Airfield is a working farm in Dundrum. I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up beside it and I am concerned about its future and the community's right to have access to it as a rare amenity in the area.

Rumours are that property developers have other ideas though. One example of this has been Gannon Developments and John Finnegan buying some of the farm’s land already, where they built the car park for a Luas station and several high rise appartment blocks. read full story / add a comment

Much has been said about the technical shortcomings of electronic voting, but less attention has been paid to the social aspects of the issue. In this talk Andrew O Baoill will draw on theorists such as Ivan Illich and Jurgen Habermas to critique the technophilic drive towards electronic voting, and highlight some of the damage it is likely to cause to the political process.

Topic: Electronic voting - the social aspects
Date/Time: Tuesday 13th January, 2004. 7pm.
Venue: NUI, Galway. Room IT 125G. (IT Building, at the back of the Arts/Science concourse). read full story / add a comment
