A woman called Cindy Sheehan whose son was killed in Iraq is galvanising anti-war opinion in the USA to an arguably greater extent than any previous anti-war protests. She is camped at the side of the road with a small (growing) number of accomplices at Bush's ranch in Crawford (Waco) Texas for the last couple of days and is demanding Bush meet her and explain a few things to her. ... read full story / add a comment

Enda is still missing. My mother, wife of Micheál Ó Seighin (one of Rossport 5) is among those looking for him. He said the earliest he could meet them would be Monday morning. This is not good enough Enda. They are, as I type, staging a picket outside his house. Maureen McGrath, wife of Philip McGrath (one of Rossport 5) is also there. These people have homes and people to mind and farms to run. They have much better things to do than looking for their elected representative. Watch out Enda. We in Mayo have long long memories. The elections will come around and he will have to do some canvassing. Enda needs to take his job seriously and do as the people of Mayo, indeed the people of Ireland, want. Support the Shell to Sea campaign and put pressure on Shell to lift their injunction and let the Rossport 5 come home. ... read full story / add a comment
