Just wanted to tip people off that DLR council are handing over all out standing waste collection accounts to debt collectors. The council have come under pressure from those campaigning against car clamping and as result it has emerged that the council has never attempted to collect any outstanding debts. Householders are sent out several bills each year for their waste collection with many realising that no attempt has ever been made to collect these monies resulting in most householders getting a free collection for years yet the council continues to bemoan the fact that funds are low. It has been reported locally that the service will be privatised and no doubt they want to collect would could be as much as 7 million before going private. Debt collectors using heavy handed tactics is certainly not the way forward. It was also decided not to announce this until after the election. read full story / add a comment

The Federal Minister of Employment and Workplace Relations (big) Joe Hockey was forced this week to draw his leader’s attention to the oppressive reality facing average working Australians. Crushing debt, loss of penalty rates and other entitlements have forced many Australian families to the wall. Mortgagee sales in working class areas throughout the nation have increased at an alarming rate. John Howard, the darling of big business and the Corporate sector wondered why the common people were not eating cake! read full story / add a comment

The May and June AGM period of Shell Annual meetings in London and Amsterdam should be the specific annual period where the focus should be on giving the Irsh public factual and visual information on the record of Shell worldwide as it struggles to find its feet in Irish waters.This should be the goal in every activity during this period so that people come to know once again why there is opposition to Shell in Mayo, and Ireland is in union with other Shell- suffering comminities who will be making their voices heard at this time. At the very least lots of placard information and messages. read full story / add a comment

Green Party candidate for Dublin Central Patricia McKenna said that Ireland had an opportunity to play a leadership role in the fight against the continuing scandal of hunger in the world. She said it was a disgrace that the world's poorest had to wait until 2015 for the Irish government to meet its UN commitment on overseas aid. McKenna said: "Ireland's history of famine in the 19th century, coupled with our more recent experiences of poverty and emigration, give us legitimacy in providing leadership on foreign aid. But Fianna Fail and the PDs have proven themselves unable to provide that leadership. The last two governments have shamefully reneged on their aid commitments." McKenna was commenting as the government announced today that it will recognise and fund a commemoration of Ireland's Great Famine. read full story / add a comment
