The union IMPACT brought a case on behalf of 91 civil servants under the European Directive on the protection of fixed-term workers, implemented as the Protection of Employees (Fixed Term Workers) Act 2003 in Ireland. The case demands of equality of treatment with comparable established colleagues and of extension of retrospective benefits to 2001, the date agreed to by the state as a signatory to the Directive, rather than 2003 when the Act was finally signed. read full story / add a comment

The purpose of this article (see below the video) is to provide further support to the statement upheld by politicians, academic and legal experts that the Lisbon Treaty is a constitution. The emphasis on this fact is vital because from this fact it follows that the Lisbon Treaty needs referendum not only in Ireland but in all of the 27 EU member states. Because the Lisbon Treaty a constitution, it is crucial to understand that no constitution ever permits the act of overthrowing it, i.e never allows the act of replacing it with another one without the permission of a country's citizens. Therefore the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty without referendums in the other 26 states, is a dictatorial power-grab over Europe. (Please see the document referred at the end of the article.) With this article we wish to call Ireland to Vote NO to Lisbon Treaty! Vote NO to a constitution that establishes a dictatorial federal regime with powers over all Europe. read full story / add a comment

Summary: Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli whistleblower will be given a visa to live in Norway, initial reports from Norway suggest at present. Vanunu spent eighteen years in an Israeli prison for revealing that Israel has nuclear weaapons. For the past four years (since his release), he has lived under the most severe restrictions to his freedom. He is not allowed to travel freely, not leave Israel even to the occupied West Bank or Gaza, nor speak to foreigners. Norway's offer once again brings his name and fate to the attention of the conscience of the international community. read full story / add a comment

German Chancellor Angela Merkel is addressing the National Forum on Europe in St Patrick's Hall in Dublin Castle at 3pm tomorrow followed by President of the EU Commission Manuel Barroso speaking this Thurs. Some of us will be going along to suggest to Angela and Barroso that if they are in any way interested in democracy they won't be afraid to hold a referendum in Germany and in the other EU states and let the people decide. All welcome. There should be some media attention around the visits so getting involved in polls or radio debates on the treaty would be great. We're being conned but it doesn't have to be quietly. Yes, they'll try to do it anyway but why make it easier for them. A referendum is the closest thing we have to voicing a direct opinion and this will be the last one we'll have on the EU if we vote yes. read full story / add a comment
