Sinn Féin held a protest outside Leinster house today demanding the release of IRA prisoners. The protest was made up of Sinn Féin and Ógra Shinn Féin activists. Some of Sinn Féin's TD's where also present showing their support for the campaign. 8 years following the GFA and 1 year following the IRA's decision to call an end to its armed campaign, there is no reason why IRA prisoners should still be in jail. read full story / add a comment

Anthony Campbell, a 20-year-old apprentice plumber who lived in block F of the flats, at St Michan's House flats complex, near the Four Courts in Dublin was gunned down as he went about his work in a house at Scribblestown Park, Finglas, north Dublin yesterday morning. As he left for work yesterday, he would have had no idea that he was about to become the latest victim of a violent feud in the criminal underworld he would only have read about in newspapers.

Gardaí said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. read full story / add a comment
