We urgently need a holistic approach to mental health and well being in Ireland. Recent research findings of the Health Research Board revealed that of the almost 2,500 drug related deaths in the past eight years, prescription tranquillisers such as benzodiazepines were involved in more deaths than any other drug, legal or illegal. ... read full story / add a comment

There are 161 people in this country looking for a new political organisation. Sadly agressive little mobs have an ability to re-structure and re-group at enormous rates of rapidity. They will not be doing so in time for the next set of elections: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/89793 Before she left she destroyed the healthcare system , aided and abetted by centre-right party, The Greens. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/88159 http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85274 http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84946 The Sunday papers will busily eulogise on her contribution to Women's Politics, whilst it is evident that she has dealt women's health issues a cancerous body blow. She copper-fastened the most brutal econmic inequality and two-tier approach to women's health since the foundation of the state. ... read full story / add a comment

Let's be frank about it, Mary Harney's Genital Warts story is a shame crying out for a tongue wagging. As the most cultured amongst us know this year's Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology was shared by scientists in that trade who have made inroads in the virus research lark. One laureate managed to link up the HPV group of viruses with cervical cancer & before you could say "love me warts and all" most European states decided to vaccinate young wans against only 3 of the near 100 strains of HPV or "genital warts" a virus which indeed doesn't always produce warts...........it being a sly killer and all. ... read full story / add a comment

Before the lawyers get busy, let's have a look at what he said yesterday when he announced that the Fioanna Fáil/Geen Party government was setting up a talking shop to give the impression that they care what people think about the project (which will go ahead, it seems, regardless of whatever the "Corrib Gas Community Forum" says or concludes). In the Irish Independent today, the Minister is quoted as saying the following: "Mr Ryan said it would give the State greater energy security, help bring down gas prices and bring in €1.7bn in corporation taxes over the project's estimated 15-20 year lifespan." ... read full story / add a comment

A recent BBC TV programme called: "High Anxieties: The Mathematics of Chaos" documented how mathematics has come to better understand the instability in complex system, such as our economy and our climate. Our attempts to predict and control such unstable systems are unsuccessful, as illustrated by the ongoing finance and market crisis. We face much the same sort of unpredictable development with the climate, and for the same reason, a sudden, potentially irreversible, change cannot be ruled out. The unstable and unsustainable economy is now driving climate instability. Our first task is to stabilize our economy, change its purposes, move to sustainability and try to avert the worst effects of climate change. ... read full story / add a comment

A juvenile anti-war left in the US and Europe are hopeful that Obama, a left-leaning liberal Senator, will be an abrupt and positive change from the "worst President ever" George W. Bush. the story goes that the Bush policies of maintaining American economic and military dominance invited the 9/11 attacks and that the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq which have led to the deaths of thousands of American soldiers and tens of thousands of civilians have become an endless quagmire, while the social divide between rich and poor has never been greater as the US economy is in free fall. The accepted "wisdom" is the Obama will turn American and the world around. But is this true? Absolutely not. Obama is in fact Bush 2. ... read full story / add a comment

On the afternoon of Friday, November 22, 1963, the 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy, was shot and killed by a sniper as he rode in a motorcade through the streets of Dallas, Texas. That infamous weekend was the beginning of 24 hour saturation television news coverage, the moment when the post-war generation of baby boomers received their first initiation of the brutal underbelly beneath the American dream, it was the beginning of the political drama of the 1960’s that almost tore the US apart as the lid was lifted on America’s unease with its superpower status, the divide between rich and poor and the cancer of racial injustice. It is a drama that is unresolved and still poisons American society today. As a new young energetic African-American President appears to have the White House within his reach, it appears there is a chance that the festering wound opened in 1963 may finally be closed. Or maybe not. ... read full story / add a comment
