On Easter Monday, Nollaig delivered this speech in Mineola, NY - a hotbed of rightist oriented folks. That didn't stop him though, he rips into the US government's insane war policy. As a US anti-war activist, it was great to hear him address a group of reactionaries, telling them what they didn't want to hear! read full story / add a comment

We in Dublin got advance warning on the SOA/CIA/IMF (7) coup which has just taken place in Venezuela from Greg Palast during his recent public lecture in NCAD. He had spoken to Chavez just before the lecture and he was saying to Palast at the time that he wouldn’t last a month. Well he lasted a little longer. But just a little. Just long enough for the peaking of the Israel/Palestine conflict to provide something to occupy and divert the attention of the World’s press while a cynical anti-democratic coup to took place with minimal and mindbendingly uncritical reporting on the part of the World’s mainstream media. read full story / add a comment

On Thursday April 11th, An Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern visited Limerick to open the new sports Arena Complex at the University of Limerick. He was meeting and greeting the usual suspects and putting on his pre-election smile for the camera. What the camera did not show was the fact that THREE SEPARATE PROTESTS were going on within yards of the stage. Handlers were overheard telling RTE to use close up shots of the podium and not to show the banners and gagged students. read full story / add a comment

The use of sniffer dogs has been introduced into the jail. Sniffer dogs, controlled by prisons officers that make up the 'search team' are now being used to assess visitors. Before the visit can take place the visitor has to go through the humiliating experience of being 'sniffed' for drugs by what we are told is a specially trained dog. read full story / add a comment

The anti-sweatshop campaign No Sweat (in the UK) has launched an international appeal for the indonesian union federation FNPBI (Indonesian National Front for Workers' Struggle) whose leader, 29 year old Dita Sari, recently turned down a $50,000 "human rights award" from Reebok because "it would be hypocritical". We are now trying to raise the sum as the union can ill-afford to do without it. Please read and distribute this appeal and if you can write well in other languages, help us translate it! read full story / add a comment
