national / worker & community struggles and protests / news report Tuesday December 13, 2005 00:47 by Mik W
On December 9th 2005 Irish people from all walks of life who care about people been treated with decency and honesty in the workplace took to the streets to protest Irish ferries attempt to introduce slavery into Ireland. The protest was more akin to a people marching toward justice rather then the carnival like anti war demos of recent years. The march in Dublin was my first of view of how Irelands labour movement looks when mobilized and it looks good. Imagine what we could achive if the leaders of that movement woke up and fought for the people they are supposed to fight for? What follows is my account of the march. I am a memeber of the IBOA however the opinions given in the article are entirly my own. read full story / add a comment

Tá sé i gceist ag an Ord Buí mórshiúil ó Shráid Uí Chonaill go Teach Laighin a eagrú. Beidh grúpaí fé leith páirteach ann fé scáth "Love Ulster". Tá an chuma ar an scéal go bhfuil cead faighte ag na daoine atá á eagrú é seo a dhéanamh. Tá sé i gceist acu é a dhéanamh ar Sathairn éicint ach níl dáta cinnte go fóill. Tá sé i gceist acu freasúracht i gcoinne Éire Aontaithe a léiriu. Ní féidir linn géilleadh do dhream chomh binibeach suarach fealltach sin. Níl sé de chead againn lieann don dream seo a rogha nithe a dhéanamh. Iarraim agóidíocht mhór chun cur i gcoinne an tíorántacht seo.

Friends of the Earth has welcomed the outcome of the UN climate talks as an historic step forward. The Montreal Action Plan (MAP) was concluded despite a last minute intervention from Russia which almost resulted in deadlock.

Friends of the Earth Director in Ireland, Oisin Coghlan said:

"Despite Russia's last minute jitters, the Montreal meeting has made a historic agreement which will strengthen global resolve with legally-binding targets to take action to tackle climate change under the Kyoto Protocol. It has sent a clear signal that the future lies in cleaner and more sustainable technologies and is good news for people and the planet." read full story / add a comment

Imperial Hotel, Eyre Sq., 8 pm. All welcome

One of the most controversial environmental issues of recent years has concerned incineration. Proponents –including the government– have argued that it is a vital element in modern waste management, while opponents contend that it both dangerous and unnecessary.

In Galway, provision for incineration in the Connacht Waste Plan of 1999 led to the emergence of considerable local opposition which was effectively marshalled by the campaigning group, Galway for a Safe Environment (GSE). read full story / add a comment
