In the Pitstop Ploughshares case at the Four Courts, the Judge's charging of the jury on Friday was difficult to hear. Three members of the public asked that the sound be turned up, - but without success. On Monday the Judge went through the evidence of the defendants and the defence witnesses at break-neck speed and sent the jury out at ten past three to consider if they could reach a unanimous verdict. This is a report on what followed in court on Monday and Tuesday. Apologies for all errors and omissions. Apparent quotes do not mean to convey exact words. ... read full story / add a comment

Today those elected to the Peruvian government earlier this year to serve till 2011 must each swear an oath of allegiance. Its part of a series of constitutional rituals which will lead up to the presidential inauguration this coming Friday which is also Peru's national day. The formula for the oath is very simple - (they often are) - each deputy takes his place in turn & recorded by stenographers and pictured on live TV recites the formula of loyalty. But already some deputies oaths have been rejected :- ... read full story / add a comment

Kilkenny City centre came to a standstill last Saturday afternoon as an Ógra Shinn Féin rally passed proudly through the streets of the City. The rally assembled outside Kilkenny Castle, the Norman home of the Butler's of Ormond. Those present listened intently as the rally, chaired by ÓSF local organiser, Peadar de Bluit, was addressed by Lisburn City Councillor Paul Butler, and Carlow / Kilkenny SF General Election candidate Kathleen Funchion, both of whom spoke about the significance of the Hunger Strike and the legacy left by it and the duty of those left behind to strive for the Ireland for which those 10 young men and indeed many patriots died for during the centuries of occupation by a foreign force. ... read full story / add a comment

Most Irish newspapers carried an advertisement yesterday which included details of the issues which will be studied in relation to the 'CC' case and the 'A' case. These are published as perameters for the fifteen member committee which contains three women, one TD(fine Gael) and two senators. The'CC' case prompted an expected constitutional crisis, wherein the 1935 legislation pertaining to the 'honest mistake' mechanism was allowed in the case of someone accused of statutory rape but of an age with the victim. Justice Mary Laffoy had no option within the perameters of that legislation but to release 'CC'. ... read full story / add a comment
