Sinn Féin to hold urgent discussions on Racist Attacks

South Belfast Sinn Féin Assembly member Alex Maskey along with party colleague Stiofan Long will hold urgent discussions with representatives of the ethnic minority communities in Belfast tomorrow to discuss ongoing racist attacks. The meeting will take place with the Multi Cultural Resource Centre, 9 Lower Crescent, Belfast at 1pm.

Speaking today Mr Maskey said:

" Those of us in political leadership have a duty to stand with ethnic minority communities in the face of what is an ongoing campaign being waged by loyalist gangs against them.

" Tomorrow's meeting is part of an ongoing engagement between Sinn Féin and the representatives of the ethnic minority communities. We will be listening to their concerns and together trying to work out practical steps to bring about an end to the current campaign of racist attacks, particularly in South Belfast." read full story / add a comment

John O Neill, a Finglas community worker, is standing as a socialist candidate in the Finglas Ward, Dublin City, in the upcoming local elections. With the three local T.D.’s handing their council seats over to relatively unknown newcomers, there will be a unique opportunity for him to make a breakthrough as a candidate standing on a clear platform of class politics. read full story / add a comment

Airfield is a working farm in Dundrum. I spent the first 18 years of my life growing up beside it and I am concerned about its future and the community's right to have access to it as a rare amenity in the area.

Rumours are that property developers have other ideas though. One example of this has been Gannon Developments and John Finnegan buying some of the farm’s land already, where they built the car park for a Luas station and several high rise appartment blocks. read full story / add a comment
galway / politics / elections / event notice Sunday January 11, 2004 20:08 by John Cunningham
Much has been said about the technical shortcomings of electronic voting, but less attention has been paid to the social aspects of the issue. In this talk Andrew O Baoill will draw on theorists such as Ivan Illich and Jurgen Habermas to critique the technophilic drive towards electronic voting, and highlight some of the damage it is likely to cause to the political process.

Topic: Electronic voting - the social aspects
Date/Time: Tuesday 13th January, 2004. 7pm.
Venue: NUI, Galway. Room IT 125G. (IT Building, at the back of the Arts/Science concourse). read full story / add a comment

I believe that popular resistance to the imposition of the neo-liberal
economic agenda is vital- whether one lives in Ireland or Bolivia. However,
it is often easier to see this agenda being imposed in the developing world
than it is to recognise it as an increasingly central dimension of the
‘European Project’. read full story / add a comment
