There has been a dramatic drop in the number of speeders caught. This coincides with an increase in the number of road deaths. The Garda say it's because their manpower is spent minding Bush and EU leaders. The DoT says everything is fine and that speeding has decreased (when actually the DETECTION of speeding has decreased). read full story / add a comment

Many thanks to Indymedia for allowing space on your web site to raise awareness about this ongoing crisis.
Two days from now, August 27th, is Cork City Council's deadline for receiving submissions on the accommodation needs of Travellers over the next 4 years. Was it naivety or a calculated move to advertise seeking submissions at the one time of the year when Travellers (and Traveller organisations) are not around?
The following was submitted today by the Traveller Visibility Group.
If anybody else is in a position to make a submission, the person to write to is Jim Beecher, Housing Section, Cork City Council.
The e-mail address to use is [email protected] and please copy your submissions to [email protected]

An argument which is held up as a true by the record of Clinton, a man who recently received adulation in Dublin, yet whose administration slew far more than that of either Bush Snr. or Jnr. read full story / add a comment
