The oral hearing in Belmullet continues, with questions still unanswered about the large Garda presence in the hotel where the hearing is taking place, and then, the surprise revelation that the consultation process carried out by Shell and Mayo County Council on the subject of "cold-venting" did not include actually consulting with anyone who lives near the proposed refinery. Mayo County Council are still not attending the hearing. "Cold-venting" is when you release gas directly into the environment, rather than burning it off, which is called "flaring". read full story / add a comment

“The Burning” – PDF available below – is a full length play written about the circumstances surrounding the destruction Captain Jack White’s papers following his death in Broughshane, Co. Antrim in 1946. White, as many people will know, was one of the more well known figures in Irish history that identified with anarchism. The only son of British Boer War hero, Sir George Stuart White (“The Hero Of Ladysmith”), he was assured a bright future in the upper echelons of the British military until his conscience intervened and he resigned his commission. Breaking with family, he gravitated to political activism and the revolutionary left. His baptism of fire was the Great Lockout in Dublin in 1913, where he worked alongside Larkin and Connolly and proposed the idea of the Irish Citizen Army. Of Protestant “stock”, he was active in the fight against imperialism, reserving particular vitriol for the “Orange” state formed in the north of Ireland after partition in 1922. read full story / add a comment |
