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). ... read full story / add a comment

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. (creative urban use no?) ... read full story / add a comment

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

In Mayo, hundreds of police are being used to force Shell contractors through the picket of local people at the site of the disputed giant gas refinery at Ballinaboy every morning. Today at 1PM, supporters of the Shell to Sea Campaign gathered at the Shell Headquarters of Shell Exploitation and Production Ireland,(52 Lwr Leeson Street) in Dublin, to express solidarity with the besieged people of Erris. Activists from political groups such as Workers Solidarity Movement, Grassroots, Sinn Féin, The Socialist Workers Party, the Green Party, and others, as well as many people who belong to no group except Shell to Sea, blockaded the entrances to Shell's Corporate Base on Leeson Street at lunchtime. ... read full story / add a comment
