Syttende mai (May 17th) is celebrated by Norwegians in Dublin to mark the anniversary of the signing of the country’s first constitution, and independence from Sweden. Of all the countries in the in the world, Norway has one of the highest standards of living. To a great extent, this is because of the country’s natural resources, which are carefully managed through the state company Statoil. Statoil owns a chunk of the Corrib gas field and is working on getting more gas from under the sea off the west coast, so Ireland's natural resources are also playing their part in raising the living standards of the Norwegian people. Once again this year, activists from Shell to Sea joined in the festivities, distributing flags and leaflets to the Norwegian people and raising awareness of the fact that the Irish establishment are not doing such a good job of looking after our natural resources. read full story / add a comment

This is just a short Opinon and analysis, because details are sketchy and the Irish Times has the story. COSC was set up rather rapidly by the Dept of Justice in the run-up to the General election. It involved a reply to the burgeoning problem of violence against women and was set up under the aegis of 'Equality'- there seems to be a problem with the issue , as last night a press release from combined Violence against women campaigns including Amnesty, The Rape Crisis Network, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre and other concerned Non-Governmental Organisations asked for it's remit to be published and for it's work to be stopped. read full story / add a comment |
