THE Erris-based football club, Valley Rovers has sensationally pulled out of this year's FAI Junior Cup. The club officially notified the FAI of its intention to withdraw yesterday (Monday). They described the action as a "boycotting" one taken on the grounds that the high profile knock-out challenge is sponsored by Statoil, who are one of Shell E&P Ireland Ltd's partners in the Corrib gas project in Erris. The Statoil FAI Junior Cup is one of the biggest soccer knock out tournaments in Europe. In an official statement Valley Rovers F.C. said it had been disappointed to see local people from its parish, Kilcommon, being treated in a "heavy handed manner" by Gardaí as they protested at Shell's first attempts to resume work at the terminal site in Bellanaboy. read full story / add a comment

The Poker-wielding one: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76928 has advanced the theory that a law will soon be launched to endow the eunuchs of the nation the right to defence of property: "Sure you cannot take it with you..."

About 1,150 Non National parents of Irish Born Children, who had previously been denied the right to stay for various reasons under the IBC/05 Administrative Scheme, won a landmark case at the High Court on Tuesday November 14, 2006. The presiding Judge, Ms Justice Mary Finlay Geoghegan said the Minister for Justice Equality and Law Reform had breached the rights of several Irish-born children under both the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights Act in how he considered the applications for leave to remain here of their parents, the judge quashed the Minister's refusals in all but one case. The decision relates only to non-national parents of children born before January 1st, 2005. read full story / add a comment
