'Restorative Justice - Healing the Effects of Crime' Written by Jim Consedine 'The Celtic Tradition: Repairing the Damage' It then reads: Fivefold are Crimes * the crime of the hand by wounding or stealing * the crime of the foot, by kicking or moving to do evil deeds * the crime of the tongue, by satire, Slander and False Witness *crime of the mouth, by eating stolen things *the crime of the eye, by watching while an evil deed is taking place Brehon Law existed in Ireland until the final Tudor conquest in 1500. The Irish had their own form of Criminal Justice System. The Brehon laws was based on its own form of restorative justice. These laws were replaced with the harsh retributive system of the coloniser!

In Tuesday's 'An Irishman's Diary' in the Irish Times, Kevin Myers wrote of single parents milking the welfare system and repeatedly used the term 'bastards' for their children. The use of an outdated perjoritive term for children who in times past were termed to have been 'born out of wedlock,' shows what an insensitive bastard the Irish Times has in its midst. ... read full story / add a comment

( The rules governing the election of the next Pope are determined by the Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis (UDG), written by John Paul II and promulgated on February 22 of 1996. ) ( After the death of Pope John Paul II, the next Pope will be chosen by the Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church. "Confirming therefore the norm of the current Code of Canon Law (cf. Canon 349), which reflects the millennial practice of the Church, I once more affirm that the College of electors of the Supreme Pontiff is composed solely of the Cardinals of Holy Roman Church".) ... read full story / add a comment

Apologies for the length of this, but I feel, given the serious and worsening situation in the health service that the following motion below should be forwarded as an Emergency motion re the health service emergency for Union AGMs (Annual General Meetings) and ADCs (Annual Delegate Conferences), most of which are happening around this time, so that we, the workers, who do have the clout, can really up the ante on this government to properly fund our health service, instead of wasting money on such things as exclusive golf courses, and increased military spending!

The United Nations took another step in its long road to irrelevancy on January 31 with a report announcing that the Sudanese government was not conducting a genocidal campaign in the Darfur region. It agreed that there were indeed mass killings of civilians, torture, rape, pillaging, possible war crimes and perhaps crimes against humanity, but there was no evidence of genocide. ... read full story / add a comment
