Some of you may remember Saif and the ISM crew who were over here in Ireland a while ago. Saif got in contact with me recently to help publicise the 'Caravan for Palestine' they have planned. He reckons it would be cool to meet up again with some of the Irish heads he met whilst here..... July is looking more and more like a month to make a real difference...... read full story / add a comment

"I hope things will come around and that at the end of the day we will manage to save An Post from privatisation. You don't want to think the opposite, because it is your job. But the truth is that all the signs, everything is pointing the other way around." An interview by Kevin Doyle of the WSM with an An Post worker about the state of the union. read full story / add a comment

Students Against Poverty would like to thank all those who give their time and help over the last 5 weeks. With little recources and even less experinece we have managed to fill a 45 seater bus, of school students, to attend the G8 protests in July. From the start all decisions were democraticaly decided. A series of debates and discusions were held where members had a chance to speak about issues such as war, age discrimanation and anti_racism. Through a range of events, we raised over £2000. This meant that a bus seat only cost £15 which was essential as school students are generally skint. A big thank you to all those who donated. Unfortunately, due to exams, SAP will be diappaering for the next 2 months(hence the rush in fillin the bus). So we hope to see you all at the G8!

1998 was a pivotal year in European politics, it saw the governments of Ireland and the UK negotiate with armed factions on areas of joint constitutional concern. We call this the "power sharing agreement" in the ·"peace process". 1998 also saw the government of Spain under Aznar authorise contact with an armed faction to discuss areas of joint constitutional concern. We call this "one of the ETA ceasefires". read full story / add a comment

Last Mayday in Ireland we experience press hysteria in the run up to the EU summit protests. Some of these were really nuts - We were even told 'Anarchists plan to gas 10,000 Dubliners' (front page of the Sun). None of these predictions came true and amazingly our lap dog media never felt any need to publish any retractions after the event or even analysis as to how they were taking in. Now its happening in Scotland. read full story / add a comment

Anarchism in Ireland has been on the up in the last few years. Libertarian organised events have included large demonstrations like Mayday, RTS street parties, forcing the agenda on Shannon, as well as massively increasing our propaganda through newsletters, magazines and the internet. Sure, anarchism is still a minority past-time but as any bourgeois economist will tell you, it's the rate and direction of growth that counts! read full story / add a comment

The European parliament has renewed it opposition to the software patents directive, by making substantial alterations to the draft. The Financial Times says it has seen a copy of the amended directive, penned by the bill's rapporteur, Michel Rocard. Under the terms of Rocard's draft, software would only be patentable if it controlled a physical process, or a controllable force of nature. Patents would not be allowed for software that handles "the treatment, the manipulation, the representation and the presentation of information". read full story / add a comment
