A revenue source has claimed that hundreds of taxi drivers are deserting their jobs, rather than submit to rigorous audit checks being carried out by the Department of Revenue. Rogue drivers have been amassing undeclared income, and under new tax clearance rules established by the regulator when the industry was deregulated, many are falling prey to the new tightening of regulations. ... read full story / add a comment

The Dargle Valley area of Bray is home to hundreds of high value homes, prices influenced by the spectacular backdrop of the famous Sugar Loaf mountains and views of the sparkling Dargle River. It is also home to the illegal dump on Love Lane. Of landfill proportions, this dump is being ignored by Wicklow CC officials in the grand tradition ignoring the start up of illegal landfill in the county at times when the local authority is not in a position to provide a service itself. Coolnamadra, Whitestown and Blessington all carry allegations that Wicklow CC in someway supported their existence in the early days of their lives because there was no other home for the waste, commercial waste having been banned at their own official landfills at that time. The same could be said today in Love Lane. ... read full story / add a comment

Ballymoney Sinn Féin Councillor Daithí McKay has just completed a speaking tour of the Basque Country. The Rasharkin man, who was there representing Ógra Shinn Féin, was to be accompanied by a member of the South African ANC but they were refused access to the region by the Spanish Government. Journalists who were to interview the Sinn Féin man were also subject to harassment from the Spanish authorities. On Friday Cllr McKay gave the opening address - in Basque - at the Basque Topagunea Festival, the first big festival since the ETA Ceasefire and which was attended by over 20,000 people. ... read full story / add a comment

Upstanding decent folk throughout the english speaking anglo-saxon world have had enough of suffering in silence at the latest assault of Satan on their values. As cable and network TV shows us Mr Brad Pitt's "first tattoo", others' attention and concern is aimed at the NHS (national health service) of Great Britian, where tax-payers are expected to pay for the removal of a tattoo from a navy veteran who is strong word here - transsexual. & Doctors warn on the risks of leprosy and syphilis from piercings. ... read full story / add a comment

Speaking to MEP's in Brussels on Thursday, former Irish army commandant and UN peacekeeper Edward Horgan said that the Parliament's TDIP Committee investigating the CIA's activities in Europe must call at least four Irish Government ministers to face questions about torture-related abuses at Irish airports: the Ministers for Justice, Foreign Affairs, Defence and Transport. The Department of Transport's figures for the first quarter of 2006 show that over 1,300 armed US troops are passing through Shannon Airport on their way to or from Iraq each day. At the same time, as documented in Horgan’s presentation, flight logs of aircraft owned or operated by the CIA show that Shannon has served as one of the most important nodes in a network of airports used by the agency to conduct its programme of "extraordinary renditions" for torture. It is a matter of particular urgency for Horgan that hundreds of undocumented prisoners are in imminent danger of suffering summary execution in order to conceal crimes of torture committed under the extraordinary renditions programme, and he thinks it is most likely that some have already been murdered. In a perversion of justice, members of government have demanded that concerned citizens present conclusive evidence of crimes of torture committed at Shannon Airport, while directing airport security staff and members of the Garda Síochána to harass, detain and arrest these same activists – including Horgan – in their attempts to gather such evidence. ... read full story / add a comment

Amnesty International's annual report on the use of the Death Penalty has been published today, and serves a reminder that China, Iran and the USA continue to execute the most of their prisoners. In 2005 over 2,148 people were executed in 22 countries, of whom 1770 were in China, 94 in Iran and 60 in the USA. 94% of those killed were in China, Iran, Saudi Arabia and the USA. An additional 5,186 people were sentenced to death so far in 2006, 8 children have been executed in Iran, they join the statistics of underage offenders executed since 2000, the complete figure being 26, the majority of whom were executed in the USA. ___________________________________________________________________ ... read full story / add a comment

the Bööög, is one of Zurich's treasures, and at the height of that city's Spring festival "Sechseläuten" or 6 bells, the 3.5 meter statue of a snowman whose head is stuffed with explosives is set alight. A group termed by Swiss press as extremist , calling itself the "1. Mai – Strasse Frei" (loosely translated as "Reclaiming the Streets on May Day"), is reported as sending a letter to the Swiss media claiming responsibility for the theft, saying the 3.5-metre tall snowman "had had enough of putting its head on the line for capitalists". ... read full story / add a comment

There was a well attended meeting held last night in Dublin where some of those arrested were present along with representatives from Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity, Anarchist Youth, Revolt Video, Peace Network and other campaigns. There was a lot of discussion of how best to help those arrested at Baldonnel and future activities to support the 4 ( Details will be released very soon) The legal support team who have been monitoring the recent events at Baldonnel have appealed for people who were present at Baldonnel to contact them with their accounts of the events. It is important that people write up their experiences as quickly as possible while events are still fresh in peoples minds Lots of film footage is currently being scrutinised by the Legal Support Team and we are aware that there is more footage and photos taken that day that may be of use in mounting a substantial defence for the 4. Would people please forward their statements etc. asap to: weknowitwasyou -at- riseup -dot- net Released On Behalf of Anarchist Prisoner Solidarity ... read full story / add a comment

For the past 11 weeks our Department of Education and Science and one of our Health Authorities have been in the High court spending millions of taxpayers’ money fighting to ensure that a young boy with special needs no longer gets the education that has been of great benefit to him over the last two years. I do not have to picture the spectacle, I know it well. ... read full story / add a comment |
