Last Thursday the war came home to London. The indiscriminate killing in London last Thursday imitates the hi tech slaughters by British & U.S. forces in the invasions of Iraq & Afghanistan. The Ahern Govt. continues to make Ireland deeply complicit in these illegal wars and a predictable target as Shannon Airport continues to host 30,000 U.S. military a month. As Peter Ustinov reflected," War is the terrorism of the rich; Terrorism is the war of the poor!" A week on from the London attacks, we take pause from this cycle of violence to remember the dead. Gather at GPO 8.30am-9.30am. Wear black if possible. Names of the dead from London & Iraq will be read. We will demand the withdrawl of Irish complicity and Shannon Airport from the war effort. read full story / add a comment

The High Court meets again on Thursday at 10.00 am. There is confusion about what is preparation, constuction etc. etc. For the lay observer a call to rescind all project consents by the Minister might be in order at this point. No mention at all of the QRA and if Shell has produced all the documents ordered by the Judge previously. Project splitting comes across as a very primitive procedure in this day and age. Now there are phases as well as splits and one wonders if the Minister has time for all of them and why the project comes in this format. Good job building a house does not come in splits and phases with the planning authorities. Now the floors, now the windows, now the septic tank......! read full story / add a comment

Dozens of Nigerian women from four local hostels are currently living in fear of deportation - despite their harrowing accounts of abuse. They have called a 1pm protest on Thursday 14th July at Dáil Éireann to highlight their situation. Below, two of the women explain a little of their stories and the threats they face if returned by Justice Minister McDowell’s fast-tracking policy. Residents Against Racism is working closely with the women and lending its full support to the protest. Spokesperson Rosanna Flynn commented: “The oppression of Nigerian women is no ‘cock and bull story’. It’s time McDowell started listening and stopped sending women and children back to persecution.” read full story / add a comment |
