Macron claims that Russia is an ?existential threat? to Europe. Yet his actions belie this. France has given Ukraine 12 times less aid than Denmark. And it's still importing billions of euros of Russian energy.

Left wing and right wingers who scream at each other about the Iraq war should sober up. It may well be that within the borders of nation states issues of law are in the camp of "right" and "wrong" but in the International stage there is no only "necessity." read full story / add a comment

Greenore/Cooley Fisherman's Association is concerned about inappropriate colonisation of Carlingford Lough and it is of the opinion that nonsenses such as The Lough's Agency (set up under the "Belfast Agreement") are foreshadowed in the roles arrogated to themselves by our own Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources. read full story / add a comment

Court decision in a case brought by three Finglas residents regarding the
fairness and legality of the imposition of bin charges. The case centred
around the ?polluter pays? principle and challenged the legality of the

The following is the entire text of George W. Bush's State of the Union address.
Since this is an open media forum it thought it appropiate to publish it.
Whatever your views on Bush certainly this speech is hard to beat!
John Kerry or Howard Dean please take note. Bush could trounce you in a public debate! The new articulate intelligent Bush is marching in your direction!

Current trade negotiations between the USA and Australia shed some light on exactly how the EU Commission and the secretive EU 133 Committee view future international trade deals with regard to our (EU) public health systems.

Basically the USA is trying to force Australia into accepting that when the state bulk buys medicinal drugs it is acting illegally, distorting international trade and creating unnecessarily restrictive trade barriers.

The Australian state bulk buys the medicinal drugs so that it can provide them free and/or sell them cheap to the Australian public.

How did I find this out? Why does it show the way for the Antidemocratic Proposed EU Constitution? Read on ... read full story / add a comment

The visit of Tony Wentworth (BNP) to UCC has apparently been cancelled. The decision was taken on Friday night when the General Services people in the college advised the college that it would be too risky.

Unfortunately they did not cancel the event on ethical grounds so no doubt we will be going though this again next year.

So congrats to all involved. The meeting will go ahead tonight to discuss how the campaign went- upstairs in the Phoenix Bar at 8pm.
