Twenty to thirty chemicAL suited individuals have been observed here in the last 30 or 40 minutes positioning themselves throughout the centre of the town from the square right up Park Street. They are replying to querys about their presence by telling people to go about their business. This is a new one on us here in the town. Even the local Gardai seem to be clueless as to what is going on. They are however pointedly not interfering with the individuals in question. What is going on? What are these people up to? There is nothing on the news to suggest anything is amiss. read full story / add a comment

I have just spotted a large group of official looking figures sporting white chemical suits in the area of Trinity College. They appear to be positioning themselves throughout the south inner city area. On asking what they were up to I was told in no uncertain terms to go about my business. Is something happening that we don't know about? read full story / add a comment

It appears that our government yesterday got their shit together in an attempt to avoid further discussion of their inadequate response to the threat posed to the health and wellbeing of Irish Citizens by releasing to the media an update on their 'emergency plan'. What a spoiler - 'the helpline will be up and running Monday'. They appear to suggest that even in the event of an accident that there would be no evacuation of people involved. Dundalk would be evacuated - that's for sure - whether or not the government were involved. I see arrests at central bank in the near future.

A reactor meltdown could occur within one hour if a commercial passenger jet hits a nuclear power plant, according to a new Greenpeace report which examines the vulnerability of nuclear power plants to plane crashes in Germany. Nuclear expert, Dr Helmut Hirsch, says in the report that in a worse case scenario of a commercial passenger jet hitting a nuclear plant, the reactor's containment would be breached, the cooling systems would fail, and within a very short period of time less than one hour - the reactor core would begin to meltdown. read full story / add a comment

Four-year-old Ahmed Khader's heart raced with fear; the children of the neighborhood told him that we were the Israelis back in his home. The eight of us were not occupation soldiers. Rather we were foreign civilians (5 Americans, 2 Belgian and one Irish) who had come to the Balata Refugee Camp to express our solidarity with the people who had been invaded, terrorized and pillaged on a 4-day raid of their home; a refugee camp; by the Israeli military. read full story / add a comment
