I have in front of me a document issued by the National Bus and Rail Union. It’s one page long and makes one of the most impassioned, informed attacks on the ‘privatisation’ mantra at the heart of this governments approach to public needs. I didn’t get mailed it, read it in a newspaper – it was handed to me as a single A4 page that someone picked up on a bus. ... read full story / add a comment

Nine of the ten anti-war activists arrested during the mass trespass at Shannon airport on 12 October 2002 will be up in court in Tulla District Court again on Wednesday. Most pleaded not guilty at their last appearance and the case was consequently postponed. It is expected that they will receive their sentences on Wednesday. The nine were arrested following the successful pulling down of the fence and a 100-strong mass trespass on airport grounds following an anti-war rally at the airport. Five of those up in court are from the rebel city of Cork. All hail the Peoples Republic of Cork!! ... read full story / add a comment

The defense secretary has denied reports that the United States is considering an arrangement to have permanent access to some bases in Iraq. Long, dangerous and difficult work remains in both Iraq and Afghanistan, Rumsfeld said told reporters aboard his plane, which stopped in Ireland to refuel. The flight was delayed several hours as workers fixed brake pads on the landing gear which broke during the landing. "One ought not to think of this as a victory tour," Rumsfeld said, noting that coalition forces in both Iraq and Afghanistan still are coming under sporadic attacks. "The task before us in Iraq will take a lot of focused attention over a period of time." Rumsfeld said that in Afghanistan he will discuss with Afghan leaders and U.S. military officials a formal declaration that major combat is over. He would not say whether a similar declaration for Iraq is imminent. ... read full story / add a comment

The media is an arm of Government - and nothing illustrates the point more than the act of the Kerryman newspaper in its issue of 18th April last when it featured a front page story on how Provo TD Martin Ferris was aware of an alleged threat against a mother by a gang of drug dealers from Limerick. ... read full story / add a comment

La comunitat resident musulmana continua les gestions per aconseguir un nou local que els fidels puguin fer servir com a mesquita. Després que el Govern els hagi respost negativament a la demanda per a l’ espai, perquè, segons el president del Centre Cultural Islàmic, Mohamed Raguig, “ ens han dit que no tenen cap local ni cap terreny disponible” , l’ entitat va anunciar ahir que sol·licitarà la col·laboració del copríncep episcopal, Joan Martí Alanis, perquè “ com a màxima autoritat al Principat” intercedeixi davant l’ executiu. La comunitat musulmana utilitza actualment com a mesquita un local ubicat a la planta baixa d’ un edifici de la carretera d’ Engolasters, a Escaldes. ... read full story / add a comment

TUI Congress Delegates Organize Solidarity with teachers and Schools in Iraq There was a standing ovation for Nuria Mustafa, an Iraqi citizen, when she addressed the TUI Congress in Ennis on Tuesday 22nd April. Nuria was invited to speak at a fringe meeting by Dublin City post primary delegates. Congress Standing Orders, at delegates request, changed the order of business in order that Nuria could address the whole Congress. Nuria called on Irish teachers to send delegations to Iraq and for Irish schools and colleges to twin with schools in Iraq. 2 delegates,wearing T-shirts with the slogan ‘Irish Neutrality RIP’, presented petitions to the Minister for Education calling on the Irish Government to end their political support for US foreign policy and the use of facilities at Shannon Airport. Numerous delegates signed a Network address list. It is hoped to co-ordinate solidarity work with teachers and schools and colleges in Ireland ... read full story / add a comment
