It was that level of formality,” the spokesman said. “If he was there Gen Myers would have dropped in, it was no firmer than that. But the minister is visiting troops in the Midlands and has been delayed.” Mr O’Dea is visiting army units in Longford and Mullingar as part of his nationwide tour around all barracks. A number of troops from both the barracks are serving with the United Nations peace keeping force in Liberia." ... read full story / add a comment

The 2 big issues today are Poverty and Global Warming - both caused ultimately by Western consumerism (Mandela: poverty is not natural - it is man-made. Bush: Our American way of life is not negotiable.) But if the rest of the world must catch up to American levels of consuming there would be a total environmental disaster - so how can we persuade American - and European - consumers to cut their ever-increasing greed? What if we just shared out equally over the whole world everything we already own or produce - would Western lifestyles really fall to a terribly low level? Details and statistics of such an equally-shared world for each of us. ... read full story / add a comment

Recent media reports show that Hill of Tara is clearly visible from the site of the M3 Tara Interchange. It also appears that heavy mechanical diggers are being used in the excavation of the Tara valley. Many in Meath are concerned that the visual impact of this M3 Interchange at Tara may have a detrimental effect on the appeal of Tara, both as a heritage site and a tourist venue. Time and time again, the crucial question of whether the M3 and the Blundelstown Tara Interchange would be visible from the hill of Tara has been raised. And as many times, both the government and the NRA have stated categorically that the M3 would not be visible from the hill. However, it is now entirely evident that this massive interchange at the foot of the Hill will indeed be visible from Tara, and this now poses grave questions. ... read full story / add a comment

Demands of Shell to Sea Campaign We call on the developers, authorities and state to: * Stop all illegal development in Rossport * To cease all operations in Erris, onshore and offshore, pending a full hearing of the issues * Clean the gas and hydrocarbons at sea, * Vindicate the Rossport 5 and expunge their criminalisation by Shell * Renegotiate the overall deal for the Irish people * Make those responsible for the project accountable, including calling for the resignation of Noel Dempsey, Dermot Ahern and Frank Fahey who have presided over this scandalous affair. ... read full story / add a comment

Between November 2004 and April 2005 I in a personal capacity wrote to pharmaceutical companies in the 26 county state who manufacture what are known as atypical 'anti-psychotic' drugs in the 'treatment' of 'mental illness'. I was motivated to do this by what I believe is a failure on the part of these companies to fully inform psychiatric patients in relation to the dangers of such drugs. This article on how pharmaceutical companies play down the dangers of neuroleptic drugs appeared in two Irish newspapers. One journalist who viewed it invited a psychiatrist friend of his to comment on it. These comments by Siobhan Barry of the Irish Psychiatric Association as well as my own counter response also are published here. ... read full story / add a comment

I just want other peoples opinions, my local mace store have promotions, e.g. two for a reduced price or whatever, but these goods are charged at full regular rate at check out. Most people don't complain so i guess it goes smoothly and profitably. To my shock this morning I complained, having being overcharged on at least one item each weekend for three weeks now. I bought surf breeze 1.1 kg, marked 2.69 on shelf, but 3.80 at till, complained after going back and checking, received a refund for the difference, but , to my amazement, that was it, no changes were made to till system, so the next person who picks up a box will be charged 3.80. In a time when many people don't check receipts for small items, it is these little, ongoing rip offs that frustrate me. So please let me know if this policy is being practiced elsewhere, or just here. ... read full story / add a comment

The disengagement plan: The previous and present Governments of Israel knew for fact that they do not want to keep Gaza and the Palestinians in Gaza under their control. The question was always when, how and to what price would Israel withdraw from Gaza. In the Post-Oslo era there was for Israel no reason why it shouldn't have withdrawn from Gaza and evacuate the settlements. The Atmosphere was ready, the détente was at its peak and Rabin and Peres (and Arafat) won the Peace Nobel price. The question in deed is: Why didn't Israel between 1995 and September 2000 withdraw from Gaza and evacuated the settlements? The Palestinians can then wait till "they turn Finns"? ... read full story / add a comment

On the 6th of july the EU parliament rejected software patents, another step in the struggle for ideas & information. It wasn't reported (by me) as it that time the G8 seemed more important, and the Irish MEP votes on this issue which effects all europeans and all users of indymedia were already long decided on "party political ground". In the end 14 votes were cast in favour, 648 against and 18 abstentions. ... read full story / add a comment

Dear friends below I give details of some more of the various initiatives that Street Seen will be involved in, in the months ahead. Also I give an updated version for Indymedia on an article I had written a while back – more especially in relation to the last few days of great weather. It talks about my increasing awareness and indeed growing love for nature and the environment. In youth such things I had not only not taken notice of, but if I had of, I believe I may not have spoken about it given the immediacy of war and the association with ‘manly’ peers of those times. Indeed the immediate area of my childhood, that of the Turf, Murph, the Falls and surrounding area, is now the very same area that is bringing my senses alive through that appreciation of the environment and nature. Firstly though a few upcoming initiatives of Street Seen. ... read full story / add a comment
