national / crime and justice / opinion/analysis Wednesday June 24, 2009 00:44 by I. Greene
On 8 June 2009 Mr Justice (Sir) Declan Morgan delivered the judgment in the marathon Omagh civil case. The judgment delivery ended the year long hearing leaving more questions unanswered than answered with its content less than convincing. The burden of proof in civil cases is based on the laws of probability and in this case Mr. Justice Morgan stretched the probability rule well outside the boundaries. The judgment in its entirety contained multiple ambiguities and inevitably the defendants will appeal. One can only assume that Mr Morgan is a highly intelligent man by the very fact that he has recently been elevated to the office of Lord Chief Justice, however this particular judgment may come back to haunt him. read full story / add a comment
dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Wednesday June 24, 2009 00:35 by Brid's Blog
Our first engagement with the council as newly elected councillors was an induction session where we met the main management team of the council and were briefed on meetings, facilities, positions etc. Dublin City Council is a huge organisation and has a beurocracy to match. But what alarmed me mostly was the horse-trading for positions that goes on among the elected councillors themselves. read full story / add a comment

While in Cobh today, we also met some of the local fishermen who still manage to work despite years of depredation by the pharmaceutical industry in the harbour. We passed on to them copies of this letter printed here which we encourage anyone else with any contacts whatsoever in the fishing community to use to communicate to the the situation to other fishermen. I am also looking for information regarding the state of the fishing industry in Ireland over the last 60 years. I am coming to understand that our fishing rights have been given away as surely as our oil and gas over a longer period. I am convinced that these issues have to be linked in the common consciousness. A significant difference being that fishing, done right is a renewable resource. It ain't being done right now. The sea is being f**ked and so are the fishermen. If only ye could stand together lads. read full story / add a comment

Supposed ‘hard fight’ to secure guarantees on Lisbon Treaty: a clever tactic to mislead says McKenna
national / eu / press release Monday June 22, 2009 12:26 by O. O'C
Not one single word of the Lisbon Treaty will be altered by these guarantees, which is why they do not need to be ratified by the National Parliaments of the 27 Member States. The so called ‘legal guarantees’ are nothing more than an interpretation by EU Heads of State as to what they think the Lisbon Treaty means. However, if the Lisbon Treaty comes into force, it will be the EU Court of Justice in Luxembourg which will interpret Lisbon. The EU Court is the only body authorised under the European Treaties to interpret the Treaties themselves and decide how they should be applied. The political decision and agreement of a particular group of EU Prime Ministers and Presidents, which is what we are being presented with, cannot and will not decide what Lisbon means. read full story / add a comment
