Sinn Féin to hold urgent discussions on Racist Attacks South Belfast Sinn Féin Assembly member Alex Maskey along with party colleague Stiofan Long will hold urgent discussions with representatives of the ethnic minority communities in Belfast tomorrow to discuss ongoing racist attacks. The meeting will take place with the Multi Cultural Resource Centre, 9 Lower Crescent, Belfast at 1pm. Speaking today Mr Maskey said: " Those of us in political leadership have a duty to stand with ethnic minority communities in the face of what is an ongoing campaign being waged by loyalist gangs against them. " Tomorrow's meeting is part of an ongoing engagement between Sinn Féin and the representatives of the ethnic minority communities. We will be listening to their concerns and together trying to work out practical steps to bring about an end to the current campaign of racist attacks, particularly in South Belfast." read full story / add a comment

You may have heard that the Airfield Estate in Dundrum, Dublin, is in danger of more development.

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

I believe that popular resistance to the imposition of the neo-liberal economic agenda is vital- whether one lives in Ireland or Bolivia. However, it is often easier to see this agenda being imposed in the developing world than it is to recognise it as an increasingly central dimension of the ‘European Project’. read full story / add a comment
