Try to overcome your revulsion/boredom/indifference or whatever it is that so many of you apparently well-meaining activists and Indymedia readers do when it comes to this issue, judging from the the general level of interest that these reports usually get. Five thousand comments on the disctinction between the SP and the SWP, about four on rights for people with disability. Pardon my bluffness but how about cutting us all some slack in this corner, eh? Maybe even give us some of your time and effort? ... read full story / add a comment

Given that tens of thousands of Irish people were shipped into slavery, isnt it strange that Ireland has no day remembering them? I dont know of a single monument to the victims of slavery in Ireland. Perhaps someone can let me know if they know of one. As far as I know, even the Republican Movement fails to commemorate the tens of thousands of innocents sold into slavery from Ireland. Many of the women and children into sex slavery. ... read full story / add a comment

Vincent Browne's strange affliction with trying to find jusitifications for the likes of Charles Haughey and Bertie Ahern seems now to have infected recently appointed columnist Chekov Feeney - also a member of the Indymedia.ie editorial collective. Feeney's Newspaper Watch column has, while throwing a welcome spotlight on many examples of media bias and seeming self-censorship -and is apparently unique in Ireland in its objective - sometimes failed to deliver truly well aimed punches at obviously deserving targets. ... read full story / add a comment

All I feel at this time is about the adage ' walking in the moccasins' of another. Do many of us really remember the 1980's? I do. I emigrated with my then husband to England (we hadn't the qualifications for the US. Both he and I worked in the building industry, for large companies - M.F.N. (liquiddation) but one of the big 9 in the 1970's. Then the Gallagher's Abbey. It was rough one day to see all staff lose their jobs as the construction marketed faltered further in the early 1980's. Land banks existed but planning permission for sites in places like Yellow Walls in Portmarnock were at log jam as Governments changed. I am forever grateful to people like Michael O'Leary and their foresight for Ryanair. It meant we had left Ireland but it was possible to come home and frequently. We brought new friends home. This would not have been possible in the Monopolised Aer Lingus challenged by O'Leary. ... read full story / add a comment

In another vainglorious attempt to misuse electronics to exclude, the newly-erected Tánaiste intends to make it an offence of the State to be a non-EU national without good reason to be in Ireland. Non-EU nationals, including one might assume North Americans, New Zealanders and those sexy Brazilian dancers - you know, good migrants? - will be asked to prove that they have good reason to be shopping in Carroll's O'Connell Bridge. In other words, the burden of proof that one is not a ‘foreign national’ lies on the individual. ... read full story / add a comment

I wonder am I alone in thinking, when presented with a collective picture of career politicians smiling on the steps of the Dail, that the elected members of that house might have difficulty finding their arse with both hands.

The need for an international standing army to prevent horrendous massacres is no more clearly demonstrated than in the case of Sudan's cursed Darfur zone, which is in free fall. The risk to civilians there is greater now than at any time since the conflict first erupted. The African Union peacekeepers' mandate expires at the end of this month, and Sudan has rejected entry of a UN peacekeeping force. Aid agencies - the lifeline for 2.5 million people - are threatening to pull out as a result of the direct targeting of humanitarians, leaving the already devastated civilian population further exposed and at risk. Sudan plans instead to send in a large number of its own troops. Given the government's record, it seems quite likely that - with international observers out of the way - Khartoum can get on with the business of completing the genocide that it already under way. ... read full story / add a comment

" Since last week the Labour Party has consistently argued for the closing off of this loophole. For that reason when the Government was persuaded to deal with it this week, last night we facilitated it being taken, which is the reason for us not voting against the order of business.However , we have not seen the bill and there will be little time to look at the issue. I urge the Tanaiste to cause the Minister for Justice , Equality and Law reform to make it available as soon as possible. ... read full story / add a comment

Five years on since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the wars that precipitated from that act are now discussed in frustratingly candid terms. While the thousands of American deaths are fittingly remembered as avoidable tragedies, the military responses, claiming the lives of many more innocent people, are described as 'mistakes' and 'necessities'. ... read full story / add a comment |
