People often ask Vegans- why is a vegetarian diet not sufficient if one wants to eliminate food that causes suffering to animals from their diet? Years ago Vegetarianism was a new concept but now it is mainstream. We have now progressed to a new level with Veganism as people embrace the concept in increasing numbers. The vast range of Soya and plant based products in Irish supermarkets accommodating diets free of animal products is increasing rapidly. ... read full story / add a comment

Jarvey's in Killarney have had recent success after a row with the National Park and Wildlife services over them refusing to get dung-catchers attached to their horses, which saw them being prevented from entering the park. Following a strike and picket which began on Tuesday morning the 14/07/2009, the Jarvey's received an interim injunction after a high court hearing on Friday last, which has suspended the wearing of the dung-catchers and has seen the Jarvey's returning to work as normal. ... read full story / add a comment

Bottom-up rights are those rights excluded from UN human rights instruments because they were considered incompatible with neo liberalism and globalization. This pits a 'we are all in this together' establishment against the independent peoples e.g. small business, and the most disadvantaged. The discontented need to struggle to have these rights, which entail an ethical globalization, included in domestic and international human rights law. ... read full story / add a comment

How low can they go? Well the lowest I've found is a cutback of €2.6 million in funding to local groups which are fighting against the ravages of drug addiction. Just what you would expect from a smug upper middle class toadie of the ruling class like Colm McCarthy. Colm McCarthy has declared War on the ordinary people of Ireland. The only suitable response is to declare War right back on him and his masters. ... read full story / add a comment

In recent years climate change has loomed large in the public imagination. Scientifically, there is little doubt that it is a real threat to the future of human civilisation. The greenhouse effect has been known about since the early 19th century - gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour trap heat from the sun, causing the climate of the planet to heat up over time. Probably the most spectacular known example of this effect in action is on Venus.As recently as the 1960s it was thought that Venus might have a climate that could support life. However, in 1962, a US space probe measured its surface temperature at 425°C. Billions of years ago, it had a climate similar to that of earth today – but a runaway greenhouse effect turned it into a ball of fire. ... read full story / add a comment

Hands off People Of Iran sends solidarity greetings to protestors in Iran on 9th July. This day is the 10th anniversary of 18 Tir – when the Iranian state, under President Khatami violently put down a protest by students. The protest was initially against the suppression of a popular newspaper. Students were attacked in their university dormitories , as they were ransacked and set on fire by state forces. The reaction to the attack was overwhelming, with mass demonstrations taking place. The students became very radicalised and openly opposed the regime. Ayatollah Ali Khameneh’I ordered the movement to be crushed and President Khatami approved this decision. ... read full story / add a comment

Electricians go on strike in response to a two year employer strike on pay. Since 2007 (roaring property boom) employers have been witholding pay that is legally due to electricians. They are now looking for a 10 per cent pay cut. Employers and unions came to an agreement, the employers broke the agreement, they now refuse to negotiate and are looking for a collective 10 per cent pay cut. ... read full story / add a comment

A boat full of humanitarian supplies to the Gaza Strip was seized in international waters by the Israeli army in recent days, with 21 crew (two Irish included) being detained by Israeli authorities. Yet another blatant breach of international law, our Government and others in the West have turned a blind eye. Israeli robbery of Palestinian land through settlement continues, along with their "security" wall, boxing in the West Bank while simultaneously taking large chunks out of it. They have recently stopped letting schoolbooks in to the Gaza Strip, adding to the long list of basic items unavailable to it's long suffering population. It is time for us in the West to wake up to the suffering of our friends in Palestine, and to stand up to the bully that is Israel. It is morally reprehensible to continue to watch such horror take place any longer. ... read full story / add a comment

Despite the brutality of Iran’s Islamic regime, protests continued in Tehran and many other cities two weeks after the upsurge began. They are on a much smaller scale than the first days, but it is extremely significant and inspiring that many youth and other people are determined to persist even in the face of gunfire, beatings, arrest and possibly torture. They are expressions of a broader popular rage that will not be easily quenched. ... read full story / add a comment

This analysis of the recent Red Cross Gaza report into the 22 day Israeli war (Jan '09) will be split into two parts. Only by understanding the extenuating circumstances that 1.4-1.5 million imprisoned people were subject too prior to the 22 day onslaught, can we fully comprehend it’s aftermath.
