A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Sean Garland, the President of the Workers' Party, after he failed to appear in a Belfast court today to face possible extradition to the US.
He appeared in court on foot of an arrest warrant alleging that he had been involved in counterfeiting large quantities of $100 bills.
He was subsequently released on bail, on the condition that he resided with a friend in Co Down.
Last month his bail was varied to allow him to return home to Navan to undergo medical treatment. read full story / add a comment

On tuesday many age out minors had to sign on at the GNIB but have been told to report back thursday to finalise their deportation, so we are expecting a deportation tomorrow

Residents Against Racism have called a demonstration for 1.30pm outside the Garda National Immigration Bureau(GNIB) to protest against the deportation.
We need all the support possible to try stop this going ahead.

Its good to see that the spirit of Christ is alive and well in the US Catholic Church. These are the same goons who are trying to avoid claims from abuse victims and are refusing the sacrements to Pro-Choice politicians.

George McGovern talks about Poppy Bush's opposition to the war. Jody Paulson compares GWB to Tricky Dick.
