Caoimhe Butterly was shot in the leg by soldiers firing live ammunition in the Jenin refugee camp this morning. A British UN Official was also shot dead. This is the second time Caoimhe has been injured this year by the Israeli Defence Forces. She is in Palestine acting as a human rights monitor as are several other Irish Citizens. IMC Ireland has published a lot of personal accounts from Irish citizens who have travelled to Palestine in Solidarity with the Palestinian people over the last few days and months. Some of the most up to date are linked to below. More complete information on the Irish Volunteers in Palestine, some of whom have been deported in the last couple of weeks, can be found at the website of the Ireland-Palestine Solidarity Campaign.

An event of gypsy and world music cancelled by Taylor's bar, in Galway, on
racist grounds went ahead in Richardson's pub in mid November with many
musicians and activists from different groups taking part.
Organisers report that, "We went to the door of Taylor's bar to inform
people that the event had been relocated.
"Some people asked the management why it had been cancelled. We are willing
to hear the responses they got and to have a meeting to try to reach
consensus as to what actions must follow on grounds of Taylor's response.
It is clear to us that a public acknowledgement that a mistake has been
made and a willingness to host similar events (without censoring the
mention of gypsies travellers or activists) would be acceptable. Otherwise
the issue will be brought to the equality authority."

 The Garda Compaints Board held a press conference about their
"Reclaim The Streets" investigation and told the assembled journalists
about the difficulties they experienced in trying to get to the bottom of the matter, with
Gardai failing to identify their colleagues and generally refusing to
assist the work of the inquiry. Media reports are focusing on this
particular issue, and once again radio call-in shows are full of discussions
about the rights and wrongs of what happened on that day and the
continuing fallout.
But there are many unanswered questions that are for all purposes being ignored by most journalists. It seems as if the latest information from the Complaints Board raises more questions than it answers. The problem of the extremely limited powers of the board to compel witnesses or take serious action, raised when Indymedia reported on the establishment of the investigation, has not gone away. |
