Will we see a lily at Easter? My grandfather fought in the first world war. He was in the Munster Fusiliers and fought in France and Belgium, and also at Gallipoli. I have no problem with people commemorating the first World War, and the many Irish men and women who were caught up in it. But I do have a problem with the Red Poppy, which is the symbol of the British Legion. As another contributor to this site recently put it: "[The Poppy] is worn to commemorate ALL of Britain's acts of war since the Great Slaughter of 1914-18- and that includes the Black and Tan War, Bloody Sunday, the invasion of Iraq, and the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. If you want to wear a poppy, do so by all means. Just be sure you know what it stands for" So I think it's amazing that a supposedly neutral Internet Search Engine like Google should plaster a symbol associated with the British Army on the front page of its Irish site. read full story / add a comment

About thirty people protested tonight at the Shell Oil Petrol Station in Blackpool, Cork to mark the anniversary of the Shell Oil sponsored execution of the Ogoni activist Ken Saro-Wiwa. The protest was called by Cork Shell To Sea to mark the ongoing resistant and bloody struggle by the Ogoni people in Nigeria against the Shell Oil Corporation. It also aimed to promote the link between the ongoing struggle against Shell Oil in Rossport in Mayo and the international activities of the Shell Corporation which in the case of the Ogoni lands has led to huge environmental damage, resource robbery and repression at Shell’s behest. A huge banner proclaiming Nigeria 1995-Mayo 2005 was hung over the front of the Shell Station. Gardaí were in attendance but did not intervene. read full story / add a comment

Below is the text of the letter which representatives from Ogoni Solidarity Ireland, Afri and Shell to Sea sought to hand in to Shell's Headquarters at Corrib House today, November 10th. The letter was accompanied with a wreath in memory of Ken Saro Wiwa and the Ogoni Eight, who were executed 10 years ago today. At first Shell refused to even respond to us, but eventually they accepted the letter through the gap in the plate glass door at the side of the building. read full story / add a comment

The CW5's 2 main statutory defences to the charges were ruled out as 'inadmissible' this morning by Judge Donagh McDonagh, who was then rather suddenly forced to 'pull the plug' and send the jury home after his relationship with a certain Mr. Bush was revealed to the Court by defence counsel. read full story / add a comment

The usual Sunday Evening Liturgy in the Dublin Catholic Worker House was followed by soup and an Open House Gathering where all were welcome. This week was more poignant than normal because of the realisation that our friends may be going to jail. This could be the last time for a while that we can sit in community and literally, break bread together. Tomorrow, the jury decides. read full story / add a comment |
