In the last week considerable Irish attention and media speculation has been given to the reported 7th assassination of Evo Morales plot since he was democratically elected president of Bolivia, a state with which Ireland shares no embassy. When a young Irish man died in the company of his friend, a war veteran of the Balkan conflict, in a Bolivian hotel the president of Bolivia was out of that state preparing to meet with Barack Obama. For the first time an assassination plot against Morales sparked no comment from his friend and ally Hugo Chavez. Curiously, because after the first reported plot Venezuelan had offered all intelligence assistance to the Andean government to protect it from its many perceived enemies. Instead Chavez presented Obama with a book on CIA black operations in Latin America which has since become a best seller. Today Obama has specifically condemned all assassination plots and attempts to overthrow the Morales government. read full story / add a comment

We could be literally weeks away from an historic victory of what will be a total EU wide trade ban on seal products. Although we are not there yet, the signs are looking good! We need to keep up the momentum and as the hunt in Canada is taking place right now—we need to get back onto the streets once again and take advantage of a unique opportunity to expose shoppers and members of the public to Canada’s seal hunt—this is an issue most people will support, but it’s also an issue that has a unique opportunity to spur people to get active for animal rights and we are sure you’ll agree—we need to take advantage of just that! read full story / add a comment

Barry McColgan National Organiser Ógra Shinn Féin The refusal by the Equality Commission to grant the Easter Lily the proper recognition ensuring that it can be worn without discrimination in the workplace, at school and college is an outrage, and has caused major upset, hurt and anger to many Irish Republicans. The Easter Lily which is worn by Irish Republicans throughout the Easter period is a symbol of remembrance for Ireland’s patriot dead and all Easter Lily collections are used for the upkeep and maintenance of Republican graves and monuments. Is the Equality Commission by their refusal to grant equal status to the Easter Lily insinuating that Ireland’s patriot dead are less important, and do not deserve to be remembered publicly? read full story / add a comment
