and bloody failures of the recent wars and occupations of Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine/Lebanon, demonstrate the urgent need to enhance and enforce the rule of international law, and to create international peace by peaceful means. ... read full story / add a comment

In the title and text of this article, I CONSCIOUSLY INSERT ’SHELL’ into An Taoiseach Bertie Ahern's statement, because HE CONSCIOUSLY OMITTED IT.

As the siege enters its sixth week Shell to Sea campaigners continue to maintain their morning pickets of Shell’s refinery site. Security outside the gates has been stepped up with the erection of a six-foot tall sheet metal fence around the main site entrance late last week. Around the same time Shell to sea signs were removed and defaced by Gardaí including one reading “community under siege”. Gardaí also ordered that the Shell to sea H.Q. trailer be moved. The trailer was moved a nominal few feet down the road and the picket continues. ... read full story / add a comment
