UCD Labour Youth will welcome former Irish Locomotive Drivers Association activist Brendan Ogle to Belfield this Wednesday.

Ogle, now involved in the ATGWU, was a major player in the recognition dispute at Iarnród Éireann in 2000. He has a unique insight into trade unionism and industrial relations in ireland and is the author of a recent book, "Off the Rails: The Story of ILDA," in which much of the dispute is summarised from a worker's perspective.

Ogle will speak on the topic "Trade Unionism and Social Partnership Today" and the event will comprise a brief introduction and a questions and answers session. The meeting will take place in Theatre R of the Arts Block at 6pm on Wednesday, October 27th.

All are welcome to what is bound to be a fascinating insight into the contentious world of Irish trade unionism and industrial relations.

“Israel has the right to defend and to protect itself” is one of the empty phrases which Americans constantly repeat. What they really mean each time when they repeat this phrase is that they have abandoned all attempts to conceal the fact that they have become but a satrapy of Israel, and that they can do nothing to deny Israel the "right" to occupy the West Bank and Gaza, the right to "protect" the settlers and ITF occupation and the continued violations of human rights. Israel has the right to kill, to steal, to arrest, to demolish ... to do just anything. read full story / add a comment

Below is an article by well known Indy media commentator Marc Mulholland. It is possibly the best and most honest explanation of a pro war stance that I have come across and raises many interesting points for debate.

Gambling on Revolution
For those who supported the Iraq War as a punt on the prospects of
detonating democratic revolution in the country and by extension in the region – sections of the Neocon Right and the Liberal Left – the question of realism is critical if we are not to be condemned as dilettante utopians. read full story / add a comment
