Shell Exploitation and Production Ireland posted an operating loss of nearly fifty million euro last week. With costs associated with their scheme to install a polluting refinery and experimental pipeline in North West Mayo spiralling, the troubled company was shown to be completely dependent on the goodwill and patience of its shareholders. Among the figures making up the loss, it was noticed that SEPIL paid their 45 staff the amazing seven million, two hundred thousand euro. This means that the company -which regularly claims it employs seven hundred people- pays it workers an AVERAGE of €160,000 per year (or €3,076 per week). Of course the company doesn’t divide up it wage bill equally, and some of the front men probably don’t get paid much more than the average indymedia reporter, which means someone in Corrib House is doing very well indeed out of losing €49.1 million. read full story / add a comment

Last night Mary Harney released a programme to deal with the elderly, as she is not far off that stage of life herself you would think that problem solving and a bit of wry humour would inform her obviously jaundiced world view. But Progressive liberalism forgets that there is such a thing as family and community, and the women I have spoken to today are not pleased with the present government interfering (again) in the privacy of the family- by dipping into the home (as equity for 'care') read full story / add a comment
