Here is an excerpt from a report on a Hands Off the People of Iran public meeting held in London immediately after the May Day march. HOPI activist Torab Saleth introduced the discussion. You may access the full article at the link. Hands Off the People of Iran will have its Dublin launch on Thursday 10 May at 7.30 pm in the Teachers Club, Parnell Square. The initiative to set up this important campaign was taken by Iranian political activists and organisations who oppose the Islamic regime in Iran and also stand against any imperialist sanctions or attack. It has links with students, womens' organisations and workers struggles in Iran who are fighting for their rights there and are also against US or UN intervention. Irish Supporters include: Senator David Norris; Aengus O'Snodaigh TD; Tony Gregory TD; Des Derwin; DCTU (Pers Cap); Joe Moore CWU (Pers Cap); Patrick Nulty Labour Youth. read full story / add a comment

Just wanted to tip people off that DLR council are handing over all out standing waste collection accounts to debt collectors. The council have come under pressure from those campaigning against car clamping and as result it has emerged that the council has never attempted to collect any outstanding debts. Householders are sent out several bills each year for their waste collection with many realising that no attempt has ever been made to collect these monies resulting in most householders getting a free collection for years yet the council continues to bemoan the fact that funds are low. It has been reported locally that the service will be privatised and no doubt they want to collect would could be as much as 7 million before going private. Debt collectors using heavy handed tactics is certainly not the way forward. It was also decided not to announce this until after the election. read full story / add a comment

The Federal Minister of Employment and Workplace Relations (big) Joe Hockey was forced this week to draw his leader’s attention to the oppressive reality facing average working Australians. Crushing debt, loss of penalty rates and other entitlements have forced many Australian families to the wall.

The May and June AGM period of Shell Annual meetings in London and Amsterdam should be the specific annual period where the focus should be on giving the Irsh public factual and visual information on the record of Shell worldwide as it struggles to find its feet in Irish waters.This should be the goal in every activity during this period so that people come to know once again why there is opposition to Shell in Mayo, and Ireland is in union with other Shell- suffering comminities who will be making their voices heard at this time. At the very least lots of placard information and messages. read full story / add a comment |
