This Easter marks the ninetieth anniversary of the 1916 rising. There is an unedifying scrabble by every politician in the state to wrap the green flag around themselves and stake their claim to be the inheritors of the tradition. ... read full story / add a comment

Irish neutrality is an area that has long been mis understood and mis-interpreted. The majority of people are very opinionated but know very little on the subject. Our Government has made decisions that will affect us without any referendum or regard for public opinion. But were we ever really neutral? The time has come for the Irish people to make a decision. ... read full story / add a comment

Now with Hamas’ electoral gains in the Palestinian elections, Israel, from a position of strength, can decide if it wants to inflict an economic blockade on the West Bank and Gaza. “It's like an appointment with a dietician. The Palestinians will get a lot thinner, but won't die,” was how top Israeli government adviser Dov Weissglas recently described how an intensification of a blockade could affect ordinary Palestinians. see David Lynch in Daily Ireland http://dailyireland.televisual.co.uk/home.tvt?_ticket=O...opp=1 ... read full story / add a comment

The PDs' announcement of a plan to move Dublin Port comes at an interesting time, when the Dublin Port Tunnel (an integral part of the expansion plan implemented by the Dublin Port Authority) is nearing completion. This article reveals that the idea to relocate the Port is not an original creation of the PDs': in fact it goes back to 1990. But why, in spite of a set of logical reasons in favour of the move, was the plan put on the back burner in favour of the construction of the multi-million Port Tunnel and minor upgrades to the port facilities? ... read full story / add a comment

Trinity College Dublin has ordered the seizure and destruction of a student magazine called Piranha! because it used what the College authorities say is “offensive language” in an article about Muslim reaction to the cartoons depicting "the Prophet Muhammad". “Irish people should know that this type of racism is not funny and in 2006 it is just not acceptable,. Satirical magazines sometimes argue that they are causing debate on issues by writing articles from a certain point of view, but in this case that argument doesn’t hold water.” Sheikh Dr Shaheed Satardien ... read full story / add a comment

"No one now disputes that stopping Slobodan Milosevic was the right thing to do,” wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, several days after the deposed Serbian strongman expired in his cell in the Hague. It’s an appealing sentiment, suggesting as it does that the man who presided over the deaths of 250,000 people in Yugoslavia in the 1990s died unsung and unmourned. In reality, however, even Slobodan Milosevic had his defenders. What is more, they are the same voices--largely on the far Left but also on the isolationist Right--who have now taken up the cause of Saddam Hussein. ... read full story / add a comment

A tongue in cheek piece that explores many paradoxical ideas associated with the theory of evolution. - That evolves into a discourse into a series of primal theological questions that still remain unanswered. Might be interesting reading for anyone into evolutionary debate and for anyone with pre-conceived notions about their right to define creation superceding the rights of others. This is my first submission from what will be my second Indybook. It is the fourth chapter - but stands on its own merits. It becomes my first submission simply because I think it's relevant to many religious and secularist debates currently raging on Indy. ... read full story / add a comment

While Greek government blamed seamen for paralyzing the country’s transport network due to their strike action last month, and forced them back to work by means of “civil mobilization”, some island residents that were supposed to be harmed by the strike, actually stood on the sailor’s side and supported their demands.

The case against the state challenging the constitutionality of the amended National monuments act 1930-2004 has been deffered for the third time. The date for judgement of this important case had been variously given, the last one was Feb 16th, the day of the launch of the Planning and Development Bill 2006,(The Strategic Infrastructure Bill)I am not a lawyer, and have not studied the details of the Carrickmines case too closely, but the locus of the case was based on the signing of the joint consent order to destroy the castle remains at Carrickmines and to remove sections of the revetted fosse. Ministerial consents for destruction of a national monument could occur after 21 days sitting of the Oireachtas, which in real terms gave the minister his unreviewable discretionary powers.The judgement was listed for tomorrow but is now deffered, it will have a direct repurcussion on the situation at the Tara Complex and other heritage sites in Ireland. No reason has been given for the deferral. The case has been put back for mention for Thursday the 9th of March. ... read full story / add a comment |
