We talked about our country and the way we were oppressed
The men we sent to parliament to have our wrongs redressed
"I have no faith in members now nor anything else you see
For we’re led by blooming humbugs," says The Turfman from Ardee.

The Assyrian International News Agency has produced a deeply troubling Genocide report regarding the Assyrian (Chaldean) Christians of Iraq. The report: Incipient Genocide: The Ethnic Cleansing of the Assyrians of Iraq portrays a systematic campaign of massacre and destruction of this indigenous population of Iraq.

Through intimidation, forced conversions, murder, kidnapping, beheading of Church leaders, rape, and daily threats against their security and lives, the Assyrian Christian population in Baghdad and other major cities has dwindled from a once-thriving community to almost nothing. read full story / add a comment

The working class is the creative class: the working class produces what material wealth exists in a country. And while power is not in their hands, while the working class allows power to remain in the hands of the landlords who exploit them, in the hands of the speculators, in the hands of the monopolies, in the hands of foreign and national interest groups, while armaments are in the hands of those in the service of these interest groups and not in their own hands, the working class will be forced to lead a miserable existence no matter how many crumbs those interest groups should let fall from their banquet table.

The Galway Alliance Against War is organising a “99 Red Balloon Peace Event” at Galway’s Spanish Arch at noon on Sunday 24th June, the same day as the Salthill Air Show. Last year the Galway peace group ran a similar event, which ended in controversy when the Gardaí burst most of the red balloons. At the time the authorities claimed that the warplanes would be endangered if the balloons “collided” with them. Such claims were greeted with incredulity and the Gardaí were left with what resembled egg on their faces. read full story / add a comment

The University of Dublin constituency has 11 candidates and promises to be compeditive. The electorate consists of those with University of Dublin degrees (Trinity College mainly, but also a few DIT & Froebel College). The constituency shows how elitist the Seanad University seats are. Not only do graduates get more representation, but within graduates there is distinction between NUI and TCD and all others. Ballot papers are to be returned by 11am, 24 July 2007. read full story / add a comment
