éirígí Dublin City Councillor Louise Minihan was handed a two month suspended sentence and a €1,500 fine on Friday last [February 25] following her convictions on charges of assault and of causing criminal damage. The convictions arose from a high-profile protest against the under-funding of the health service which took place on November 1, 2010. As part of that protest Louise poured diluted red paint over the clothing of the then Twenty-Six County Minister for Health Mary Harney at Cherry Orchard Hospital in Dublin. ... read full story / add a comment

These were a series of tweets received earlier tonight (late night, early morning Egypt time) from activists that had been demonstrating against the government in Tahrir Square. The most disturbing thing as someone receiving and trying to report these, was the media blackout that came along with the attacks. Al Jazeera was MIA. It has been on Egypt for a while. The Egypt Live Blog has been dormid for days and is now actually not even found in AJ's blogs page. There were NO news networks there to report on these attacks. Hours later, AJ produced a report, this after we bombarded their Libya live blog with pleas for coverage. This is what we received between and around the hours of 8 and 10 pm US Eastern time. (Thanks to the comrades of APIC(APICONG) for putting these together. http://apicong.blogspot.com/) ... read full story / add a comment

The first Re:Public2011 event in the Button Factory on the 15th of February was such a great success., we have been encouraged to hold another big Dublin debate as soon as possible. It was a full house and had really great energy. The audience were amazing. We trended on Twitter because people were tweeting so much. The candidates all seemed to enjoy the opportunity to engage. We hope that after they are elected and sitting in the Dail, they will still enjoy that opportunity, because the next Dublin debate will be with elected TDs ... read full story / add a comment

“Office Of The High Commissioner Of Human Rights The right to adequate housing (Art.11 (1)) : . 12/13/1991. CESCR General comment 4. (General Comments) Habitability.
