To: Sergeant John O'Sullivan, Station Sergeant Shannon Garda Station Shannon Town From: Edward Horgan International Secretary Peace and Neutrality Alliance Re: Possible arrival of war criminal at Shannon airport this afternoon Dear Sgt O'Sullivan I have received information that US President George W Bush may be arriving at Shannon airport this afternoon. For the purpose of identification to help you with your enquiries he is likely to be travelling in a Boeing 767 aircraft normally known as Air-force One.

News is circulating that yet another anarchist has died due to state repression on Mayday. Within hours of the Dublin anarchist picnic Nicolás David Neira Alvares was clubbed to the ground by up to eight police on the Bogota Mayday march and beaten on the head until he passed out. Police then prevented his comrades getting to him so it was some time before they could get him to hospital where he died earlier today. read full story / add a comment

Socialist Forum: Socialists, Elections and Parliament Location: The Red Parrot, Dorset Street North Dublin Time: 8.30pm Monday 9, May. The mainstream media view of politics is that it is only what happens in parliament that matters. Street protests, local campaigns, and large scale mobilisations such as the Anti War Movement are ignored in favour of coverage of debates in the Dail. However the decisions that really control our lives are taken outside Parliament, and inside the boardrooms of undemocratic major corporations. This forum looks at the issue of socialists, elections and parliament. All are welcome to attend. . See : http://www.swp.ie/html/marxist_resources.htm for a huge number of articles dealing with the issues of socialism, elections and parliament. *Please forward to anyone you think would be interested. read full story / add a comment

"A new criminal justice bill is currently being pushed through the Dáil by the Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell. There are a WHOLE raft of measures in the legislation that have the potential to seriously infringe on civil liberties. However, there are two specific areas we feel need to be highlighted, in that they are targeted at young people. These are the introduction of On The Spot Fines and Anti Social Behaviour orders. It is our belief that the introduction of these provisions will dramatically impact on Irish people's civil liberties. That's why we've joined forces with the Union of Students in Ireland and are launching an online petition opposing the introduction of On The Spot Fines and Anti Social Behaviour Orders in Ireland." Please go to http://www.hotpress.com/petitions/ to sign the petition. read full story / add a comment |
