Craigavon Trades Council organised another successfull petition signing in Portadown Town centre on Saturday 24th September. As expected the response was very positive and supportive.There being a huge grassroots opposition to the impossition of this unfair double tax. However the one worrying trend was a certain ammount of resignation that for all our efforts the government would push this through come what may. If feel this is due in no small way to the over all lack lustre campaign mounted by the "Coalition".. Craigavon Trades Council can see the potential for this campaign to get off the ground but there seems to be nothing happening anywhere else!! ... read full story / add a comment

The Late Late Show 23 September 2005 Congratulations, at last someone has highlighted the disastrous state of the health service in Ireland. I am so delighted to hear that the Late Late Show has highlighted the plight most find themselves in when admitted to hospitals in Ireland. Hopefully at last something might be done to help the vulnerable elderly. Abuse of the Elderly in Irish hospitals is appalling and someone needs to investigate the hospitals in Ireland and how the elderly are treated immediately. In Ireland many of our senior citizens are at risk, vulnerable and invisible in the society especially when it comes to care in our hospitals, which our family have seen and encountered during the past 18 months in two of our Co Dublin hospitals. We were disgusted with the treatment of the elderly, which we witnessed. ... read full story / add a comment

This time "everyone" is going to do their best to avert apocalypse for the paycheck heads. As as you'd expect, facing a category 5 hurricane, they've ordered evacuation of one million people. And as you'll have learnt by now, everyone doesn't have a car to get out, and if you're very smart, you'll have realised that the rush on gasoline prices since Katrina didn't really help the poor folks stock up on fuel. ... read full story / add a comment
