Cuba, Eritrea, Myanmar (formerly Burma), Iran, Nepal, Zimbabwe, and China. What do these countries have in common? They are all far apart, but they all share the same warped ideological front towards press freedoms. They are all in the process of denying press freedom, through the imprisonment of journalists, and by their actions, they are undermining the very fabric of society and basic democratic rights. ... read full story / add a comment

The recital given last night by Bettina Jensen and Karola Theill in The Peppercanister was their first in Ireland. Almost certainly it will not be their last. It was "an education" for the (older) people in the audience. Maybe the performance would have been lost on younger people. However there were one or two young people there - like concert pianist Finghin Collins who really seemed to be caught up in the performance, engrossed and happy. ... read full story / add a comment

Ongoing tale of how the State likes to criminalise those who show the State's criminal acts to be what they are. This time the tail is attached to a very rabid pitbull that the defendants unleash into the courtroom, and who proceeds to tear a hole into the whole saga and offer some sunlight to the defendants. Conor Cregan immediately runs for the sunlight and in no time gives the State a kick in the pants it has long deserved. ... read full story / add a comment

Members of Crumlin Labour, Labour Youth and friends, family and supporters of Joanne Delaney protested today outside the Ashleaf Dunnes Stores in Crumlin. There was an excellent response from passers as well as extensive coverage from the corporate media including TV3 news and the major (non RTE) radio stations including INN and Newstalk. The protest lasted for an hour and was supported by local Labour Councillor Eric Byrne, Labour T.D. Mary Upton and Labour Leader Pat Rabbitte in addition to a large number of local residents and supporters of Joanne Delaney. There was no hassle at all with the shopping centre security and the protest moved indoors at a later stage to protest directly outside the Dunnes shop. ... read full story / add a comment

McDonald’s workers in Queen St carried out a symbolic strike at lunchtime today despite the company’s threats to sue individual workers if they took part in union action. After the strike the company retracted their threat issued last night to sue any of their workers who went on strike today. The symbolic strike was in response to a number of Unite union members being rostered off by the company on Sunday February 12, when it was agreed the workers would be paid to go to a union stopwork meeting at the Town Hall. Joe Carolan, an irish socialist who is now the City Centre union organiser for Unite, organised support for strikers every step of the way today. He can be contacted in New Zealand for comment at [email protected] or at 0066 27 445 4959 ... read full story / add a comment
