Despite rainy weather a good protest was held outside Dunnes Stores on Grafton Street in suport of Joanne Delaney who was sacked for wearing a badge. At times the store was empty despite it being a Thursday evening - one of the busiest times of the week on Grafton Street. There was as usual an excellent response from passers by and several customers turned away from Dunnes when they saw the protest. read full story / add a comment

Nigeria is gorgeous with breathtaking scenery, filled with flowers, trees and free-flowing springs but of what use is the beauty in the midst of abject poverty and squalor. What value is the beauty if the Government can not protect the lives of its citizens. read full story / add a comment

The news that the minority irish republican armed force party, "RSF" intend to manipulate the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974 by laying a wreath to co-incide with the mildly controversial Orange Order march in Dublin later this year, ought present us with an opportunity to revisit the events of May 17th, 1974 and the other "Dublin bombings". It is simply offensive that a party which refuses to engage in constitutional politics either side of the border in Ireland, seek to promote their agenda by associating their protest against Orangeism with the suffering of victims of terror. Two "wrongs" may never make a right. A quick recap of what occured in Dublin Ireland between 1/12/72 and 17/5/1974 read full story / add a comment

Make it a day to say No! To Islamic Sharia law in Iraq! For secularism, equality and freedom! The Organization of Women’s Freedom in Iraq (OWFI) sends its greetings for this historic day to women activists all over the world. For centuries women have been struggling for their rights and for equality and liberation in all parts of the world. Major changes have been won, but nowhere do we have real equality, and in many parts of the world the oppression and exploitation of women are still striking. Iraq is one of those places. read full story / add a comment

Eoghan Contradictions Harris Plays Both An Orange Protestant Card And A Green Catholic Card: A Story In Four Parts Extract From Story By Pat Muldowney: "In the Sunday Independent Eoghan Harris played both an Orange Protestant card and a Green Catholic Card in an effort to explain away this historical context, in dealing with one of the last acts of the War of Independence. In so doing he sought to arouse sectarian feeling where there is little if any. It was the Republican side that overtly rejected an association of religion and nationality. The empirical evidence thus far uncovered supports this contention. In their courageous determination to keep politics separate from religion, and to sweep away centuries-old divisions, Republicans of the Protestant faith broke with the historical identification of their community, while Catholic Republicans defied the ultimate sanction of excommunication from their church. But in playing with sectarian fire, Eoghan Harris risks undoing 80 intervening years that have tended towards harmony and reconciliation."
An account of apparently sectarian murders by the IRA in Co. Offaly in 1921 was publicised by Eoghan Harris in the Sunday Independent in October 2005. The allegation of the sectarian murder of the apparently unassuming Protestant Pearson family of Coolacrease was made by William Stanley of Carlow in his "I met Murder on the Way - The Story of the Pearsons of Coolacrease" (2005). This account of events that took place during the Irish War of Independence was then promoted by Eoghan Harris and by the Sunday Independent.

Members of Cosantoiri Siochana along with concerned members of the public staged a candle lit vigil across from Minister for Just-us Michael McDo-ill's constituency office tonight. Despite the inclement weather, peace activists were determined to make a stand for justice, something our elected 'leaders' seem unable or unwilling to do. Perhaps they have a different set of 'allegiances' or are loath to betray their 'obligations'. read full story / add a comment |
