Book Launch & Street Art Events - Dublin Friday 15th October London-based photo-journalist William Parry will be in Ireland to launch his new book about Resistance Art in Palestine. The book, Against the Wall – The Art of Resistance in Palestine, is a stunning collection of photographs that capture the graffiti and art which have transformed Israel's wall into a living canvas of resistance and solidarity. Featuring the work of artists including Banksy, Ron E...nglish, Blu and others, as well as Palestinian artists and activists, these photos express outrage, compassion, and touching humour. They illustrate the wall's toll on lives and livelihoods, showing the hardship it has brought to tens of thousands of people, preventing their access to work, education and vital medical care. Mixed with the photos are portraits and vignettes, offering a heartfelt and inspiring account of a people determined to uphold their dignity in the face of profound injustice. read full story / add a comment

Professor Lars Mjøset, University of Oslo, Norway: Butler House, 16 Patrick Street, Kilkenny Friday 15th October at 7.30 p.m. Ireland Institute, 27 Pearse Street, Dublin Saturday 16th October at 3.00 p.m. Farmer, economist, development theorist, historian, and political activist, Raymond Crotty (1925-94) was one of the most original thinkers to come out of modern Ireland. He made history with his successful constitutional action in 1987 against the Government's attempt to ratify the EU's Single European Act Treaty by simple Dail majority vote instead of by popular referendum. Holding strong radical views, his advocacy of a land tax as a means of putting pressure on Irish landowners to use their land more productively pitted him against powerful vested interests. read full story / add a comment

One Red Flag One red flag, one red flag Just one red flag can keep the spark within our hearts still burning We will not sag, nor will we lag We will not sag nor will we lag we're not for turniing (Chorus) So let's make hay, while May Day shines While May Day shines the workers spines are not for breaking And while May Day shines we'll always find While May Day shines we'll always find there's hay for making. The worker's song can keep us strong The workers song can keep us strong our day is dawning And when it dawns we'll right the wrongs When it dawns we'll right the wrongs for we are longing. The earth the moon we'll have them soon The earth the moon we'll have them soon maybe tomorrow And when that blossom blooms we'll rid the gloom When that blossom blooms we'll rid the gloom, the grief and sorrow. (repeat chorus) One red flag, one red flag, one red flag......fade. © Michael Gallagher 2005 read full story / add a comment

In today's world millions of dollars are being spent by people playing games in virtual worlds. Wirtland shows how part of this money may be channeled to help poor third world countries. read full story / add a comment
