Paul Williams Crimelords

Paul Williams is an "investigative journalist" working for the Sunday World tabloid. He wrote his latest book because over the last few years in Ireland "organised crime has seen a dramatic upsurge which seems certain to continue." This alarmist book presents 21st century Ireland as some kind of 1930s Chicago. read full story / add a comment

international / eu / opinion/analysis Monday November 17, 2003 16:51 by a lonely IMC Editor
A new European constitution is now proposed that ignores civil society. This constitution consecrates neoliberalism as the official doctrine of the EU. It makes competition the basis for European community law, and indeed for all human activity. The constitution completely ignores sustainable development, gives Nato a role in European foreign policy and defence, and pushes for the militarisation of the EU. It puts the market first, marginalises the social sphere, and accelerates the destruction of public services. This draft constitution does not meet our aspirations. read full story / add a comment

dublin / bin tax / household tax / water tax / event notice Monday November 17, 2003 14:40 by Paul Kinsella
Importance: High

As many of you may know Fionn Ryder, Treasurer of the CPSU AN Post Branch is in Mountjoy Jail for the heinous crime of "protesting". He has just served the 1st week of a 3 week sentence & has been fined 1500 Euros by the High Court for fighting against Double Taxation.
Therefore a protest has been called at 7.15 this Monday evening the 17th Nov outside Mountjoy to show solidarity with those jailed & to demand their immediate release. The CPSU An Post Branch Banner will be there and we are asking for a sizeable turn-out. So if you could please come along & even bring some work-friends with you I`m sure Fionn would greatly appreciate it. read full story / add a comment
