Yesterday, one Corrib campaigner was hospitalised and several other injured as Gardaí stood by and allowed IRMS to assault and violently remove a group of people that had peacefully sat in front of the doors of the Shell offices in Belmullet. One member of the group had to be brought by ambulance from Belmullet to Castlebar by ambulance after being hit in the back by a IRMS security guard, while another protester was punched in the face by IRMS senior supervisor Derek Bolger. read full story / add a comment

In letters to Joe Costello TD and Bethany Home Survivors Chairperson, Derek Leinster (attached), Ruairi Quinn TD, Minister for Education, turned down the survivors' request to have the Home included in the Schedule to the Residential Institutions Redress Scheme. They met the Minister on 24 May last, accompanied by other survivors from the home, and by Niall Meehan from Griffith College Dublin. Inclusion is necessary in order for survivors to apply for compensation for the neglect they suffered in the home that the state was aware of but ignored. read full story / add a comment

Meet at GPO, O'Connell Street 12 noon daily, except for this Friday 24th, which will be 4.30.pm. PEOPLE The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank are expected to be in Ireland from around July 4th until July 15th. It is expected on July 15th, the IMF/WB vultures will be flying over us as they leave Ireland and again will be salivating and sneering at us on their way back to their ill gotten gains. Calling for a referendum and marching after the vultures have flown is pointless. Ask for permission to vote on something we never consented to in the first place? Deals done with the bloodsucking ECB/IMF/WB vampires by the corrupt, inept Fianna Fáil gangsters. Fine Gael/Labour wereelected on the false premise that they would take on the banks and senior bondholders. read full story / add a comment

I want to seperate out what is becoming problematic in terms of Irish Coalition Partnerships for a minute and focus on how those people who attain power actually begin to use it. For instance , the Irish Dáil is a place where ideology (of whatever flavour) is not an issue when entering into what we fondly term a junior coalition partnership/ relationship with a majority party (JCP). it doesn't matter a bit, no political party , whatever their stripe goes into poor areas and asks for votes , because they (and especially the Labour party) do not care to know about poverty. It is invisible to them, and mostly at the moment in terms of access to education. read full story / add a comment

A very informal event, meant to be participative, where persons will have one month at least given to study the subject and bring in their contribution like readings, art, videos, performance actions, even if there is not a deep knowledge of these personalities, but dedicated to it and site specific. Conversations will be part of the evening event. Once is decided a name, everyone will have to submit to it, however people is allowed to bring suggestions. events with this will be run monthly on the third Sunday of each month here @ SHE-D 43 Gardiner lane D1from 6pm read full story / add a comment

Our annual school – the Communist University – takes place in a world in flux. The near hysterical euphoria that surrounded the election of Barack Obama in 2008 has evaporated as US foreign policy is characterised by aggressive continuity – for all the flatulent talk of “change”. Change has come to the Arab world – from below. Millions have risen in defiance of batons and bullets in a revolutionary fight for democracy and freedom. In the UK, we have see the first stirrings of revolt from the trade union movement against austerity and cuts with the gargantuan March 26 demo and talk of coordinated strike action. The movement across the rest of Europe is further advanced. We have seen huge mobilisations in Ireland, Greece and Spain. The battle lines are drawn. read full story / add a comment

Introducing a new cultural website. After the death of England’s best-loved alcoholic gambling bigot, the queen mother, the Daily Mail rather ludicrously suggested that the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square should be given over permanently to a statue of her. The Guardian impishly proposed the potential responses of contemporary artists to the challenge. For Antony Gormley, we got ‘the angel of the south’: a steel sculpture of an old lady, complete with cane, handbag, absurd hat and enormous aeroplane wings. This is how one pictures the angel of contemporary culture. Her eyes stare at hordes of tourists, bemused consumers of Britain’s heritage industry. Her existence is a cheap trick, a grandiose prosthesis grafted onto a piece of idiotic kitsch. Nobody any more is quite sure if she is a serious endeavour or a mischievous joke; the work of a dedicated artisan or of an industry. Unlike Benjamin’s angel,* she does not want to stay behind but to take flight from this shabby existence. Unfortunately, she is riveted to the plinth. These rivets are what we call capitalism. read full story / add a comment |
