Sinn Féin spokesperson on Natural Resources Martin Ferris TD has accused Shell of duplicity in their announcement that they are to drop their court injunction against the Rossport Five. Deputy Ferris said: "In announcing that they are dropping their injunction, Shell have absolved themselves of the requirement to surrender key documents relating to various aspects of the pipeline project. On Monday Justice Mary Laffoy made an order of discovery that for the first time would have placed this information into the hands of those who object to the pipeline. "The fact that Shell, after more than a year of attempting to bully Rossport men, should now drop their action speaks volumes. It confirms what many of us believe; that the entire deal regarding the Corrib field stinks to high heaven. The fact that Shell is willing to abandon its campaign of intimidation rather than shed any light into this dark corner speaks for itself. read full story / add a comment

The trade union movement must play an active role in opposing US-backed Israeli military aggression. The following is the statement issued to the media and circulated by Anti-War Ireland. read full story / add a comment

During the summer of 1946, over 40,000 British people took the law into their own hands and squatted in property that they didn't own - initially disused military camps, then empty hotels and blocks of flats. It was an unprecedented movement of civil disobedience, and it presented Atlee's Labour Government with its first great crisis. Mark Whitaker tells the story - with testimony from several of the squatters themselves. read full story / add a comment
