I’m appealing to everyone whether living in Ireland, or abroad to support the 'National Day Of Action', organised by the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), the umbrella group for most Trade Unions in Ireland, this Friday, December 9th against the exploitation of workers, especially migrant workers, and the general race to the bottom associated with capitalism! read full story / add a comment

Countryside Alliance fails ASA truth test The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has ruled today (December 7) that the Countryside Alliance (CA) made untruthful and unsubstantiated claims in its attempt to promote the alleged benefits of game shooting. In its recently published glossy brochure, On the Front Foot, the CA falsely claimed that a shooting school in Berkshire had raised £1 million for good causes in 2004. read full story / add a comment

The present international instability could result in one or numerous other horrendous scenarios. However, the one glaring consistency or constant in today’s international political arena is the hatred that America has attracted from the rest of the world. Regardless of any other consideration, a nation despised by all is doomed. The USA has earned its reward by its blatant double standards, hypocrisy and the serial exploitation of weaker nations. These are the direct causes of the retaliatory response on American interests worldwide. The so-called “terrorists” are only a minor distraction while the real war unfolds. read full story / add a comment

All those involved in the campaign to save Tara are disturbed by the information on Brian Duffy, Chief State Archaeologist, as revealed by Frank McDonald (Irish Times, 5th December, 2005). Disturbed but not particularly surprised. Once again the credentials of a government advisor are questioned and questionable. read full story / add a comment

The social welfare office is a bleak place to find yourself on a summer’s afternoon. It's decrepit decor of ruddy orange plastic chairs and ratty gray carpets, scarred with cigarette burns from anxious claimants testify to a lack of state investment and care . With every text and fag leaving another dent in a miserly bank balance, attempting to navigate signing on for the first time is more obstacle course than a walk in the park. read full story / add a comment

Friends of the Earth has written to European environment ministers in advance of their arrival in Montreal calling on them to rethink the EU's negotiating strategy. The current approach risks the climate talks drifting into a dead end. Minister Dick Roche, who has delayed his departure for Montreal until after the budget, received the letter on Tuesday afternon. Oisin Coghlan, Friends of the Earth Director in Ireland, said “The EU’s Environment Ministers must not forget that Europe has sent them to Montreal to secure a robust framework for negotiations to win the battle against global climate change. Their negotiators, who have been in Montreal for more than a week now, have instead prioritised an agreement that is acceptable to the Bush Administration. But the US negotiators have made clear they will water any deal down to voluntary action or nothing, making it worth less than the paper it's written on.” read full story / add a comment

Minister for Education Mary Hanafin TD tonight confirmed the Government's support for the workers in the Irish Ferries dispute is little more that a face saving sham. The Taoiseach's carefully choreographed charade is now in tatters following her statement that teachers who leave the classroom on the ICTU’s National Day of Action will be docked their pay. Hanafin who isn’t known for making mistakes has surely committed a massive one on this occasion. It remains to be seen what our “Socialist” Taoiseach’s response will be! http://www.unison.ie/breakingnews/index.php3?ca=9&si=83459 http://www.rte.ie/news/2005/1206/irishferries.html read full story / add a comment

It's interesting that the SIPTU leadership and De Rossa who both were condescending to NO campaigners in recent referendum have awoken to the threat in light of the Irish Ferries rubicon. If it wasn't so sad we'd laugh and tell you we told you so. read full story / add a comment
