Some people don't think much of elections, but it's important to remnember that they concentrate the minds of the establishment. From Spain in the 30's, Chile in the 70's, to modern day Venezuela, democratic elections have thrown up results which have rocked the forces of right-wing conservatism to the core. While some people think you shouldn't vote, most people believe it's important to register. read full story / add a comment

In news sneaked out late on Good Friday, the Irish government has announced that the country has just gotten a bit bigger. We now have the right to extend our territorial waters beyond the 200 mile limit. Because of today's news. we can claim a much larger chunk of the Atlantic sea bed off the south-west coast. Sadly, we don't get the fishing rights. But if there should, by some chance, be oil and gas there, then we own it*. So that's good news then. *Note: This development is going to mean more to certain members of the political establishment than to, for instance, pensioners, or people on hospital waiting lists. The big energy companies might be happy tonight too, wheras children in overcrowded, underfunded schools won't notice much difference. read full story / add a comment

This week's Mayo Advertiser reports that Shell are very happy with the progress of peat removal from their refinery site at Bellanaboy in County Mayo, which started earlier this week. The surface of the site has to be removed before construction of the refinery can begin. The Gardaí say they are also happy with their operation, reporting that they have easily contained the demonstrations and protests. The massive Garda operation has been widely criticised, with those opposed to the Shell/Govt scheme arguing that if protesters are breaking the law they should be arrested, and if not they should not be interfered with. To date there have been no arrests in this current phase of the conflict. read full story / add a comment |
