The Mayo Echo reports today, that local fisherman using the refrigeration services provided by Bord Iascaigh Mhara at Ballyglass were amazed to find that the bill for electricity had rocketed from around 300 euro per quarter to nearly 6,000. Worried that the BIM service might be withdrawn, they investigated and found that someone had illegally hacked into the electricity supply and run up a huge bill. And guess who was to blame? read full story / add a comment

Did the idea of the so called 'Pensions Levy' come from some of the very ICTU leadership who are supposed to negotiate on behalf of workers. This is one revelation that emerged on Saturday morning at a meeting of over 100 public sector trade unionists and two delegates from the Waterford Glass occupation. We were meeting in the Davenport hotel, Dublin to discuss a collective response to government attacks on workers and in particular the public sector pay cut. Most of those present were on branch committees or even national executives with a couple of branches delegating representatives to the meeting. The gathering could in that context be said to reflect the views of a large number of branches across the unions that organise public sector workers. read full story / add a comment

The KILKENNY DOGS will be given to rescues for re-homing, they are saved. We have just had it confirmed from Jim Ryan , Kilkenny County Council that a decision has been made via his superior Tony Walsh ,Director of services that the seized dogs will be not killed but will be given out to rescues for re-homing. Seven dogs were already returned to the travellers –THE REST ARE SAVED. We had stressed the dogs did not deserve to die and that some of them were pregnant and that a prompt decision was vital. We had been preparing for to demonstrate but thankfully people power and all the emails and calls have won the day. Thank you to all who cared enough to get involved. Thank you to Kilkenny county Council for making the humane decision. We wish the dogs a full and happy life. I have offered help to the Council with the logistics of moving or relocating these animals. Phone me if you can be on standby if needed. read full story / add a comment

"It's a living organism that has a very nasty, evil side to its ideology, but it ends there, it begins there and it ends there and we shouldn't, again, exaggerate our analysis of Zionism beyond the fact that from a Palestine perspective, it is a destructive ideology, it's bad enough, it has nothing else to it and nothing else should be added to this." "They (EU politicians) don't want to talk about Zionism as colonialism, as racism, they don't want to talk about genocidal policies, ethnic cleansing policies, crimes against humanity, war crimes" "It is the only prison in the world that children are being born in it that have no chance of getting out of it" read full story / add a comment

In this article on the 30th anniversary of the Iranian revolution Torab Saleth looks back on how it developed paying particular attention to its historical roots. The full article may be accessed at the url below. How did this revolution - which in terms of the degree of mass participation was one of the most important of the 20th century - end up becoming ‘Islamic’? Indeed what was the ‘Islamic revolution’? One common interpretation has been based on the well worn model of ‘anti-colonial struggles in the countries of the periphery’, popular within the left since the early 1920s. A model, it must be said, which was inadequate even then. By this reasoning, the Islamic revolution becomes an anti-imperialist revolution led by bourgeois nationalist forces. The politics which flow from this differ only in shade - from shameless collaboration to so-called ‘critical’ support. Although such views have long since been discredited, given the current conflict with the USA/Israel it has been rebranded by a number of left currents and has once again become a justification for all sorts of opportunist overtures towards the Iranian regime. Yes, they say, it is a corrupt, clerical-capitalist regime - but look at how the anti-imperialist aspect of the Iranian revolution survives to this day! read full story / add a comment

The Labour party has overtaken Fianna Fáil in the recent TNS/MRBI poll. The first time in the history of the state. A historic moment for those interested in the wider labour movement (as opposed to the revolutionary movement olr the labour party). I am not too familiar with the methodology behind this poll but I assume it is a fair and honest reflection of the electorate at the present moment. The TNS/MRBI poll predicted the outcome of the last election with relative precision. Fianna Fáil’s satisfaction rating has plummeted to 14 percent. 62 per cent want a change of government. The support for the parties is as follows: Fianna Fáil, 22 per cent (down 5 points); Fine Gael, 32 per cent (down 2 points); Labour, 24 per cent (up 10 points); Sinn Féin, 9 per cent (up 1 point); Green Party, 4 per cent (no change); and Independents/others, 9 per cent (down 4 points). The message is simple: the electorate want Fianna Fáil out of office. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU) has called a National Day of Action for Saturday, February 21st over the Government's Pension Levy, the lack of protection for Private Sector Pensions and the Cuts Generally. March Assembles Garden of Remberance, Parnell Square, Dublin at 2pm. I'm calling on all (all workers, private and public sector, the unemployed, those who've been affected by the cuts generally, the voluntary and community sector and the general public) to attend in mass numbers to show this 'Government' that we're as mad as hell, and that Saturday, February 21st is only the start of a long war of attrition. read full story / add a comment

Braving the cold this afternoon, five sexy PETA activists stripped off nearly naked and urged foie gras-peddling Selfridges to ‘Have a Heart’ for ducks and geese this Valentine’s Day. The topless girls (including model Monica Harris) and one dishy guy handed out delicious vegan chocolates and roses to passers-by who just couldn’t help but stare – and take photos on their mobile phones, of course! read full story / add a comment
