Irish Farmers Journal reports the IFA and ICMSA and Macra na Feirme Ireland three largest farming bodies make no submissions on GM?? Why is that? I call shenanigans http://www.gmfreeireland.org/ifm/index.php It is the bioethics ctte who look at the ethics of GMO http://www.bioethics.ie/pdfs/GM%20Report1.pdf The survey at the end is overwhelming negative. Yet they call for consumer choice!! I don't think trials would get sabotaged if people felt that there was a level playing field between the public and enviromental safety and corporations influence, even with biotethics committees and EPA environmentalists. The Bio-ethics Ctte conclusions are all very sensible but again I don't think the reflects the forces for and against GMO, the bioethics survey for Ireland and the well publicised GM Debate in the UK are overwhelmingly negative. There is this phrase "consumer choice", does the average consumer have choice in the USA to buy GM or not I don't think they do. Just as this one is. read full story / add a comment

The recital given last night by Bettina Jensen and Karola Theill in The Peppercanister was their first in Ireland. Almost certainly it will not be their last. It was "an education" for the (older) people in the audience. Maybe the performance would have been lost on younger people. However there were one or two young people there - like concert pianist Finghin Collins who really seemed to be caught up in the performance, engrossed and happy. read full story / add a comment

Faced with the undeniable and now unavoidable truth of the criminality of the Bush, Blair and Howard governments, what do you suppose are the consequences for these men? People are fined for parking and littering offences but murder and plunder on an international scale incurs no penalty it would seem. [The ICC is a puppet court, an institution with zero credibility.] Is the lack of legal and public response surprising? Advice from leading consultants and ‘people managers’ was/is unanimous; once a decision is acted upon by a government and a nation is committed to a particular course, the people are swept along regardless of compromising evidence released during or after the event. read full story / add a comment

failure of the European Union to engage with the relatively moderate recent statement from Hamas, which suggested a role for the international community in the initiation of talks, which, taking as their starting point, the international legal position of the 1967 borders, and which could lead to recognition of the state of Israel by Hamas, is deeply disappointing - says Michael D.Higgins read full story / add a comment

The attack on the prophet of Islam is condemned in its totality and the violence that ensued is also condemned. The mockery of the holocaust is equally condemned. We call on Muslims to end the violence immediately. We are hurt but we are not angry because the Prophet (pbuh) instructed us to control our anger. The strongest person is the one who can control his anger the Prophet is reported to have said. read full story / add a comment |
