Next Tuesday 27th June in the year of our Lord 2006, UCD’s esteemed Craic Society will be hosting a fundraiser to help pay the (substantial) fines of our battle-weary believers, victims of a witch-hunt by Der College Authorities in September of last year. After organising a fun-filled outdoor piss-up on campus, these Soldiers of Craic were victimised and fined by the college authorities, who seem hell-bent on forcing us to drink overpriced warm pints of Fosters for the rest of our lives instead of being at one with nature and Buckfast. Please come and support the struggle against the neo-liberal profit-driven upper echelons of UCD . read full story / add a comment

Yesterday Minister for (Justice) Michael Mc Dowell TD asked Minister for Health, Mary Harney TD to "step aside" as party leader, before the next general election. The possibilities are endless in terms of cliche. One that springs directly to mind is an old Irish favourite: "The Shit before The Shovel". read full story / add a comment

Sarcasm and RTE Tonight's RTE Nine O'clock news reported that President Bush wants to close the Guantanamo detention centre. According to an RTE report Bush 'understands' European concerns over the imprisonment of terror suspects in Guantanamo. Anne Doyle commented that the President had "gone out of his way" to assure EU leaders about treatment in Guantanamo. RTE correspondent, Sean Whelan, stated that President Bush "would like to close" the facility, to which the correspondent followed with the question, "when would he like to close" the facility? There seems to be one seemingly obvious question RTE failed to ask. read full story / add a comment

So I read in the Times this column inch about Bertie Ahern meeting a delegation from Iraq in Dublin organised by the IRI, that is all there no other mention of it I can find, ok so diplomatic meetings rarely get much sattention but this is more then that this is 8 MPs from Iraq's newly elected government.

We the Republican POWs call on all nationalist, Republican people of Ireland and abroad to support us in our upcoming protest for better conditions and the restoration of political status. In 2003 we embarked on a protest for segregation, this battle was won and segregation was introduced in September of that year. At that time the Brits asked for a period of transition and conditions would then improve. These terms were accepted reluctantly by Republicans. read full story / add a comment

There is a complete lack of parental control and responsibility for their children in this country. Young girls and young boys totally unequipped for adult life are enagaging in sexual intercourse at increasingly young ages. This is a direct result from imagery on television, the internet, print media and most importantly from the behaviour of their adult peers. Every day I recoil in disgust as I see young girls barely finished playing with their dolls dressed in skimpy clothing with rouged lip and make up and overhear them openly using the most profane language and engaging in sexually explicit conversation or blatant heavy petting in public. Young boys are supposed to fulfill a predatory hard drinking macho stereotype. read full story / add a comment
