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?

Two members of the radical anti-war Catholic Worker Movement were arrested inside Shannon Airport in the early hours of Good Friday. Jenny Hannon of Dublin and Martin McGowan of Sligo were detained by airport security and police after making their way into the airfield. They had constructed a shrine to the Iraqis slain in the recent U.S. military assault, conducted the Catholic Office of the Dead and planted a bed of potatoes. Despite the large police and army presence designed to ‘protect’ the airport, over an hour later they were still airside, where they peacefully continued their libation at the edge of the runway. In early February five other members of the Dublin Catholic Worker Movement were arrested after disarming a U.S. Navy warplane at Shannon Airport. There is now an urgent campaign to support their upcoming trial. Related Links: Pitstop Ploughshares | Catholic Worker Movement | Refueling Peace | Al Jazeera (in English) | Electronic Iraq

Greg Palast is coming to Ireland
for the Easter Weekend to give talks in Galway and Dublin on the new and
updated edition of his contemporary classic of Investigative Journalism -
The Best Democracy Money Can Buy. The talks
are being hosted by Indymedia Ireland and ATTAC Ireland.
Palast is best known for his series of exposes of George W. Bush's radical coup d'etat. The last time he was in Dublin in early 2002 he predicted with unnerving accuracy the Coup against Chavez in Venezuala. He also pointed the finger at the IMF as having it's fingerprints on the smoking gun that killed off the Argentinian Economy . He in writing and in person confirms every fear and suspicion held by activists who oppose the IMF / World Bank and their actions in the name of Neoliberalism throughout the World. For more you can see him on Video messing with some US IMC heads here or check out his own website here. |
