The prosecution of a man for burning the Qur'an shows how Islamic blasphemy codes are becoming embedded in criminal law. Coming up with a legal definition of 'Islamophobia' will accelerate this process, says Sam Bidwell.

An inability to read or write may not conform to some people’s idea of a disability but whatever your view about that, few would disagree that it is a very disabling circumstance to live with. In speaking to Bernadette Collins who manages the North West Cork Adult Basic Education Service, what is shocking to hear is that by the age of just 14 or 15 many people have decided that it is already too late. What follows is a life full of serious inconveniences and problems, compounded by deep-seated feelings of embarrassment – or even shame - about not being able to read or write. ... read full story / add a comment

A police cordon has gone up around the area, primarily it seems to keep the media frenzy at bay.

Today, led by the indefatigable and omnipresent, Dr. Gerry Cowley, Shell to Sea activists along with some young turks from Ogra Sinn Fein highlighted the plight of the Rossport 5 outside the main entrance to the Galway races in Ballybrit and when the traffic into the race course began petering out did the same again outside Entrance B. From the frequent warm expressions of solidarity directed at Gerry, it is clear, he is widely recognized and that his efforts on behalf of the Rossport 5 and his spearheading of the campaign to send Shell to Sea are, likewise, widely lauded.

After our stint on the frontline, the good doctor announced his attention of going into the race meeting to winkle out Ahern from the Fianna Fail corruption tent in order to shame the bugger (the 25 euro entrance fee kyboshed our good intentions to join him). After that, J.C was off to Cloverhill stir to visit the 5. The protests continue tomorrow in Ballybrit - please join us outside Entrance C @ 12 noon?. ... read full story / add a comment

Christian fundamentalism - by campaigning against, denouncing, and

It is hoped that more branches within the union will take up this issue and that by next year's annual congress a campaign will be launched in the union to make this a reality. ... read full story / add a comment

Tonight, the great 'n good, the rotten 'n corrupt of Fianna Fail, with heads down ran the gauntlet of our contempt as they headed into the Radisson hotel for their contemptible ego-fest, Ahern, looking bovine, if not ovine crept sheepishly by, well ensconsed in his security car and Special Branch minders. A similiar scourging is planned for this miscreant at tomorrow's Galway Race's. ... read full story / add a comment
