I have been told by very reliable sources that the buses will be stopping at noon, builders are downing tools at 9am, the CWU are telling their members to take part, and they'll be Marching from the CWU Head Office to join up with the main rally at Parnell Square, the CPSU, IMPACT and MANDATE are telling their members to take part, SIPTU are more or less instructing all their members to take part, and the schools will be closed.

I would appreciate any other reports of other workers walking off the job. read full story / add a comment

Germany, Ireland and Switzerland have joined nearly a dozen European countries that are probing US spy agency flights for prisoners reportedly subjected to extra-judicial detention and possibly torture. "The Minister will seek assurances from Condoleezza Rice that Shannon was not used for the rendition of prisoners or anything of that nature," a spokesman for Mr Ahern said on Sunday. read full story / add a comment

But he remains pessimistic about prospects that the Cheney-Rumsfeld cabal will take the hint, or that Condoleezza Rice will take any independent initiative within the State Department to press for withdrawal. Meanwhile, in news reports Wednesday, although Bush maintains the pretence that he will "settle for nothing less than complete victory" - a sure recipe for complete defeat - and insists that he will not be induced to announce a deadline for withdrawal, he has nevertheless declared an intention to "decrease our troop level in Iraq". read full story / add a comment
