I campaigned for the office of MEP based on a platform of independence. I wanted to be a voice of independence for my Munster constituents, neither to be beholden to any interest group nor to be forced to take positions against the interests of the people. There are a lot of people who felt unrepresented or under-represented and I wanted them to have a voice. I also wanted to promote positions that I felt strongly about, but had difficulty finding support in the political parties who are too close to special interest groups. ... read full story / add a comment

After a false start last Wednesday, in front of Judge Michael White, when it became apparent that no judge would be available until today. We finally kicked off the third trial in the ongoing search for justice for the Shannon 5.

Anti-War Ireland maintained a vigil at the Deepwater Quay in Cobh this afternoon where the US warship - the USS The Sullivans - remained berthed. Holding placards against the presence of the warship, several Cobh anti-war activists challenged various local worthies between 6pm and 7pm as they boarded the ship to sup with the captain and his senior officers. The members of the local Urban District Council had been invited to an on-board reception this evening, but anti-war activists spotted just three of the town's nine councillors accepting the invitation, though others may have slipped in through the back. Cllr Kieran McCarthy (SF) and Cllr Paddy Histon (Ind) made it clear to Anti-War Ireland that they were purposively boycotting the event; indeed, McCarthy has stood with the protestors throughout the visit. Disgracefully, however, the Labour Party mayor of Cobh, Noirin Doyle, was seen to board the ship at 6.40pm tonight, accompanied by Fine Gael Councillor Stella Meade. ... read full story / add a comment
