Last Saturday May 24th 2003 more than 70 people from a huge variety and cross sector of civil society groups from all over the island of Ireland took part in the biggest dialogue yet to build the Irish Social Forum. The main proceedings of this event are below. This dialogue has been building for eight months now and we agreed to have another Get-Together in five or six weeks time (depending on venue availability) to move the process on. We listened, learned and shared to and with eachother for a whole day on a large variety of topics and apart from the individual and group listening, learning and sharing we established consensus on a number of issues, did not get consensus on others and created an interim structure of five working groups to carry forward the practical tasks required in order to continue the dialogue and plan for the Irish Social read full story / add a comment

Picket against war, occupation and deportation at Mill Street Garda Station! The Global Women's Strike calls on women, children and men to Strike out against all warmongers and globalisation with a picket and grassroots speak-out at Mill St Garda station at 1pm sharp on Wednesdays. All welcome to speak out. Bring pots and pans to bang! The war on Iraq is not over but an illegal occupation and the theft of people's assets and resources has begun. Like all other colonial powers through the ages, the US and UK knew that not only killing and maiming people, but allowing and even organising the looting of museums and libraries, allows them to devalue the lives, work and hopes of everyone from Iraq. The occupying powers have already started to stoke divisions between communities of different religion or ethnicity to make it easier to steal from them. Women and children continue to suffer read full story / add a comment

The Iraqi Women's League in the UK has asked the Global Women's Strike in Ireland to publicise their letter to the then International Development Secretary, Clare Short. She said she would meet with them but then never followed up. Her successor has still not responded........... Dear Clare Short We are writing to ask for an urgent meeting to raise a number of issues with you. We are a group of Iraqi women in exile who have come together at the initiative of the Iraqi Women’s League (IWL). IWL started in 1952 in Iraq and has been active in the UK since 1979 providing support and practical help to Iraqi women in exile. Many of us have family in Iraq. Until the start of the war we were in daily contact but now the telephone lines are down and we don’t know what is happening. We are desperately worried about their safety read full story / add a comment

It is commonly misreported in the media that Israel is not committed fully to the road map out of spite. No so, it's just that we have been down this road before - the failed Oslo Accords. So what's new? Not a lot. read full story / add a comment
