About 2,000 people attended the main rally, which was colourful, lively, loud -and a bit holy. About 75 pro-choice demonstrators were as boisterous as the main rally passed them at the GPO. Eight images (c) Michael Gallagher http://www.myspace.com/libertypix read full story / add a comment

Every singe day in the last month 33 people were forced onto the dole in Limerick alone. Thats 1,000 people in 30 days. This is a crisis which demands emergency action by the state. The situation is even worse for young people. Over 3,000 under 25s are now unemployed in this city. Given that there are less than 10,000 people between the age of 15 and 25 living in Limerick, and many of these are in education, the scale of the crisis is far worse than many assume. The Socialist Party is organising a Public Meeting to discuss these issues, and how we can fight back. Speakers: Councillor Mick Barry & a young worker When: 7pm, Wednesday July 8th Where: Pery's Hotel, Glentworth Street read full story / add a comment

END the pathetic conditions for over 20 animals,including a Pregnant donkey in FUNTASIA’s noisy rooftop Petting Farm. A noisy amusement and casino establishment in Bettystown has airlifted (by CHERRYPICKER) over 20 animals onto its roof in an effort to attract more clientele to its arcade and boost profits at 3 euro a head.

Chicken wire, plywood and a fully cemented roof is all that was provided by way of accommodation for a variety of animals including: A pregnant Donkey in poor condition.... read full story / add a comment

This article deals with the coup in Honduras. Written by José Antonio Gutiérrez, it was translated into English by Molly Mew. Full article text at link. pc The flashing sabers have once again shown their edge in Latin America: the coups d'etat and destabilization processes orchestrated from Washington have succeeded in countries where governments are implementing reform that may be uncomfortable for the digestion of the hemispheric elite-Venezuela 2002; Haiti 2004, Bolivia 2008. This time Honduras' turn has come, a country whose president Manuel Zelaya was overthrown by the military and exiled to Costa Rica. While Zelaya was kidnapped by soldiers in Congress a letter written by Zelaya was read (which turned out to be false) in which he renounced his position as president. At the same time, and while several MPs complained that the conduct of the president put at risk the "rule of law" and accused him of multiple violations of the Constitution real and imaginary, he was removed from office, which was assumed by the Congress president , Roberto Micheletti (who is also from Zelaya's Liberal Party). read full story / add a comment

Protestant abuse victims must also be heard Irish Times, Wednesday, July 1, 2009 http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/0701/1....html OPINION: Victims of Protestant prejudice and State neglect are at a disadvantage, writes DEREK LEINSTER YOU DON’T have to be a Catholic to be listened to as a victim of institutional abuse, but it seems to help. That is my experience as a Protestant victim of institutional neglect. Like all sufferers, I am a victim of prejudice. It was prejudice that forced my mother into the Bethany Home in Orwell Road, Rathgar in 1941 for the “social sin” (as one cleric put it) of being pregnant out of wedlock. To add to her burden, her gestating baby had a Catholic father. Marriage in those circumstances was out, and so was I, fostered out to a dysfunctional family in Wicklow where I was beaten black and blue and (I mention it since it seems to be what Irish people are most interested in) sexually molested. read full story / add a comment
