Clarification on phone records access sought The Data Protection Commissioner has said the law should be clarified to ensure that gardaí can only access individual phone records when they are investigating serious crime.

Concentrates on the 'unknown' intense class struggle that ran alongside the war of independence and the role republicanism played in the suppression of that struggle in the interests of nationalist unity. Asks what is freedom and shows how anarchism originated amongst earlier European left republicans as an answer to the limitations of republicanism. read full story / add a comment
