"It is effective” says Fatme, of the looting of the museums and ministries,
“By destroying a people’s heritage, you destroy their past and future. We have been made -
to them - a people without a past - our records and archives are destroyed, burnt in the
ministries. We become a people without names, no records to say we exist. It is not the
objects themselves we are sad about, it is what they represented to us. We are the oldest
civilisation, but we are presented to the world as terrorists, as fanatics. Only people who
fight with small guns are called terrorists. Bush, who bombs us with cluster bombs, and
strangles us with the embargo, is a ‘civilised man.’".

"And at times what a brilliant party, a mellow Police presence, a bizzare eclectic mix of music (Cyndi Lauper!)which went down a storm with the crowd. Best of all to me was the crowd. Kids, teenagers, locals, and members of the areas growing immigrant community came together. It was everything an RTS should be - peaceful, joyous, and a celebration of what a city community could be".

The IAWM has called a National Assembly for 10th May in Liberty Hall, Dublin. This article
is a critique of the widely published agenda for the Assembly which was posted to Indymedia
recently.
"At present, the movement is not a democratic movement. It is ad hoc. Those who assumed responsibility for running a national campaign should be thanked and congratulated. Now, however, we have the time and space to properly and democratically constitute the Irish Anti-War Movement. The forthcoming assembly provides the first opportunity to set this in train. The status of this assembly should be seen as interim or provisional; a preliminary gathering dedicated to the proper establishment of a democratic Irish Anti-War Movement."

The Reclaim the Glen Group in Cork are appealing for urgent action as developers threaten to destroy a rare nesting place for sandmartins. Last Friday Cork City Council served an Enforcement Order on developers working at the former Murphy's Quarry in Goulding's Glen on Cork's Northside, ordering an immediate halt to work on the site. This was a full week after the builders started to demolish the sandbank which is home to several hundred pairs of nesting sandmartins - a rare species in Ireland.
Incredibly the developers D&J Construction (D&J Coleman) ignored the Enforcement Order and work continued at the site over the weekend. Yesterday one concerned citizen risked personal injury by jumping on the JCB which was demolishing the sandbank. Gardai were called and the protester was taken to Mayfield Garda Station. He was released an hour or so later. Full story

Eye-Witness Report: I decided to lodge a complaint in Pearse St. Garda
station [Dublin]. This is when it got really interesting. After a 25min. wait, I
finally
got the attention of the sergeant-on-duty.The conversation went somthing like
this:Me: You have heard my story, I'd like you to register my complaint Sgt: You do realize that,unlike the flower sellers in grafton street, for example, many of those engaged in this trade are unlicenced. Me: Why then weren't they asked for their licence or their names and addresses, or even arrested? Sgt: You should be aware that many flower-sellers use this trade as a front for pick-pocketing. Me: Is it then the policy of this department to confiscate the property of suspected pick-pockets? Sgt: What has this got to do with you? What's your interest in all this?
