Resistance and protest started this morning with a 20 strong picket outside the Quad at 11AM where it is expected the Israeli ambassador, Evrony, will be having polite conversation and morning coffee with the president of the college at 12noon. Throughout the day the flying picket will be tracking him and entourage in their wanderings, if that's the right word, around the campus to further vent our outrage at his country's murderous onslaught against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and its ongoing egregious human rights abuses. ... read full story / add a comment

Tomorrow at 10.30 in High Court a very important case will commence. At issue is the right of citizens to speak out without fear, when they have been abused and damaged by the Irish legal system, its courts, judges, officers (solicitors) or officials. At issue is the VLPS movements campaign for a legal ombudsman, for an end to self-regulation by legal professions, for reform of the practise of law in this country and for the "outing" of lawyers who abuse the privileges of their professional positions to amass fortunes through insider knowledge etc in property development. At issue also, and most importantly, is the freedom of the internet. Whether all this is decided tomorrow and how it is decided, may depend on how much support is seen at the Four Courts tomorrow. Be there! ... read full story / add a comment

Up to 25 members of the Cork Shell to Sea support campaign this morning picketted the city's main garda station at Anglesea Street which is also the Munster HQ of an Garda Siochana in protest at the heavy-handed treatment of peaceful Shell to Sea protesters at Bellinaboy, Co. Mayo yesterday. ... read full story / add a comment

The debate did not begin at precisely 16.15 pm, because Michael Mc Dowell was still taking questions on Thornton Hall. The Taoiseach very quietly slipped in and as if by magic stood up for his less than robust defence of the monies. (received/gifted/loaned-etc) The order of busines was simple enough:- Bertie got 15 minutes, everyone else got 5 minutes. The Ceanncomhairle would not answer reply, confirm or deny the use of a 'script' and it really went downhill from there. ... read full story / add a comment

The myth of Shell’s newfound commitment to achieving “local consent” before proceeding with the Corrib gas project was utterly debunked this morning, as an army of around 200 police forcibly removed Shell to Sea protesters from their picket at the proposed Bellanaboy Corrib Gas refinery site. This underlines Shell’s disregard for the concerns of the majority of people in Mayo and reinforces the Shell to Sea prediction that the only way this project can go ahead is by the use of force. Clearly the state is more than willing to lend its strength to Shell to be used against the people it supposedly serves. ... read full story / add a comment

It's winter-time for those fur-clad cavepeople to come lumbering back onto the streets-a scene that makes as many people shiver from disgust as from the cold. It's also time for people who care about animals to shift the anti-fur movement into high gear and take any fur hag to task. ... read full story / add a comment

West Tyrone Ógra Shinn Féin organised a tour of Long Kesh Concentration Camp, last Friday 29th September. The tour was very emotive as the delegation visited the hospital wing where 10 Irish Republican Prisoners bravely give their life on Hungerstrike 25 years ago. The Cages, and H4 were also visited. All together 16 Young Republican activists attended the tour and witnessed at first hand Long Kesh, the site of so much tragedy and torture, yet also massive resilience and struggle. We salute the Prisoners, the Blanketmen and the Hungerstrikers! ... read full story / add a comment

Andras Schiff brought a world-class singer to Dublin last night. Not the first time he has done this - I remember fondly a recital he gave in The National Concert hall with Peter Schrier a number of years ago when they presented "Die Schone Mullerin" in a never-to-be-repeated and excellent recital. It is a matter of regret, perhaps, that there were few enough people in the audience (a lot of empty seats) to hear last night the truly remarkable voice of Robert Holl - a mature singer whose technique is non-pariel. ... read full story / add a comment

Professor Gerry Wrixon is entering his last term at University College Cork, having inexplicably tendered his resignation after winning a bitterly divisive contest to extend his tenure. He has presided over one of the most acrimonious and difficult periods of UCC’s history. Persistent allegations of financial and other impropriety at the university have dogged him, not least of which are those referred to in an article in the Irish Examiner last week and echoed by the former President Michael Mortell this week. They claim: * Appointments were made corruptly * Breaches of the law, of university statutes and regulations * Intimidation and bullying of staff * A general failure of governance * Concerns about the use of public monies * Unsustainable levels of debt were being accumulated under Prof Wrixon’s tenure But the Examiner reports are only the half of it.
