The train's rolling stock and interior :dated. The exterior: over the carriage couplings, new paint-work, inside each one had a leak, which wet all luggage of passengers. The Bathrooms: smelly and small. No trolley, food car or facilities to heat bottles, change diapers, breast feed. No facilities for disposing hygenically of sanitary equipment. Exacberated by a 25 minute delay outside Heuston. Intending greeting parties waited and left, as the board lit up 'on time' and then the Castlebar train vanished off the board. This is travelling, Celtic Tiger style. read full story / add a comment

The Pitstop Ploughshares have never had an easy ride with the mainstream media. From the lies broadcast about the nonexistant assault on the Garda in the hangar. To the oft reported fabrication that the Irish taxpayer was picking up the "US2.5 million for repairs to the warplane. The powerful defense testimony was largely censored form the Irish media. Now the battle of the myths rages post-trial Alos a frightening repsonse form the White House to the jury's acquittal in Dublin. read full story / add a comment

I am very sad to hear about Ted Grant. I met him first in the late 1960's and from him I came to understand the basics of marxism. He defended the method of marxism throughout the entire difficult period of the post war period. In particular he defended the orientation to the mass organizations of the working class and the struggle for the revolutionary program within the working class. This laid the basis for maintaining a working class orientation and analysis and program in Ireland where I lived over many of these difficult years. I have great memories of Ted explaining his ideas at meetings and conferences and in discussions. read full story / add a comment

The people are once again faced with a very real opportunity to act and change the status quo. The USA has abandoned its traditional role of peacekeeper in the Middle East. Two clear prerogatives present themselves in the face of ongoing hostilities, a people’s movement or another nation filling the vacuum left by the U.S. (which has tragically become an involved party in the conflict). How many times must the opportunity for Peace go begging? read full story / add a comment

The following is an article I read in the Irish Times. At first I thought I was reading an article by Richard Perle or some other neo-con ideologue but then I saw its author was none other than Joschka Fischer. What do Trevor Sargent and John Gormley have to say about their Green cousins in Europe? read full story / add a comment

The Irish Penal Reform Trust (IPRT), Merchants Quay Ireland and the Union for Improved Services, Communication and Education (UISCE) present a free public forum entitled "Rethinking the War on Drugs" on Monday 28th August. Our main speaker will be Jerry Cameron. A seventeen-year police veteran, Mr. Cameron is a former U.S. Chief of Police as well as a former full time faculty member of the Institute of Police Technology and Management at the University of North Florida where he taught drug interdiction. Toward the end of his career, he began to question the efficacy as well as the morality of the war on drugs, eventually coming to the conclusion that it was a not only a total failure but that it was causing tremendous damage to society. read full story / add a comment
