O'Connell Street traders have objected to the disruption that would be caused as the street would need to be closed for up to 7 days to erect and then dismantle the stage.
The Phoenix park is obviously out because all the noise might disrupt the dignitaries nin farmleigh. Looks like the "Day of Welcomes" is gonna be off limits to people both from within the current EU and from the accession countries (due to restrictions of the freedom of movement for eastern Europeans)

This decision will possibly have an impact on the level of political protests that will take place on May 1st ... read full story / add a comment

Not sure of the exact details but this morning at about 11am there were four cops at the Leeson st. squat. Seemingly they attempted to break down the front door, something completely out of the ordinary seeing as (a) it's a civil matter and the cops had already stated that they werent going to get involved and (b) its a listed building they they would have had to get permission to damage. Didnt see any people from the council but the cops were talking to two old conservative looking types. They all left pretty soon when people started showing up. Not sure of all the details as I had to leave very quickly.
Whatever the case it certainly doesnt bode well for the squatters legal rights being upheld. ... read full story / add a comment

Early today Scotland Yard did a very unusual thing in calling a press conference after raids on "Islamic militants" , i.e. Muslims.

At the annual general meeting of SIPTU's Education Branch - which organises 2,000 workers in colleges - a motion calling for no investment in Coca-Cola by our pension funds (or by SIPTU's own pension fund) was carried.

This is in support of the campaign by Columbian workers and their unions to halt the intimidation and murder of trade union activists in Coca Cola bottling plants.

This is just a start, can you get a similar motion passed at your next union meeting? ... read full story / add a comment
