This morning members of the Finglas Anti-Bin Tax Campaign, along with residents of the McKelvey Estate, ensured that all bins were collected in that estate. The City Council, unable to impose blanket non-collection because of the fact that the bin tax arrears are subject to an upcoming Supreme Court test case, have resorted to trying to impose non-collection of unregistered bins in various areas of the city. FABTC members and local residents monitored the collection in McKelvey estate and ensured that all bins, including unregistered ones were collected. This was done with due care to the health and safety of all concerned. The action was good humoured and was carried out with consideration for the difficult position the refuse workers find themselves in. Once again proof that the anti-bin tax campaign is alive and well in Finglas! ... read full story / add a comment

But he did for them both by his plan of attack. -Siegfried Sassoon. ... read full story / add a comment

A major bombshell was dropped on us An Post workers last Thursday, July 14TH when what we though was a Labour Court hearing about the fact that us An Post workers have still not received our pay increases under the "Sustaining Progress” pay deal going back to November 1ST 2003; was instead we were informed; that instead that The Labour Court had linked the payment of Sustaining Progress to the Collection and Delivery Agreement that is outstanding with the CWU! In other words, no one gets anything until this issue is resolved! ... read full story / add a comment

According to Danish tradition, the weather on one's birthday indicates whether one has been naughty or nice throughout the year. The jury is still out on US President George W. Bush. Heavy clouds blanketed the sun as his motorcade pulled up to Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen's Marienborg residence for his 2005 birthday. President Bush disappeared into the mansion to celebrate his birthday with Rasmussen, who presented him with a birthday present and a cake shaped like a Texan cowboy. At the obligatory press conference held afterward, President Bush offered his thanks to Rasmussen. `Thanks for the cake. I can strongly recommend the Danish birthday cake to everyone,' said Bush. ... read full story / add a comment
