international / bin tax / household tax / water tax / event notice Sunday May 23, 2004 23:15 by Neil
On the 27th April gardia entered a house on leeson street and arrested 1 man in the building and two others in the street, i'm sure you heard about this at the time, though now since speaking to those in ireland, there seems to be a lack of interest in the case.
I was one of those arrested and subsquently had to spend a week in cloverhill remand prison, our case is back up in november, and the two others who have been forced to stay in dublin until then...
if there are any witnesses to the arrests or any information that can be given from those who were in the building at the time shortly before could they get in contact with me at [email protected] or joe and polly that'd be great...
im also up in court on september 22nd in cloverhill if any1 wants to come down in solidarity that'd be amazing...

The human race has moved into the digital age. After centuries of hardship and toil now is presumably the time when the information revolution bears fruition. This so called information revolution refers to the rapid in increase in use of automated technology in modern global society, e.g. ATM machines, mobile phones, satellite technology, smart cards and the Internet. The ideology of the Global Information Infrastructure (GII) centres on the freedom of information for all. The ease of availability of information about other cultures, about government activities and about important news would, it was hoped, lead to greater understanding among cultures. read full story / add a comment
