(13:12) A French tourist has become the latest victim in a spate of attacks on foreigners in Ireland. Gardaí say the man was stabbed in the back by an attacker who attempted to steal his mobile phone. The tourist was admitted to hospital for treatment and was discharged. The knife attack took place in Parnell Street in Dublin's inner city yesterday evening. Two hours later, a man was repeatedly stabbed when he intervened in a row between a man and a woman outside a pub on Dorset Street in Dublin. The victim was admitted to hospital where his condition is described as serious. read full story / add a comment

Lots of conversations at Ecotopia about this. What does anybody think? UK Decentralisation is proving slow and difficult - I think this is because a sense of ownership was built up by the London Crew who originated it and this has caused problems. I would love to see Belfast, Limerick, Cork, Galway, Dublin IMC's all feeding into an Ireland one or even a UK and Ireland one. I am writing this to begin a public debate on the subject. Should we set up a dedicated list to discuss this. IMC Irl - which is really in all honesty a Dublin IMC is getting a bigger volume of features and newswire stuff suddenly and features are going late or unpublished due to the fact that it is voluntary and people can only afford so much time - decentralisation I think would give an incentive to more people to get involved without travelling read full story / add a comment

folks, I would like to appeal for comments on what I see as a weird twist of priorities amongst many Irish people campaigning for social justice around the country. I just read an article on the An Phoblacht site at http://www.irlnet.com/aprn/current/news/15stud.html - It's about a young Catholic student being beaten to death because of his religion. This is Alabama and it's only a few hrs from Dublin. I realise the importance of reclaim the streets, the earth summit work, travellers and refugee rights, racism work, sustainable development etc. etc BUT - are brothers and sisters are under daily attack. It seems we have been collectively brainwashed to consider 'the north' as an unsolvable problem that we must leave up to the champagne politicians of all sides. Do we really care about the North. Has anybody even bothered to travel there. It seems many in the 26 counties can't even name read full story / add a comment

Thirty-four years ago this week, on Aug. 24, 1968, the Northern Ireland civil rights movement staged its first protest march. Organized by the Northern Ireland Civil Rights Association and joined by several like-minded groups, the march protested against the notoriously discriminatory housing allocation policies of local governments throughout the province. Despite threats of violence from loyalist thugs inspired by the rhetoric of the Rev. Ian Paisley, 2,500 marchers turned out and marched without incident from Coalisland to Dungannon. The event marked the end of Catholic submission to Protestant domination in Northern Ireland and raised hopes -- hopes soon shattered -- that nonviolent protest could achieve civil, social, and legal equality for all in the six counties. ... continued at link below read full story / add a comment

Irish Teenagers Against War And Capitalism (ITAWAC) is a newly formed organisation mostly as our name suggests made up of teenagers but also with some younger kids as well. And in great change from most of the middle class yuppie shitheads who bloody clog up this IndyMedia Ireland we're a grassroots working class group in areas such as Sherriff Street, Coolock and Ballymun. We're still trying to tie down our exact positions on a lot of issues but we're gettin there. There is a lot of anger amoung teenagers and kids about the way our society is run that if it's not tapped into by people of our generation will lead to the re-emergence of left wing freedom fighters like the Red Army Faction and the Red Brigades. read full story / add a comment

THE EARTH Summit starts in Johannesburg, South Africa, next week. World leaders will talk about tackling poverty, dealing with the environmental crisis and embracing "sustainable development". US president George W Bush is hostile even to making such noises. This could lead some people to think that the summit must contain something good. read full story / add a comment

Religious fanatical Chutzpah knows no bounds. But, when you are, God's Chosen people, normal rules don't apply to you. It is perfectly acceptable to criticize any nation on the earth for its errors and wrongs, but lo and behold, don't you dare criticize Israel; for if you do that, you will be accused by the programmed masses of the most abominable sin in the modern world, the unforgivable sin of anti-Semitism the weapon of mass distraction and Censored! read full story / add a comment
