Postmen and Postwomen of Eire. Many times in past generations have you been called upon to suffer the yoke of privitisation and Fianna Fail meddling in essential services, and you have answered that call with industrial action. Well done! 90% of the members of the CWU have turned out to vote 90% in favour of strike action. Thats more democractic than any ard fheis in gleneagles. The strike notice has to be for 2 weeks time. read full story / add a comment

Considering that the Rossport 5 will be up in court on Tuesday 25th October, we have decided to hold a protest on the same day outside the Falls Road Shell garage at St James's. The protest will begin at 5pm. There is a chance, however remote, that the five men could end up being jailed again after this hearing on Tuesday. There will be other actions taking place in different parts of the country to coincide with their court appearance. It's important that we do what we can to support them and to express solidarity with this important cause. read full story / add a comment

"The UN probe led by German prosecutor Detlev Mehlis named as suspects in the February 14 killing members in the inner circle of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, including his brother-in-law. The report said Foreign Minister Farouq al-Shara gave investigators false information and accused top pro-Syrian Lebanese officials of a major role in the killing, with suspicion cast even on President Emile Lahoud. Syria dismissed the charges as "far from the truth", while Lahoud denied them and indicated he would not be driven from office despite calls for him to resign. read full story / add a comment

I don't know how the other people in the communities there must be coping - the fact that he was taken in broad daylight with the apparent overt complicity of the police, has left everyone very shocked. and I guess the accompaniers who were with him will be forever wondering what they could have done differently to try and stop this terrible thing from happening. and I just keep thinking about how this can happen here, like it was ordinary, like it was normal. i didn't know orlando, but i met him last week when he was filling in the forms for his visa. I just keep thinking of that big smiling man sitting in the corner of the office, his sunglasses pushed down his nose, chatting about his trip, wishing him a safe journey. and now when i pass by the office all i see is a photocopied sheet with his photo, and the word 'desaparecido'. read full story / add a comment

In Sydney Australia the politicians have clearly being take a leaf out of the politicians books here as a 30 year deal was done with a private company for a toll on a tunnel in the city. Likewise our toll bridges, especially the one over the Liffey on the M50 -the West Link. Except that the Austrialian govt. hadn't expected the motorists to boycott it. This is a lesson for us here and Irish motorists too should likewise boycott our toll bridges and roads if they want to get the parasites off their backs. read full story / add a comment

Analysts and historians would recall the last time ’bogeyman’ hysteria gripped an unwary public; USA of the nineteen fifties and McCarthyism with the ‘red under the bed threat’ is now one of history's embarrassing moments. Joe McCarthy, puppet of ultra-right forces in the US, ruined numerous careers and lives – for nothing! The degree of 'threat’ attributed to the 'reds' proved to be wildly exaggerated, more a product of excited 'judgement' or shared delusion than accurate assessment. US intelligence agencies and ultra-right militarists fell victim to their own propaganda and the (dis)information warfare waged at the time. read full story / add a comment

Here are questions that are not being asked about the latest twist of a cynical war. Were explosives and a remote-control detonator found in the car of the two SAS special forces men "rescued" from prison in Basra on 19 September? If true, what were they planning to do with them? Why did the British military authorities in Iraq put out an unbelievable version of the circumstances that led up to armoured vehicles smashing down the wall of a prison? read full story / add a comment

‘Children can bring out the best and worst in adults’ says Ann Healey, a Playtherapist who lives in Courtmacsherry, Co Cork. ‘Depending on how we listen and respond to them, their interaction with us will be affected. I read a book many years ago called ‘Dibs in Search of Self’ by Virginia Axiline and it changed my whole approach to working with children. It caused me to realise that verbally instructing children is not an effective way of relating to them - especially children with learning disabilities.” read full story / add a comment
