Gardaí in Waterford city are investigating a fire at a mobile phone mast at a well-known GAA ground.
The fire, which is being treated as arson, destroyed the Meteor Mast at Ballygunner.
It is the second time in five months that the mast has been destroyed by arsonists.
The siting of the mast at the pitch is currently the subject of an appeal to An Bord Pleanála.

Telecommuncation masts have been sawed, pulled down blocked and set on fire. Large groups residents have blocked workers from getting on sites to install masts.For the last nine months residents have prevented Vilicom - telecommunications consultants for the Office of Public Works - from erecting the mast at Shankill.

Donald Rumsfeld who is one of the leading terrorists in the world because he has been instrumental in orchestrating the deaths of hundreds of thousands and terrorizing millions has resigned and is now to be replaced by another terrorist, Robert Gates who is a former deputy director of the CIA. Going by the record of Gates' CV, it is a certainty that the war of terror will be stepped up and many more people will be murdered whilst at the same time using up valuable global resources read full story / add a comment

"If you accept that the bubble has popped, which most casual observers would, then we will have a period of rising inventories, falling sales and static price growth. There is nothing supporting current valuations, no supply deficit, potential investment returns, prospects of cheaper financing or outside macro economic developments.

We are on the slope of hope." - Duplex @ thepropertypin read full story / add a comment

One medium size cauliflower, $3.46, bananas remain at $13/kilo at Coles Meyer supermarkets as of 8/11. Australian food prices at the grass roots Mr. (incompetent economic manager) Howard. John Howard is without doubt Australia’s biggest liar, racist, war criminal and scoundrel Prime Minister; he is also proving to be a thoroughly incompetent economic manager – just across the Tasman bananas remain at $2/kilo. The hard times (water shortages) haven’t hit yet but they soon will; can you imagine Howard’s performance in a real crisis if the above prices are an example of his management in relatively easy times? read full story / add a comment

In recent years many people have realised fantastic health benefits from an approach to diet based on whole, organic food supplemented by high quality food supplements to make up for the cumulative loss of vital minerals, vitamins and other essential nutrition resulting from consumption of the denatured food which most of us are forced to buy throughout our lives. There is a huge groundswell of interest in this issue as people convert in droves to a truly healthy way of eating. A prominent UK exponent of this approach to diet who regularly arranges seminars in Ireland on this topic has spoken to capacity audiences of up to 300 people around Ireland who are turning away from pharmaceutical driven medicine to taking control of their own health by learning about how to nourish their own bodies properly - something the medical profession itself is still profoundly and shamefully disinterested in. read full story / add a comment

international / rights, freedoms and repression / event notice Wednesday November 08, 2006 17:20 by free prison-scapegoat
cells not fit for a dog caused a fire that killed and maimed asylumseekers and a person who was put in there because he was visiting his child who was kept in the Netherlands while he lived abroad. Now the finger is pointed at one of the victims and he is mede into a scape goat. It is a miracle he survived the Dutch prison for so long as many die in there. The governement does not print exact figures of the amount. Regularly prisoners have to go a full day without water. There is no way they can sit or lie down without cooling off too much and the light and cold make it a torture. read full story / add a comment
