Spc. Casey Sheehan transited through Shannon, thanks to Bush & Bertie, on his way to his death. His brief time here confirmed for Casey his love for Ireland. What a shame and disgrace on us that we were complicit in his death! Today is a time to remember Casey, his family, and especially his mother, Cindy Sheehan, who has raised to US and perhaps global peace movement from, if not the grave, then certainly ennui. She deserves our thanks and our sympathies on this day. read full story / add a comment

international / worker & community struggles and protests / other press Tuesday April 04, 2006 15:44 by Terence
The US media operating clearly on behalf of US capitalism has reacted angrily to the protests in France using hatred and fear. This is quite striking because normally the US media hardly covers internal developments in other countries. So the fact it is doing this shows it's true fears which are that the social unrest might spread to the USA itself where social tensions are already very high. read full story / add a comment

A leading member of the British Labour Party and supporter of the war in Iraq addressed the Irish Labour Party conference on Saturday. That is despite the opposition of some members of the Irish organisation.

Peter Watt, General Secretary, the Labour Party spoke on Saturday night at the conference in DCU during the warm up to Pat Rabbitte's speech. How does this tie in with Labour's contribution to the anti war movement in Ireland? see http://www.labour.ie/youth/news/index/20060321162846.html
