Enda is still missing. My mother, wife of Micheál Ó Seighin (one of Rossport 5) is among those looking for him. He said the earliest he could meet them would be Monday morning. This is not good enough Enda. They are, as I type, staging a picket outside his house. Maureen McGrath, wife of Philip McGrath (one of Rossport 5) is also there.

These people have homes and people to mind and farms to run. They have much better things to do than looking for their elected representative. Watch out Enda. We in Mayo have long long memories. The elections will come around and he will have to do some canvassing.

Enda needs to take his job seriously and do as the people of Mayo, indeed the people of Ireland, want. Support the Shell to Sea campaign and put pressure on Shell to lift their injunction and let the Rossport 5 come home. read full story / add a comment

Japan, after consideration and debate over a two year peiod, looks set this year to alter
it's pacifist enshrined constitution. The Japanese government while clearly more right
leaning and nationalistic than of late, clearly echoes the sentiment of a certain proportion
of the Japanese people. With the North Korean nuclear threat and the ever growing strength of China,
Japanese people could be forgiven for being somewhat insecure, However it is mainly because
of the US backing prime minister Koizumi has received that he has felt as secure in
throwing his weight about recently in south east asia. read full story / add a comment
