O'Connell Street traders have objected to the disruption that would be caused as the street would need to be closed for up to 7 days to erect and then dismantle the stage.
The Phoenix park is obviously out because all the noise might disrupt the dignitaries nin farmleigh. Looks like the "Day of Welcomes" is gonna be off limits to people both from within the current EU and from the accession countries (due to restrictions of the freedom of movement for eastern Europeans)

This decision will possibly have an impact on the level of political protests that will take place on May 1st read full story / add a comment

Not sure of the exact details but this morning at about 11am there were four cops at the Leeson st. squat. Seemingly they attempted to break down the front door, something completely out of the ordinary seeing as (a) it's a civil matter and the cops had already stated that they werent going to get involved and (b) its a listed building they they would have had to get permission to damage. Didnt see any people from the council but the cops were talking to two old conservative looking types. They all left pretty soon when people started showing up. Not sure of all the details as I had to leave very quickly.
Whatever the case it certainly doesnt bode well for the squatters legal rights being upheld. read full story / add a comment

Early today Scotland Yard did a very unusual thing in calling a press conference after raids on "Islamic militants" , i.e. Muslims. They spoon-fed the media a story of finding "explosives" to justify the biggest ever operation of it's type against "terrorists" in British history . read full story / add a comment

As the Prohibition of Marijuana was done for the benefit of health-damaging industries like logging, pulp, chlorine, pesticides, petrochemical plastics, big pharma and the like, so too is the virtually inevitable Prohibition of Tobacco. Those who like the idea of another Prohibition, please step to the front of the "anti-smoking" crusade. read full story / add a comment

At the annual general meeting of SIPTU's Education Branch - which organises 2,000 workers in colleges - a motion calling for no investment in Coca-Cola by our pension funds (or by SIPTU's own pension fund) was carried.

This is in support of the campaign by Columbian workers and their unions to halt the intimidation and murder of trade union activists in Coca Cola bottling plants.

This is just a start, can you get a similar motion passed at your next union meeting? read full story / add a comment

Anyone with half a brain can see that Blair lied in order to scare the British (and world) population to support his position on invading Iraq. Yet no matter the phoney platitudes, dodgy evidence and spurious logic he inflicted upon the world, we knew he was talking rubbish. Iraq was not involved in September 11th, it did not have links with al-Qaida, and it had no WMD. The anti-war movement has been vindicated. read full story / add a comment
