The Irish government is currently trying to deport women and children under the threat of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), which frequently results in death. Asylum in Ireland can be sought on grounds of religious or political persecution. However the government refuse to acknowlege FGM as a political act and therefore women and children cannot apply for asylum on the basis they have suffered or will suffer FGM if deported. read full story / add a comment

This is part of the text of an article that appeared in the Meath Chronicle
on Tue, Jun 21st 2005 in an article by John O Donohoe.
(In response to this attack I sent him this letter and a copy to both the Taoiseach and the new CEO of the NRA. Needless to say I have received no response from any of them. As the mainstream media failed to cover a press release on my reply I’m including it here after the article.)

The Minister for the Environment and Local Government Dick Roche
launched a stinging attack on opponents of the M3 route at a Fianna
Fail business briefing in Athboy last week.

On his first visit to the county since giving the go-ahead for the
controversial archaeological excavations on the motorway route, which
began last week, he condemned the untruths campaigners aired against
the motorway and accused them of a lack of open-mindedness. read full story / add a comment
