Mags O’ Donoghue, Chairperson of the West Cork Parents Action Group and her fellow committee members are mighty women when it comes to organising information evenings and workshops for parents of children with special education needs. On Thursday 29th September WCPAG had another line up of interesting and informative speakers at a well-attended event at the Parkway Hotel in Dunmanway. It’s fair to say that WCPAG are making a significant impact on the level of awareness of our children’s’ educational and other needs and that parents, professionals, service providers and teachers in West Cork have much to be grateful to them for. ... read full story / add a comment

A large group of Shell to Sea supporters blockaded the Donnybrook Shell garage this evening for the best part of two hours. There was a a heavy garda presence that attempted unsuccessfully to break the blockade and in the end only drew more attention to the protest. Members of Anarchist Youth, Labour Youth, UCD Students Union, republicans, Irish language speakers and a large number of non aligned activists took part in the blockade. ... read full story / add a comment

Wandering down the corridors of the four courts today we were met with a edifying sight. Dozens of John Gill's supporters had turned up. It was around 10.15am and already John Gill had a sizeable number of well-wishers around him.

He was kept busy shaking hands, greeting friends old and new and handing out copies of his affidavit to members of the press (Indy reporters included, indeed we were first to get a copy).

the half rood of rock belongs to one of the most diverse communities in europe. just like dolphins barn. just like any space reclaimed in dublin

Paddy Kavanagh's sonnet "epic" is familiar to most Irish readers, it's wonderful description of an argument of land ownership in the late 1930's in Ireland as 2 farmers (one stripped to the waist) argue over a "half a rood of rock". These days throughout Europe neither men nor women seem to bother stripping to the waist to lay their claims on barren soil anymore - but the issue of public space & how to reclaim it has in recent years taken on a great collective importance. Thus in Ireland we've seen the initiatives of the Dolphins Barn garden & more recently the Darmouth Square project. This evening I'm going to tell you all about the Forat de Vergonya" : A site of just over a hectare (quite a few roods) which many years ago was designated by Barcelona 's council, Catalonia's government & the EU as a future site for a rubber tyre pre-recycling storage plant complete with hotel.

Ms Geraldine Kennedy and Mr Colm Keena are to appear before the
High Court to divulge the source of the Leak which led to 'Bertiegate'.
The story published on 21st September 2006, led to the endless
political Machiavellianism with which we are all familiar, which handed
the moral perogative to prop the Government to Mr Mc Dowell -An Tanaiste.

The last time a tribunal compelled someone to divulge source led too to
the High Court in the Notorious Howlin Case, wherein Brendan Howlin
TD was 'compelled' by the Morris Tribunal to divulge his source on the
Mc Brearty Case. I was in the Court that sad day, when the concept
of TD privilege was dropped and the tribunal's power underscored.
Ms Kennedy stands by her decision to publish in the public interest. ... read full story / add a comment
