The recital given last night by Bettina Jensen and Karola Theill in The Peppercanister was their first in Ireland. Almost certainly it will not be their last. It was "an education" for the (older) people in the audience. Maybe the performance would have been lost on younger people. However there were one or two young people there - like concert pianist Finghin Collins who really seemed to be caught up in the performance, engrossed and happy. ... read full story / add a comment

Ongoing tale of how the State likes to criminalise those who show the State's criminal acts to be what they are. This time the tail is attached to a very rabid pitbull that the defendants unleash into the courtroom, and who proceeds to tear a hole into the whole saga and offer some sunlight to the defendants. Conor Cregan immediately runs for the sunlight and in no time gives the State a kick in the pants it has long deserved. ... read full story / add a comment

Members of Crumlin Labour, Labour Youth and friends, family and supporters of Joanne Delaney protested today outside the Ashleaf Dunnes Stores in Crumlin. There was an excellent response from passers as well as extensive coverage from the corporate media including TV3 news and the major (non RTE) radio stations including INN and Newstalk.

The protest lasted for an hour and was supported by local Labour Councillor Eric Byrne, Labour T.D. Mary Upton and Labour Leader Pat Rabbitte in addition to a large number of local residents and supporters of Joanne Delaney. There was no hassle at all with the shopping centre security and the protest moved indoors at a later stage to protest directly outside the Dunnes shop. ... read full story / add a comment

McDonald’s workers in Queen St carried out a symbolic strike at lunchtime today despite the company’s threats to sue individual workers if they took part in union action.

After the strike the company retracted their threat issued last night to sue any of their workers who went on strike today.

The symbolic strike was in response to a number of Unite union members being rostered off by the company on Sunday February 12, when it was agreed the workers would be paid to go to a union stopwork meeting at the Town Hall.

Joe Carolan, an irish socialist who is now the City Centre union organiser for Unite, organised support for strikers every step of the way today. He can be contacted in New Zealand for comment at

It was recently discovered that the physics department basement in UCC houses nuclear material. That is not necessarily unusual. Hospitals and labs also keep small quantities of radioactive materials even in this country. What is unusual is that UCC has a dismantled nuclear reactor, a small amount of plutonium, and two and a half tonnes of uranium. And they have been there for twenty years
