On 1 October 2007, the Weston Gardens Residents' Association, of which I am Cathaoirleach, sent a letter by registered post to Brendan Kenny (CEO Limerick Regeneration Agencies). When Mr. Kenny did not respond after 3 weeks, we decided to go public. On 24 October 2007, we bought a full page in the Limerick Leader and published a shortened version . The reaction of Mr. Kenny & co. was predictable; spin and deny. read full story / add a comment

The Minister for Education Catroina Ruane has stated publicly that the current offer on the table to settle the Classroom Assistants dispute is valued at £45 million. This is in direct contradiction to the statements by the Education Boards that the offer is valued at £40.2 million. These opposing statement have caused great confusion amongst parents and staff. NIPSA is calling for transparency in the job evaluation process and demanding access to the costings for the job evaluation process. read full story / add a comment

I cam across this tale whilst having coffee in leafy D4, in the Baggot Street area and this tied in with something that I had heard a few weeks ago in that Palace of Epicurian Delights the Embassy Grill in Ballsbridge. The story is about corporate greed, arogance and "murky stuff" which links back to the rendition flights out of Shannon. read full story / add a comment

Press Release Hands Off the People of Iran (HOPI) November Teach-In As the war drums beat ominously and an attack on Iran seems inevitable, an important campaign is being built in Ireland. HOPI stands with the Iranian people, not the Iranian government. We totally oppose the Bush war-drive and at the same time speak out and publicise the current crackdown by the Iranian government on both dissidents and ordinary Iranian people. HOPI is holding a Teach-In in Dublin on 10 November to inform and discuss the situation and building solidarity. read full story / add a comment

Yassamine Mather in an article published in the Weekly Worker (25 Oct 07) deals with the growing threat of war against Iran. She also analyses developments amongst the Kurds and highlights how the Iraqi PUK are betraying other Kurds. If anyone is in any doubt about the level of the threat of war against Iran, I suggest they read the text of a speech by Tony Blair comparing “Iran’s extremism” to “rising fascism in the 1920s and 1930s” (Times Oct 19). Quiet clearly Blair has spent so much time in Israel that he repeats like a parrot the most stupid utterances of Israeli politicians - all this in line with the US administration’s plans for possible military attack against Iran and paving the way for more extensive sanctions. Worst of all for Iran’s leaders, Russian president Vladimir Putin, in Tehran for talks with the theocratic regime gave a stark warning that Russia will not oppose further sanctions and military strikes against Iran, unless it stopped its enrichment of nuclear-grade uranium. read full story / add a comment

Peter symonds reflects on the decision of the Bush Regime to brand the iranian Revolutionary Guards as a weapons proliferator and a supporter of terrorism. Who says irony is dead when the Bushistas come out with this kind of guff? Peter symonds also deals with the heightening tensions regarding nuclear power in Iran. The Bush administration’s unprecedented decision last week to brand the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a weapons proliferator and its Quds Force as a “supporter of terrorism” has heightened tensions with Tehran and undermined European efforts at negotiations, setting the stage for a US attack on Iran. While the White House still claims to be seeking a diplomatic solution to the current confrontation, a series of media articles have noted Washington’s increasingly bellicose rhetoric and warned that the US appears to have decided on military action against Iran. read full story / add a comment
