In a brutal escalation of repression, the Pakistani government ordered widescale arrests of telecommunication workers fighting to defeat privatisation. Police raided homes and arrested family members when they could not find telecommunication workers they were looking for. This is similar tactics to that used by the US army who take relatives as hostages when they raid homes in Iraq. read full story / add a comment

In January of this year, communities in Swords and Dublin 15 were celebrating the success of Socialist Party motions, that secured a green belt zoning on hundreds of acres of land, which had been targeted for residential development.

At the end of May, the Development Plan changes had to be ratified by the Councillors.

However in a disgusting move, Sinn Fein sided with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael to overturn the decision for 140 acres in Swords and restore the residential zonings. Their Councillor did not participate in any of the discussions during the months of meetings on this plan and yet it was with that one vote that all the campaigning of the community was betrayed. read full story / add a comment

Despite the continuation occupation and war, Anti-war activity in Ireland has declined steadily from the strong opposition of 2003/2004. The focus has been blurred and there is no network of activists to support each other and to keep the protests going. read full story / add a comment

A May 31 report in the highly respected Mexican daily La Jornada stated that in late May 2005 Paraguay’s Congress rushed through a law “that will permit United States troops to enter this South American country for 18 months, with immunity for all personnel that participate in activities of training and advising, including civilian personnel.” Paraguay and Bolivia share a border.

Given recent negative US government statements re Bolivia and its social movements – which are demanding complete nationalisation of country’s oil, gas and water – this is an ominous development.

by CHARLIE McGUIRE, Imperial Hotel, Eyre Square, Galway, 8pm

Roddy Connolly (1901 -1980) had a long & varied political career. He was at the side of his father in the GPO in 1916; a few years later he was a founder of the Communist Party of Ireland and a confidant of anti-Treaty republicans; in the 1930s, he was involved in the Republican Congress. Later, he was a Labour TD; later still, he was an obedient pro-coalition chairman of the Labour Party. The lecture will consider Roddy Connolly's career, with a particular focus on his custodianship of the Connolly legacy. read full story / add a comment
