America, they refer to the Underclass. Medical Services in Ireland are harnassed by the divide - you pay or you don't.......therein is the obscurity as to how to have hope and get the best treatment..... I note Patient's Together are mobilising to challenge Professor Drumm and the HSE scandal of overcrowding in Accident and Emergency. I am hearing too much about suicide. I am encountering a degree of medical arrogance that I can no longer accept. I wonder have people experienced similar problems. We are not hearing about all the suicides.....i.e. those involving the Luas for example or the out of the ordinary number in Finglas at the moment. What is the system saying......Are they confining us to no Hope and the undersclass category. read full story / add a comment

By Nicola Byrne Sunday June 18, 2006 The Observer Staff working at Shannon Airport are being pressed to report any evidence they see of trafficking of prisoners by the US military. It follows the discovery by a cleaner last Sunday of a manacled soldier on board a US civilian aircraft at the airport. The incident has proved highly embarrassing for the Irish government, which had always accepted assurances that no such traffic passed through its airports. Foreign Minister Dermot Ahern has now signalled that gardai may carry out random checks of US planes using the airport, but in the absence of any concrete decision human rights groups have asked staff at Shannon to report anything out of the ordinary. 'Only for the vigilance of one worker, we still wouldn't know for certain what we have long suspected - that prisoners are been transported through Ireland by the American authorities,' said Fintan Lane of the Irish Anti-War Movement. 'We are now depending on staff at Shannon to report more incidents. It's the only way we can find out what is being carried on US military aircraft at this point.' read full story / add a comment

Encouraging students to get involved in politics, representation, activism and campaigning is a funny business. In an ideal, perfect situation, you wouldn't have a division between encourager and encouragee; no-one should need to drum up interest among others or to have a position of 'managing' student involvement. But we don't live in that world, and it's perfectly usual to see students' unions, political 'youth wings', campaign groups and so on trying to encourage 'others' to get involved. read full story / add a comment

"This is the most dangerous legislation that has ever come before the House because it seeks to deprive people of the power to make observations and objections in regard to planning matters." (Deputy Michael Ring T.D.) "If local people cannot have an input into the planning process, they will see their local councillors as being irrelevant."

The right wing media in Britain reacted with predictable fury at Loach’s treatment of the Irish war of independence in his prize winning film ,The Wind That Shakes The Barley .The Times compared Loach unfavourably to Hitler’s favourite director, Leni Riefenstahl ;the liberal press - again predictably- took the view that the film was one-sided in its anti-British stance . In this Guardian interview Loach defends his film from liberal and tory critics alike . read full story / add a comment
