A large crowd braved the cold evening weather to attend the first Irish screening of the documentary on the trial of Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Eight - "Don't Let Shell Kill Again" , which was appropriately projected onto the outside wall of the Shell headquarters building at 52 Lower Leeson Street in Dublin, on the 12th anniversary of the executions. Sister Majella McCarron, in what will probably be her last public appearance, made a short speech to provide a context for the film, remembering Saro-Wiwa and the others who were executed at the behest of Shell, after a series of events which shocked the world in 1995. Sister Majella gave us an insight into the situation in Ogoniland today, and Senator David Norris read an excerpt from Saro-Wiwa's speech at his sentencing hearing in Port Harcourt, when he and his co-defendants heard that the special military tribunal had decreed that they were to be hanged. read full story / add a comment

This morning the DOHC [Department of Health and Children] press released on the OECD report on Healthcare. The report is set in a time period that ends at 2005. The DOHC decided not to add the link onto their website so I am publishing it here. Apparently we are doing quite well on Health, a bit of critical underspend and the necessity for the department to juggle the figures. Of course the 2007 Breast Cancer Crisis is not mentioned on this file,but directly under the link there can be found the statement by Ms Harney on the issue (dated last week- the scandal broke on the 4th of September). read full story / add a comment
