We already made a big banner, 12 meters long, demanding "ZONA CATASTROFICA, XA!" and we hanged it in Riazor (football stadium) taking advantage of the Depor-Juve match and all the foreign media there. I watched the recorded match at home and the panoramic shots of the crowd would stop exactly when reaching our banner. Other networks didn’t broadcast a single shot either and I can assure you, you could read it from the whole stadium. On the 1st of December there was a demonstration in Santiago to ask for "catastrophic zone". ON TV NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT". If a power popular movement doesn’t grow to support this it will soon be forgotten (even though some foreign papers are claming that this is the worst environmental disaster in the history of Europe) read full story / add a comment

The fishermen have joined other groups of ordinary people such as the residents in Mayo who are bravely fighting the Shell corporation which is ripping off their gas resourses and the relatives of the young people who died at the hands of the drug corporations and who refuse to accept the mockery of the Lindsey tribunal. It proves that you dont need a nutty dogma to do the right thing, read full story / add a comment

We raised €3345. Our apologies for that. We will promise that our members, aged between 18-22 will never do something like that again. Once again, we apologise to the readership of this forum for doing this. We apologise for sleeping on the streets of Limerick for charity in the run up to exams, in the run up to Christmas. We apologise for giving up our time to raise money. We apologise for trying. Give us a break. read full story / add a comment

The respectable face of dissent ( social worker types, womens council rich feminists, priests, fas supervisors etc) are back in partnership talks again, if they get a wage increase or a bit of extra EU funding, all this hollow criticism of the budget will soon stop. read full story / add a comment

Fianna Fail's Ned O'Keefe recently described the current Government as the most right-wing in the history of the Irish State. "Caring" Bertie Ahern was outraged. He said he considered FF to be left-of-centre. "Caring" Micheal Martin followed suit, declaring himself as a left-wing politician. Today, inflation figures showed that price rises in the last 12 months averaged 4.8%. In the area of health, the increase was 13.9%. In education it was 10.2%. And there was me thinking that left-wingers supported cheaper, more accessible health and education services. read full story / add a comment
