UN mandate to turf US military out of Shannon

national / anti-war / imperialism Monday June 18, 2007 - 23:44 by Coilín ÓhAiseadha

While journalists writing on the front page of the Irish Times have reproduced the Department of Foreign Affairs' official line that the US military traffic at Shannon is taking place under a mandate from the United Nations, a close look at UN Security Council Resolution 1483 shows that there is more plausibly a mandate for Ireland to opt out of the US war of occupation in Iraq, because this has created conditions of persistent instability and insecurity there.

Tá stádas na Gaeilge i dtuaisceart na hÉireann níos fearr anois ná a bhí ariamh ó aimsir an chríochdheighilt.

The working class is the creative class: the working class produces what material wealth exists in a country. And while power is not in their hands, while the working class allows power to remain in the hands of the landlords who exploit them, in the hands of the speculators, in the hands of the monopolies, in the hands of foreign and national interest groups, while armaments are in the hands of those in the service of these interest groups and not in their own hands, the working class will be forced to lead a miserable existence no matter how many crumbs those interest groups should let fall from their banquet table.

The University of Dublin constituency has 11 candidates and promises to be compeditive. The electorate consists of those with University of Dublin degrees (Trinity College mainly, but also a few DIT & Froebel College). The constituency shows how elitist the Seanad University seats are. Not only do graduates get more representation, but within graduates there is distinction between NUI and TCD and all others.

is youth the key to the spiralling increase in anti-social behaviour or has the youth of today just taken example from their peers and enhanced the problem to a modern 21st century process in destabilising society. Does the problem go back further than what we are prepared to accept and have we now come to a stage where we need to re-evaluate the way we cherish freedom and human rights.
We see AIDS as being a threat to human existence. We now see ASB as a threat to the stability of our society and subsequently human existence in itself. ... read full story / add a comment

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
