Peter Hitchens is right, says Joanna Gray: labelling a child as 'dyslexic' only means they give up trying to read. We think we're helping by giving them 'support' but all we've done is undermined their confidence.

Now that it looks likely barring some last minute change of heart that the DCTU will vote down the ATGWU motion caling for a march and work stoppage during working hours at their meeting tomorrow night it's time to really up the ante on these lazy pro-partnership parasites starting a picket/lobby of these DCTU delegates outside Liberty Hall, Eden Quay tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) night at 7.30pm. Also no matter who's organising it I'm appealing to everyone to support "The Nationwide Day Of Action Against The Bin Tax And The Jailings" on Friday, November 21st. Remember Jim Larkin's tried and trusted motto "An attack on one is an attack on all!" read full story / add a comment

"The leaders of the various leftist groups have decided not to participate in a site they regard as beneath their dignity. They know that they will be attacked by ireful posters in disrespectful and probably vulgar and abusive terms. The rank and file of the various vanguard revolutionary parties are obviously discouraged from going to have a look-see. Those who do speak-up for their parties usually (though not always) sign on anonymously." read full story / add a comment

All party co-operation led to the interuption of a scheme to re-zone 200 acres for housing in Donabate. Cllr. Gerry McGuire (Lab), tabled a number of motions trying to avert this further planning disgrace.
Brainchild of Cllr. Ann Devitt(FG), this re-zoning would apply vast pressure to Donabate's groaning infrastructure and further destroy this beautiful peninsula.
More detailed report to come. To witness this sad turn of events for yourself, attend the next relevent sitting of Fingall County Council, when the debate will continue. When date decided it will be posted on this site.

Democracy begins at home.
Reclaim Fingall County Council.
Fight for good planning. read full story / add a comment
