The Government are presently dismantling CE projects throughout the Country. This has implications for literally hundreds of organisations, most of that are run by local communities providing essential services that they have decided are vital to their area. No one appears to be harnessing opposition to CE cuts or attempting to organise the people who will be effected by them. Mostly, CE projects services are targetted at the people who have been forgotten by society. The, so called, community pillar of the social partnership have done little to insist on the protection of these projects. Also the workers on such projects are either long term unemployed, lone parents or people with disabilities and therefore have no power to resist the cuts. The only intervention by Unions has been to negotiate redundancy for supervisors. While I have no objection to this, some supervisors are now actively encouraging the closure of projects and ... read full story / add a comment

(12:59) Two bombs exploded outside the police headquarters in the north Italian port city of Genoa early today, smashing windows but causing no injuries. The blasts occurred about 10 minutes apart around 4.00am local time. Police believe the second, bigger, bomb was designed to injure officers investigating the first. advertisement advertisement 'The people who set these bombs wanted to hit police while they were investigating,' Genoa's police chief Oscar Fioriolli told reporters, adding that there had been no claims of responsibility. Investigators are leaning towards the theory that the bombs could have been set by the Albanian mafia, some of whose members are currently on trial in Genoa, or by extremists in the anti-globalisation movement. Italian police last week arrested 21 people in connection with violence perpetrated during the Group of Eight summit in Genoa last year. ... read full story / add a comment

Last week (3 & 4 Dec), Irish Examiner journalist, Michael O’Farrell, revealed that the Hewlett-Packard plant in Galway (recently Compaq, and before that, Digital), was producing vital software for nuclear weaponry in both the US and France. The Galway Alliance Against War responded on Thursday evening (05/12/02) with a hastily-organised protest. Twenty members of the group, in the guise of ‘weapons inspectors’ went to the plant in Ballybrit, to demand that all work on weapons of mass destruction be discontinued. We were prevented by security from passing the front gate, but our action got extensive coverage in the local media -Galway Bay FM, Galway Advertiser, TG4- and some in the national media. Since our protest, further information about the Hewlett-Packard programme has been brought to our attention, Follow-up activities are planned therefore. ... read full story / add a comment |
