On Monday 6th March 2006 anti-choice activists celebrated when South Dakota's governor signed into law one of the most restrictive abortion measures in the country, helping set up a court battle intended to challenge the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. The South Dakota law signed by Governor Mike Rounds makes it a crime for doctors to perform an abortion unless it is necessary to save the woman's life, with no exception in cases of rape or incest. read full story / add a comment

The case against the state challenging the constitutionality of the amended National monuments act 1930-2004 has been deffered for the third time. The date for judgement of this important case had been variously given, the last one was Feb 16th, the day of the launch of the Planning and Development Bill 2006,(The Strategic Infrastructure Bill)I am not a lawyer, and have not studied the details of the Carrickmines case too closely, but the locus of the case was based on the signing of the joint consent order to destroy the castle remains at Carrickmines and to remove sections of the revetted fosse. Ministerial consents for destruction of a national monument could occur after 21 days sitting of the Oireachtas, which in real terms gave the minister his unreviewable discretionary powers.The judgement was listed for tomorrow but is now deffered, it will have a direct repurcussion on the situation at the Tara Complex and other heritage sites in Ireland. No reason has been given for the deferral. The case has been put back for mention for Thursday the 9th of March. read full story / add a comment

It is astonisihing that only Susan McKay has raised the question of the bona fides of FAIR in a substantive manner. It is not as though the information is hard to come by. For instance: FAIR demonstrated outside Stormont about the early release of Republican prisoners. When asked by David Dunseath of the BBC about the early release of loyalist prisoners Frazer replied “They should never have been locked up in the first place” read full story / add a comment

Friends of the Earth has called for the 15c levy on plastic bags to be doubled. On the the fourth anniversary of its introduction analysis of Department of the Environment figures shows the number of bags being bought is rising steadily. After the plastic bag tax was introduced on 4th March 2002 the number of bags being put into circulation fell dramatically with visible environmental benefits. In the first year after the introduction of the 15c levy just under 90 million bags were bought by the public and this fell to less than 85 million in 2003. But since then the number has been on the up again, to 100 million in 2004 and at least 113 million in 2005, a rise of over a third. read full story / add a comment
