Education Minister Caitríona Ruane joined a large group of Ógra Shinn Féin members today at Down’s County Museum in Downpatrick, to launch Sinn Féin’s Youth Manifesto ‘Creating the Future’, for the upcoming Westminster election. The Museum was selected as a site of historical significance, it previously being home of the County Gaol where United Irishmen leader Thomas Russell was executed on 21 October 1803. The youth manifesto which was drafted by members of the party’s youth wing Ógra Shinn Féin forms the basis of the work and policies which Sinn Féin will be carrying out regards youth in the next 5 years. These include education, suicide prevention, drug and alcohol awareness, calling for the abolition of ASBO’s, road safety, youth job creation, creating affordable housing, and progressing Irish Unity. read full story / add a comment

The former face of the BBC Northern Ireland's GAA coverage has unleashed an extraordinary attack on the corporation for downgrading its coverage of Gaelic games and subjecting him to "racial harassment". Self-proclaimed "Mr GAA" Jerome Quinn is representing himself in a case against the BBC in which he alleges unfair dismissal and discrimination. He was sacked last year after his employer discovered he had been posting anonymous criticism of its coverage of Gaelic football and hurling on a GAA discussion board. The award-winning presenter said they were an attempt to "inform fans of what was behind anti-GAA coverage in BBC NI". read full story / add a comment

Aileen O'Carroll draw on the stories and diaries of those working in IT company’s to talk about the secrets and contradictions of working in a global industry. The myth is that IT workers happily work a 60 hour week but like workplaces of a previous era, there is a struggle over the nature of work and the length of working time within our lives. The left tends to focus on the formal visible struggles conducted through trade unions. What can this other level of often individualised struggle teach us in the fight for a new world? read full story / add a comment

According to a notice issued by Eamon Ryan's Department of Transport, work is to re start shortly on the Corrib Pipeline. The notice gives a rough outline of plans to survey the estuary, but makes no mention of Shell/Garda security compounds, increased garda and navy presence, dodgy security guards with cameras, and articles in the O'Reily press saying "we need the gas". Maybe that's a different department... read full story / add a comment

Here are two articles by Eva Bartlett on the war that the Israeli Army wages against Palestinian farmers. full texts at links. "Our sheep and goats would feed at the base of trees before the trees were all destroyed," she says. Over the years of Israeli air and land invasions, Israel's bulldozing and bombing trees and agricultural land, the environment in Gaza suffers almost as much as the people. With animal fodder only sparingly allowed into Gaza under the siege, that which enters through the tunnels from Egypt is unaffordable to herders like Um Mohammed. http://www.countercurrents.org/bartlett230410A.htm read full story / add a comment

Soldiers present used violent force to remove Palestinian, Israeli and international activists who attempted to prevent the destruction. Two Israelis were arrested immediately, and six internationals were later arrested. read full story / add a comment

In these times of great tribulation for the Church, this conference promises to provide the perspective needed to renew the faith of believers, challenge the mindset of non-believers and turn despair into joyful hope. It will be a weekend of reflection providing what many have called a “life-changing” experience of the Nonviolent Jesus of the Gospels. It addresses our struggles to transform our lives and our world by living Christ’s example and message of universal love and kindness in all our relationships. It shows us how we can effect peace in our families, communities, workplace, political structures and the world by confronting with love those forces within that undermine the innate capacity for care and compassion with which we are all imbued. read full story / add a comment

Looks as if the South Park crew could have some problems angry islamic fundamentalists. Mocking buddha and christ is one thing but mocking the "prophet" of islam is a tad more dangerous. Islamists have warned the creators of TV show South Park they could face violent retribution for depicting the Prophet Muhammad in a bear suit. A posting on the website of the US-based group, Revolution Muslim, told Matt Stone and Trey Parker they would "probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh". The Dutch film-maker was shot and stabbed to death in 2004 by an Islamist angered by his film about Muslim women. read full story / add a comment
