Around 500 people took part in an anti-bin tax march in Dublin on Saturday. This was a good turn out given the state of the campaign but unfortunately fell a little short of the "reminescent of the 1980's tax march' DCTU quote that the Irish Times had run with that morning. (There were around 100,000 on the tax march). ... read full story / add a comment

I was absolutely outraged and appalled, but not at all surprised given this 'Government's' track record that they have refused to give Dublin Bus the 150 extra buses for 2004 and 2005 that they were promised by this 'Government' under the National Development Plan (NDP) and that they, and indeed the Greater Dublin Area in general need urgently, until they have opened up the bus transport market to competition and the privatisation of routes to their rich friends, with the embarassing and humiliating position where Dublin Bus have had to actually beg for More Quality Bus Corridors (QBCs) Not to be opened until they get their 150 extra buses as promised! One other side effect from this nasty, petty and vindictive move by this 'Government' is that our eldery and disabled will have to wait even longer to have the whole bus fleet fully wheelchair accessible. ... read full story / add a comment

Peter Benenson, the founder of the worldwide human rights organisation Amnesty International, died yesterday evening. He was 83. Mr Benenson founded and inspired Amnesty International in 1961 first as a one-year campaign for the release of six prisoners of conscience. But from there came a worldwide movement for human rights and in its midst an international organisation -- Amnesty International -- which has taken up the cases of many thousands of victims of human rights violations and inspired millions to human rights defence the world round. ... read full story / add a comment

Drip, Drip, Drip, the reasons were many and constant to examine the popular support for Irish owned airline throughout its growth. Its tawdy treatment of disabled passengers. Its poor worker relations in other countries and preference for non-unionised workforces. Its current struggle with the Irish Airline Pilots Association. Its history of fraudalent advertising. Again and Again it has proved to be "the unacceptable face of capitalism". This morning Ryanair will close a deal with Boeing to purchase at a cost 4.5billion€ a fleet of aircraft. Thus proving a clear commitment to the arms industry, war economy and utter disloyalty to the European project. ... read full story / add a comment |
