Dublin Shell to Sea escalated its campaign against Shell’s command centre at Corrib house on Leeson Street with a blockade of all three entrances. After two hours only four Shell employees had been pushed through the blockade by the large force of Gardai on hand. The action was called to "highlight the incredible theft of our natural resources that totals 51 billion euros in the Corrib field alone" while "each winter, up to 3,000 people die prematurely every year from fuel poverty". Upwards of 45 protesters had assembled with Shell being protected by around 30 Gardai and a number of private security. ... read full story / add a comment

I came back today from work, I passed through Town. I turned on the radio to listen to Drive Time by Mary Wilson. I could not believe what I was hearing - Beverely Flynn speaking about the formation of a new Government and her shopping basket for the people of Mayo. Is there anybody out there when any tiny bit of morality out there? ... read full story / add a comment

Now that the Adams/McGuinness axis have crashed publicly at the election, their strategic incompetence and general political disconnection have been exposed to all especially the potential republican left activist base here in Dublin, with many seeing for the first time how out of touch these guys are. ... read full story / add a comment

I'm a Canadian citizen,born and raised in Canada,who qualified from medical school in Ireland in 2004. I have been working in Ireland as a doctor for the last two years and have done my best to offer the best medical care to citizens in Ireland. After being in Canada for holidays,I had to fly back to Ireland,due to the fact that I had a job offer in an Irish hospital starting in July. My flight had transiting through Heathrow,London,England,but unfortunately,I was denied entry to Ireland by Irish immigration officials,and thus i was deported back to Canada later that evening.I am in Canada at the moment, quite disillusioned and disheartened. ... read full story / add a comment

For many people who do not read Private Eye - it is just the magazine that is always being sued. This is because the only time the public ever hears about it is when the newspapers report that a libel writ has been issued or an out of court settlement has been reached. The impression is therefore widespread that Private Eye is constantly being bombarded with writs and at any moment it would go out of business as a result (1979: Goldenballs book Richard Ingrams)............ ... read full story / add a comment

Almost 210 years ago on the 23rd of May 1798 the largest popular republican rising in Irish history began. Across the island tens of thousands fought under the banner of the United Irishmen. Hundreds of thousands had been sworn into the organization in the preceding four years. On four occasions revolutionary France sent thousands of troops to aid the rebellion, the United Irishmen had built contacts with revolutionary republicans across the globe, including the USA, France, Hamburg and England. The response of the British state to the rise of the United Irishmen was a brutal counterinsurgency campaign that stirred up sectarian conflict on the island. 1798 thus came to shape much of the political struggles that took place in the following centuries. ... read full story / add a comment

To Precede this 'Opinon and Analysis' on the Constitutional crisis of May and June 2006 and right up to this election, I want to state that the statute which came about as a result of emergency legislation equally mitigates against the 12-17 year old pre-consent boy; but the sub-title of the piece is focussed on the creation of an under-class. The collapse of the 1935 legislation which came about as a direct result of the Laffoy Judgement on the 'A' case led to the introduction of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences) Bill 2006, (amended 2007), this included the insertion of the unconstitutional section 5 into the statute, which still stands , without repeal and without re-visit. ... read full story / add a comment

This is just a short Opinon and analysis, because details are sketchy and the Irish Times has the story. COSC was set up rather rapidly by the Dept of Justice in the run-up to the General election. It involved a reply to the burgeoning problem of violence against women and was set up under the aegis of 'Equality'- there seems to be a problem with the issue , as last night a press release from combined Violence against women campaigns including Amnesty, The Rape Crisis Network, the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre and other concerned Non-Governmental Organisations asked for it's remit to be published and for it's work to be stopped. ... read full story / add a comment

"The Primary focus of a small piece like this would generally be accompanied
by the two images which I had considered putting up, but everyone who is regarding
the debasement of their culture in the face of Globalisation would have an
image in mind that fulfills the picture My focus in usually on Gender and Debasement" http://www.indymedia.org.uk/2007/05/370522.html ... read full story / add a comment |
