In light of the Moriarty Tribunal report into payments made to Charles J. Haughey, it seems as good a time as any to reflect on the career and influence of one of the most controversial politicians - some would say the most controversial politian - that Ireland has ever seen. We now have a clearer, almost forensic, understanding of what Haughey gained from public office, but what about the balance to that? What did he give to the Irish people? What did he leave behind? What is his true legacy? read full story / add a comment

Yet another story of nationalisation in the oil and gas industry. There may also be some interest in the fact that the attempts to raise consciousness of the potential pitfalls of getting involved in projects like Corrib don't rate a mention. read full story / add a comment

Everyone remembers the appalling events surrounding the murder of anti-Shell activists including Ken Saro Wiwa in Nigeria in 1995. But the hot summer of ''95 was also the year of the Greenpeace campaign against Shell UK to stop the company from dumping the Brent Spar platform at sea. Talking to Shell people, you find that they still feel that they were right, and the British environmental group was misguided when it campaigned to have the disused rig dismantled on shore. But nevertheless, the debate was certainly won by Greenpeace, with Shell eventually giving in after a large scale campaign of direct action, blockades, occupations and pickets. The fact that Russian environmentalists have got in touch with the lawyers who represented Greenpeace, as outlined in the Guardian story below, must be causing disquiet in the Shell boardroom. They can only hope that Russian internal politics might mean a way out for them, or else their shareholders will have more to worry about in 2007. read full story / add a comment

Shell to Sea has, from the very start, been about more than the fact that a community in a remote area of Ireland were being used as guinea pigs in a vast experiment to see if natural gas could be processed on shore. What was at stake was whether the state would support the needs of big business against its own people. The central question of the campaign has always been whether communities are expendable, not in the interests of the nation, but in the interests of the shareholders. How far, the campaign asked, is a European government willing to go to support the desires of a multi-national, when these run counter to the demands of its own citizens? Could the Left in Ireland use the energy of the state's unquestioning support for Shell to expose and undermine the state's apparatus of control? read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin held a protest outside Leinster house today demanding the release of IRA prisoners. The protest was made up of Sinn Féin and Ógra Shinn Féin activists. Some of Sinn Féin's TD's where also present showing their support for the campaign. 8 years following the GFA and 1 year following the IRA's decision to call an end to its armed campaign, there is no reason why IRA prisoners should still be in jail. read full story / add a comment

After hearing that John Ward was savagely beaten, blasted with a shotgun and then executed with a second close-range blast when he was crawling away and no doubt aware of Nally's complaint that John was "like a badger" - he could'nt kill him with the spar of wood, the jury's "care and consideration" was evidenced in their verdict. read full story / add a comment

Anthony Campbell, a 20-year-old apprentice plumber who lived in block F of the flats, at St Michan's House flats complex, near the Four Courts in Dublin was gunned down as he went about his work in a house at Scribblestown Park, Finglas, north Dublin yesterday morning. As he left for work yesterday, he would have had no idea that he was about to become the latest victim of a violent feud in the criminal underworld he would only have read about in newspapers. Such was the swift, indiscriminate and chilling nature of the attack that he probably never realised why he was being killed. The cruel twist of circumstance that led to his death saw him shot in the house of a relative of a major crime boss because he would have been a witness to the killing of that criminal. Gardaí said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. read full story / add a comment
