Amidst all the fear, all the pain, all the anguish, a sentiment exists that unites us all, that is dignity. Our dignity will not allow us keep silent. This is why they have to assassinate us with our heads held high. The following piece of writing is evidence of the fruits of our assassin state.

ON the day of the greatest Trade Union protest in 25 years, 10 students from Ard scoil Ris Limerick joined the protest. A month on and we are now being punished for it.

Rabbitte and O’Connor have decided to place the blame for driving down wages on the migrant workers themselves and not on the bosses. They want us to see our greedy employers as some sort of powerless bystanders, not as the enemy who make these decisions. ... read full story / add a comment

dublin / bin tax / household tax / water tax Monday January 16, 2006 - 16:34 by Bin Tax Campaigner

Last week DCC claimed that 95% of households have paid the Bin Tax. Today they claimed it was 80%. Here are the accurate figures as provided in a reply to Cllr. Joan Collins (Ind.). Waiver: 40,000 households Fully Paid: 35,000 households Not paid/Arrears: 36,000 households So over half the households due to pay have not paid the tax in full or have not paid at all. This does not take into account the fact that many households have withdrawn from the service (one quarter nationally) and that rates of non-payment are much higher than average in working class areas of the city. Check Indymedia for info on public meetings throughout Dublin this week. ... read full story / add a comment

Ms. Justice Macken is due to decide today on costs arising from Eoin Dubsky's failed legal challenge to US military refueling in Ireland. On December 13th she returned the High Court's judgement, denying that a "war" is an "armed conflict", and thus Ireland cannot be said to be "participating in war". Furthermore it is sufficient for the government to make Government policy verbally, never writing down what exactly it is they have decided to do. ... read full story / add a comment

:-) its a Sunday, and that means "mass" things. & in Chile the mass did the voting thing, and because it is a *legal obligation* of Chilean citizenship when in residence and of suffrage age to vote... Thus there really isn't a "not vote" count. But over 200,000 people have presented their documents in Chilean police stations today to prove they were more than 200km from their polling point. Considering Chile is a country which stretches for over 6,340 kilometres in length, its quite easy to dodge the polls. ... read full story / add a comment
