Jose was invited to Galway to address the ‘Developments Futures’ conference in National University of Ireland Galway last weekend. During Jose’s visit we had the chance to enquire into the realities of daily life in urban Cuba .In order to offer his personal perspective as an addition or an alternative to more customary sources of information some of the points discussed by Jose are reported here read full story / add a comment

Two Government Departments mandated with taking care of the well-being of our kids have been shown to display two-tier policy which favours the wealthy and ghettoises the poor. No surprises there except that both are run by experienced and rather limited women politicians; Mary Hanafin and Mary Harney. This year 2007 saw severe criticism by anti-poverty groups of both departments in the wake of published OECD reports. Ms Hanafin's department had a critical underspend which favours the private school sector and Ms Harney's Department published a 2005 report criticising cancer care without an operating link to the report in toto. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84946 read full story / add a comment
