'Restorative Justice - Healing the Effects of Crime'
Written by Jim Consedine
'The Celtic Tradition: Repairing the Damage'
It then reads: Fivefold are Crimes
* the crime of the hand by wounding or stealing
* the crime of the foot, by kicking or moving to do evil deeds
* the crime of the tongue, by satire, Slander and False Witness
*crime of the mouth, by eating stolen things
*the crime of the eye, by watching while an evil deed is taking place

Brehon Law existed in Ireland until the final Tudor conquest in 1500.
The Irish had their own form of Criminal Justice System. The Brehon laws was based on its own form of restorative justice. These laws were replaced with the harsh retributive system of the coloniser!

Now......From Behon to a faltering Irish Peace Process.....Can we learn anything? read full story / add a comment

Barney Hartnett is a Socialist. He is also an active member of his union. In Ballymun on the north side of Dublin he has been editor of the local community paper "The Ballymun Echo" for over 22 years. Barney is also a member of the Retired Workers Committee of Congress.
In the April election of last year he was only one vote short of being elected to the Executive Committee. Barney will fight for a fair deal for all senior citizens. His record proves he is the man for the job.
Pensioners who are dissatisfied with the recent budget increase of a miserable €12 per week should vote for Barney Hartnett for the Executive Committee.
If you are a trade unionist, community activist and senior citizen support Barney in the important election.

5.00 pm SATURDAY 12 FEBRUARY 2005
Raytheon, Branch Road, Derry

FEIC first dug its memorial grave dedicated to the people of Fallujah on Friday 19 November. Since then the grave has been desecrated and reinstated dozens of times. Despite Raytheon’s attempts to erase this memorial, we continue at this site of struggle to remember the nameless and numberless dead murdered with Raytheon’s product in Iraq. This Saturday, we will dig the grave again.

It is worth reflecting on the words of one US Army soldier in Fallujah, -- Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne, commander of 1st Battalion of the 5th Marine Regiment. Interviewed by Robert D. Kaplan, The Atlantic Monthly (published in July/August 2004 as Five Days in Fallujah), he said:

"The bad guys only have what God gave them; we have what Raytheon gave us."

Please bring flowers, candles and white ribbons. read full story / add a comment
