Is feminism obsolete or is it being re-invented? Today, feminist engagements and gender-sensitive approaches have proliferated across a broad spectrum of disciplines and movements. The de-territorialization and re-location of feminist practices and discourses in multiple and heterogeneous fields and contexts calls for a re-evaluation of the (visible and invisible) impact of feminism on different areas of social praxis and the possibilities for re-imagining feminist politics as an emergent moment in the dynamics of social change.

A Public Meeting to discuss Ireland’s Healthcare System At Donnycarney Youth and Community Centre Tuesday 11th July @ 8pm Speakers: Jo Murphy Lawless Sociologist School of Nursing and Midwifery Trinity College Dublin Jo Tully Vice President Irish Nurses Organisation Organised by Artane People Before Profit: For more information contact Martin O’Sullivan Tel: 087 8289243 Your are invited to attend this meeting to share your views on what you think Ireland’s Healthcare System should be. We want to build a campaign, with no political party affiliations, for a Health Service that reflects the views and needs of the public. The Health Service is in crisis… In 2001, the Department of Health acknowledged that 3,000 more hospital bed places were needed but the government has done little to provide them. On one day alone recently 433 patients were left waiting on trolleys in our hospitals. 100,000 women are denied screening and early treatment for breast cancer because they have the wrong postal address. But it’s not just patients who suffer. Support the Nurses The Irish Nurses Organisation has unanimously passed a motion of no confidence in the Tánaiste Mary Harney. They are demanding actions to save the health service pointing out that many lives are being put at risk because of the condition of A & E departments and that medical professionals are leaving the Irish health service because of work conditions. There are 60,000 registered nurses in Ireland but only 40,000 working in our hospitals. Intolerable conditions and low pay are driving many from the profession. Privatisation of health is a disaster Harney wants to build private hospitals on the grounds of public hospitals but this will mean greater robbery of the public purse because the state will subsidise these for-profit hospitals to the tune of €40 million for every €100 million invested. This money could have been used to create more public beds. Private hospitals will only carry out operations where they can make a profit. They will not provide A&E services or long term care. They will not train or educate staff. When the tax breaks run out, the owners of the private hospitals can sell them off as private apartments. This is state subsidised profit. A campaign of all communities and health care workers The government is deliberately running down the health service and is trying to force people towards privatised healthcare. It’s time for Harney and the profiteers to go. We need a movement in this country that stands for People Before Profit that can challenge the big-business, privatising agenda of the Dail parties. read full story / add a comment

Archives dating from the period 1922-1939 are to be opened by Pope Benedict on the 18th of September 2006. "Giving new insight into what the Catholic Church knew and did as Europe saw the rise of Nazism in Germany and the Spainish Civil War" The files are known as the Secret Archives and files of its Secretariat of State for the Pontificate of Pius X1. Reuters/ Irish Times :- (1-07-06). www.ireland.com Googled the Holy See, (as one does) to see if more info can be had on Benedict's criteria for choosing this specific time-frame, such as- have the archives up until 1922 been opened before and this is part of a synthesis of release, or why the abrupt stop at 1939? Reading history in a linear fashion rather than as something which often involves mass-movement or community consciousness would tend to point to this era being crucial. The period preceeding 1922 would hold an unlimited fascination in terms of labour movement and the assasination of such figures as Rosa luxemburg (Jan 1919). The Spainish Civil war is mentioned also in the hopeful analysis of that specific time encapsulation, the assasination of Lorca comes to mind. The 17 year period of file and archive release necessarily reduces the reading of the archive within a specific narrow framework which does not account for the build-up to facism which would definitely preceed the watermark indicated. The archives would contain some fascinating documentation of that period in world history but are they part of an ongoing cycle of release or are they an isolated example of a criteria of choice with regard to the Shoah? informations on the secret archives are to be had on the Vatican website www.vatican.ca http://asv.vatican.va/home_en.htm http://asv.vaticanva/en/studi_stud,htm In terms of bureaucracy and official secrets, many governments wd have a specific period of time during which state papers are sealed and released. The opening of the secret archive in an Independent State such as Vatican city would probably have a different criteria for selecting and approving the dates for release of such documentations. read full story / add a comment

international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Sunday July 02, 2006 02:01 by Coilín ÓhAiseadha
Six Iranian men have been on hunger strike in front of the Danish Parliament building since 19 June. The men have demanded of the Danish Government and refugee authorities that no more Iranians be deported back to their homeland. They also want a review of the cases of asylum-seekers who have been refused refugee status. Four Iranian women are also endorsing the protest. The women cannot go on hunger strike or otherwise protest in front of the parliament building, as they have to stay in the notorious Sandholm refugee camp to take care of their children, who are said to suffer greatly under deplorable conditions, in close confinement with adults. Please read the press release, issued on behalf of the hunger strikers by Danish supporters, below. read full story / add a comment

Peter wanted an excerpt from a letter about Palestine , published with this article, it contains a quote by Terence Mac Swiney: "It is not those who can inflict the most but those who can endure the most who will conquer" The heading and date of the letter, which was published in an Irish newspaper recently was torn off, he retains some of the body of it, because of its pertinence to his case. Someone brought it to him during the course of the week. Day 41: He is experiencing little in the way of symptoms. He has sciatica in his back and headaches, for which he is taking solpadeine. His movement is good and he is walking alright. he is looking thinner and needs to sit a lot. The anger is there he wants people to know that the people involved in the cases around his daughter are murdering him and asserts again his desire not to be removed from the Dail, by ambulance. read full story / add a comment

I had several long, worried nights with one of my babies. She was having difficulty breathing. No temperature, runny nose, cranky upset crying…nothing I could take her to the A&E with. There was just a subtle change in her that gave me an instinctive and terrifying sense that she was forgetting to breathe. read full story / add a comment

The US Supreme Court ruled today that Guantanamo Bay detention/torture centre was illegal (by implication) and the kangaroo military commission established to try the detainees is in breach of the Geneva Convention, well duh! Expert international lawyers stated the plain facts – illegality – of the matter from the start. Who could accuse the ‘slow to see daylight’ US court system of bias? Surely the principal pillars of American ‘justice’ could not be influenced by Bush or his neo-cons? read full story / add a comment
