Our new censors tried to ban a video of a Christian bishop being stabbed by a Muslim extremist. But would they have done the same if it was a far-Right assailant attacking a Muslim? Of course not, says Prof James Allan.

Dear Tanaiste and Minister for Justice,

It is manifestly clear to me as a constituent in the Rathmines area that your failure to grasp the issues of community opposition to the high pressure gas pipeline in Rossport, coupled with your failure to 'Watchdog this Corrupt Fianna Fail Administration' even as you climbed a lampost in Ranelagh, to underscore your desire to end corrupt practice is a sham performance. read full story / add a comment

To whom it concerns,
I must start off by saying that I approve of the Corrib gas coming ashore. I attended a meeting in Belmullet 30 months ago and I voted for this project to go ahead. There were over 800 people there and all but 5 voted in favour. I later worked on the project at Ballinaboy but no longer do so. read full story / add a comment

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.
http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/1107/waterford.html

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.
