From about 5pm thursday evening a blockade was placed on the Council waste depot at Grangegorman on the north side of Dublin. This was to disrupt the evening rubbish collection in the city centre. More than eighty people took part. I came down the Grangegorman Road about 4.30 this evening. As I passed the depot all was quiet so I went a further couple of hundred yards until I met between seven and ten people waiting at the corner of a side street. I only recognised a couple of them. A couple more seemed to be members of the media, one of them had a video camera. Someone else had a sack with some placards. We waited there until close to 5pm, then began to make our way up toward the depot. As we arrived more people were also arriving, some in small groups and others on their own. Some of the people were from nearby houses. We began to walk around in a circle in front of the depot gate. The placards had words to the effect "How to defeat this tax" and had sp read full story / add a comment

At last Sunday's Irish Anti-War Movement AGM, a decision was taken to support a demonstration called by the Tralee Anti-War Group to be held at the forthcoming Ard Fheis of Fianna Fail. This annual jamboree of the corrupt and the corruptible is due to be held on Saturday week in Killarney. It is vital that people make a serious effort to get to this demonstration, which will be focused on the abuse of Shannon airport as a U.S. military refuelling stop. read full story / add a comment

-There should be no exemptions from the tax for the large polluters. There have been proposals that the biggest polluters should be exempted from the tax in order to protect their economic position. This would lead to a greater burden on all other economic sectors and consumers. It would both be unfair and lead to higher emissions than would be achieved on a level playing pitch. -Poorer households must be compensated. Because poorer households spend a higher percentage of their income on energy than wealthier households, they must be compensated. This should be through changes to the social welfare and tax systems and investment in insulation and other energy efficiency measures. -Money raised should be used to fund a transfer to a low-carbon economy. A substantial part of the money raised should be used in a decarbonisation fund, to bring about a rapid change to a more energy-efficient, renewables-based economy. read full story / add a comment

30 protestors have been blockading a bin truck in south Finglas for the last while. This is the biggest turnout so far in the Finglas area and is in one of the strongest area for the campaign there. The blockade is completely peaceful and non-confrontational. The council official arrived and told the protestors that he would have to call the police. They are expected to arrive shortly. read full story / add a comment
