What is worse is the element of trust that is breached. Why do people do such things to other people. Is the motive purely money or is there a hidden inadequacy and jealousy with them. Has anyone ever been conned? Years ago when there was less access to media and press coverage there was a kind of human connection network that kept people informed and warned. Joe Duffy is the Man who keeps the tradition of the past, out there and discussed but we need more. read full story / add a comment

"In a very real sense, Ruairí Ó Bradáigh can . . . be said to be the last, or one of the last Irish Republicans. Studies of the Provisional movement to date have invariably focused more on the Northerners and the role of people like Gerry Adams and Martin McGuinness. But an understanding of them is not possible without appreciating where they came from and from what tradition they have broken. Ruairí Ó Bradáigh is that tradition and that is why this account of his life and politics is so important." —from the foreword by Ed Moloney, author of A Secret History of the IRA read full story / add a comment

'RTE DO NOT report surveys of Iraqi civilian casualties as fact. They do however quote only selected figures from selective surveys. One would be forgiven for thinking that because they only report one figure, this is figure they have most confidence in. Strangely enough, this is one of the lowest estimates, by a huge margin. Give or take 260,000?' - toirtap blog read full story / add a comment

The Active Retirement Ireland (ARI) agm yesterday in Dublin Castle saw hundreds of angry older people letting a FF Minister know what they think of the private sectors control of the nursing home sector. Is it not time that opposition political parties started to make this a serious issue? According to the ARI the state is obliged by law to provide public nursing home places, however that is not the reality on the ground. When you are old and need to go to a nursing home, an expensive private bed is your only option. The ARI organsiation seems to be the only one making this argument?

Here's a story about a Irish couple detained for a week on the back of a disgruntled employers claims In January 2002, Murray and Gould asked Northrop Grumman if they could change jobs because the school owner did not pay them and demanded they clean his home. After they complained, the school owner called Northrop Grumman and said the pair had never worked for him and Murray was getting his pilot's license so he could open a business in Yemen, the appeals court said. They were deemed to no longer have legal residency status under the work program. The school owner also claimed that the couple opposed U.S. policy and believed that as long as the United States supports Israel terrorism will only worsen, the court said. Northrop Grumman notified the Department of State and U.S. immigration authorities of the claims. Days later, the government took the couple into custody and began deportation proceedings. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny...wyork read full story / add a comment

It has been brought to the attention of the Galway Alliance Against War that the local Fianna Fail cumann is due to hold its Easter Commemoration after 12 o’clock mass at Liam Mellowes statue. Our commemoration - the main speaker at which will be the brother of a Guantanamo internee - begins at 12.30pm at the same statue. This means the two commemorations will probably coincide. read full story / add a comment

Such is the logic of Blairs Britain: an anti war protester went to the Cenotaph and read out the names of British soldiers killed in Iraq. For this he was arrested, charged with holding an illegal demonstration and now has been convicted and fined.
