Maureen Kenny Has died, a true lover of education and books, many will have a memory of the Labyrinthe bookshop, the smell of the books and the friendly family who ran it. You could find yourself tripping into Mr Kenny's office and getting a lecture on dropping out of college, work; and where the bestest poetry books were kept. Many of us miss the old shop with the low ceilings and the carpetted stairs and Maureen always had a smile- did not matter if you were the Laureate or a small writer, everyone was united by love of knowledge and books. ... read full story / add a comment

Bundoran has the most scenic views of the Donegal Bay, Dartry Mountains of Leitrim and a coastline accessible to everyone. We preserved our old historical buildings and respected our community atmosphere. In the last twelve years Bundoran Town Council has allowed Planning Corruption erode the very HEART of Bundoran and now the greedy developers and certain Corrupt Councillors want to destroy our Foreshore not or enhancement but to built apartment blocks on the most beautiful coastline in Ireland. In the last twelve years the population of Bundoran has decreased now these greedy developers want to destroy Bundorans Sealife. ... read full story / add a comment

This is a brief article on our position as Latin American Solidarity Centre regarding the "free trade" agreements of the EU with Asia, Africa and Latin America, disguised as Economic Partnership Agreements and Association Agreements. On the series of events organised for Latin America Week (April 7th-12th) we will bring some speakers from Italy, Holland, Colombia and Ecuador who will speak on the impact of such agreements over basic services such as water. To find more information on Latin America Week, you can go to our website www.lasc.ie or contact us directly. ... read full story / add a comment

Last year, the EU Constitution was defeated in referendums in France and the Netherlands. Europe’s governments quickly got together and rewrote the constitution as an incredibly complicated list of amendments to existing treaties. Together these amendments make up the “Treaty of Lisbon.” Valery Giscard d’Estaing, the president of the Convention on the Future of Europe which did much of the ground work in drafting the constitution, has concluded that “the difference between the original Constitution and the present Lisbon Treaty is one of approach, rather than content”. ... read full story / add a comment

The old adage ‘You can fool some people some times, but you can’t fool all the people all the time’ comes to mind when summing up Provisional Sinn Fein’s ‘grass roots’. At what point will they stop being fooled and maybe step back and question the honesty and integrity of their party leader Gerry Adams ? Having once been a supporter and admirer of Adams I now find it difficult to listen to him. He was interviewed by Ursula Halligan on TV3’s The Political Party on Sunday, March 2nd . I have not read any comments regarding this interview on any of the usual sites where this might be debated or discussed. The first part of the interview was taken up with how Sinn Fein got it so wrong in the 26 counties Elections and what direction they where now taking etc etc. Ursula then went on to ask Adams………… ... read full story / add a comment

Two intellectually lazy revisionist views have gained ground in the popular Irish historical mythology in relation to the Easter Rising. 1) That the Easter Rising was a a deliberate romantic blood sacrifice by rebels who knew in advance that they would fail. 2) That the Easter Rising was a terrorist act. ... read full story / add a comment

In Athens, election of officials was not practiced because it was thought to favor the wealthy and powerful. Giving decision-making power to elected officials was thought to take away the power of the people and effectively make the state an oligarchy, that is government by an elite group ... read full story / add a comment

It seems to me that we have well and truly returned to the days of Michael Davitt and the Land League. Where huge numbers of people are being bled dry by a small group of Landlords. And what do these latterday Landlords do with their ill gotten gains? Like the Landlords of old, they take the money out of the country. The Landlord class in Ireland have bought overseas land and buildings to the sum of 1.2 trillion euro - that right 1200 billion euro. ... read full story / add a comment

Army Sergeant Ronn Cantu is serving his second tour in Iraq. He's also a member of Iraq Veterans Against the War. Last year, he rose to prominence as a rare outspoken troop against the war and occupation when he spoke live from his base in Iraq, to America's radical online radio network Democracy Now. Then he described how he was scared out of his mind during the interview for expressing opinions the military machine simply did not want the public to hear. This time round, in an interview for another radical media outlet, we chatted over Myspace, about how he is utilizing the internet to organise against the occupation from its front line, just as the Winter Soldier events were getting closer. ... read full story / add a comment

We've been here before. In 1992 Bill Clinton who never served in the military or fired a shot in anger challenged President George H W Bush, who was one of the youngest US fighter pilots of World War 2 and who was shot down and rescued at a sea while others who participated in the same attack were captured and cannibalised by the Japanese. In 1996 Bill Clinton challenged Bob Dole, a veteran of the the WW2 Italian campaign who was wounded by a German machine gun and waited for nine agonising months to be evacuated to an American hospital leaving his right arm paralyzed preventing him from shaking hands, a serious disability for a politician. ... read full story / add a comment

News coming from the Meath conference of AGSI says that the Gardai want murder trial televised for General Public viewing, supposedly that would up the clothing allowances of the judge's bench and provide a cannon fodder of violent and disturbing viewing for the General Public. Maybe they will provide interactive buttons for people to get involved in the legal process. The risible reason for this suggestion is to show 'us' the great people and public viewers what Gardai must suffer in the courts. They seem well enough appraised of the rights of the individual and one of those is the presumption of innocence. ... read full story / add a comment

Firstly, I do not intend to exhonerate or belittle human rights abuses by the PRC in this piece. However, I feel it appropriate to provoke the thoughts of the readership & our horizontal media community on what exactly are the main issues & ethical social principles at the root of the recent violence in Tibet & other provinces of the PRC with ethnic Tibetan communities. ... read full story / add a comment |
