I find European Commission working too slow in this issue; anti-discrimination groups and unions don't seem to me to be taking it seriously enough, the general public is uninformed. At best, people show not much interest.
This is part of a complaint about the implementation of the Habitual Residence Condition by the Irish Government. Let me know what you think. read full story / add a comment

This story describes how after World War II, millions of tonnes of nerve gas weapons were dumped at sea off the US. Apparently now it is beginning to wash up and much of the containers would be corroded by now.

Also worth noting, but NOT covered in the news report is that there are millions of tonnes of munitions (incendinary bombs -phosphorous ) dumped in the Irish Sea between the UK and the Isle of Man and a few years back, some of it washed up off Wicklow and Wexford.

The munitions were supposed to be dumped in some relatively deep trench there, but an investigation that took to people who worked on the ships say they often didn't bother go out all the rate and the stuff got dumped in shallow water too.
This probably applies in the US case too -below read full story / add a comment
