dublin / miscellaneous / event notice Friday February 13, 2009 00:51 by Gino Kenny
People Before Profit Alliance in Ballyfermot and Clondalkin are calling on local people to support busworkers and fight cuts to the bus services in their area.
Dublin Bus is to lay off 300 employees and cut 120 routes across the city. This amounts to one tenth of the total bus service. Route 78A will have at least 20 departures per day cut from the existing timetable. Everyone knows that this is one of the most used buses in Dublin. There will most certainly be longer gaps between bus services on the 78A. On top of this they are getting rid of the 210 Route which connects the people of Clondalkin with Tallaght hospital.

As anyone in the hinterland of UK politics will have noticed, one of the House of Lords UK Independence party wanted to invite Geert Wilders the far-right Dutch parliamentarian with the ugly hair and uglier politics to show his "Fitna" vid this afternoon in Westminster.

But then the UK Home Office decided he was persona non-grata. Ooooo shock & horror a society, which like many in Europe faces an increase in far right politics and anti-migrant opinion against the backdrop of economic collapse, has now turned to debating whether or not he should have been allowed past the passport desk in the name of "Freedom of Speech". read full story / add a comment

national / worker & community struggles and protests / press release Wednesday February 11, 2009 14:56 by éirígí PRO
éirígí chairperson Brian Leeson has called for workers at the Waterford Crystal site to start producing on their own terms as the only way to safeguard their jobs.

While the occupation of the site continues, the best bid received for the company so far, from a group called Clarion, would mean the loss of 400 jobs.

A US company that has also joined the bidding wants to keep only the Waterford Crystal name and lay off all the workers. read full story / add a comment

"I would rather be in prison or dead than blindly submit to a government I know is corrupt and wrong. I would rather dare to live free and fight against injustice than cower in silence and despair. I think many people feel the same way. We just have to be smarter in how we speak out and in how we act." read full story / add a comment

The man is in a corner, his party in a hole, the opposition lining up to take on the government’s toxic debts
and Ireland once again is in an economic shithole that was brought about by political representatives who neither knew how to spend wisely nor how to manage properly, in case of a rainy day, the state’s finances. Joe Higgins was a total gobeen for telling us that we were on a slide to disaster, while David McWilliams was criticised by everybody and anybody who proudly professed their expertise in the financial affairs of the state. read full story / add a comment
