An Ógra Shinn Féin motion calling on the party to boycott the World Economic Forum was passed at todays Ard Fheis in the RDS, Dublin. The motion which was opposed by the Ard Comhairle went to a recount and was passed by a slim majority. The Ard Comhairle backed ammendment called for a review of the partys position.

When a publican wants to renew his license to sell intoxicating liquor we are all equally entitled to make an objection, in writing or in person to the District Court. If the same guy wanted to start, say, a salmon farm in a nearby estuary (polluting it), he would have to post notices in the papers to alert the public of his plans, who once again could try to stop him with objections and appeals. If his business involved selling lethal weapons for export to regimes which torture and kill their opponents, guess what, his license application would be dealt with in secret by Mary Harney's functionaries in the Department of Trade, Enterprise and Employment. No public scrutiny, not even parliamentary scrutiny. read full story / add a comment
