The drop in CAO numbers was reported on the front page of last Wednesday’s Irish Times. However it only briefly mentioned that the OECD is currently working on a report of the third level sector here. What it didn’t mention though was that this was at the behest of the Higher Education Authority. Also going unreported is the fact that the OECD heaped praise in a report (following an IMF heaping similar praise) upon Blair’s top up fees in January. I wonder if the HEA and the Dept of Education are expecting an OECD change of heart, in regards to it’s future report for our colleges? ... read full story / add a comment

Early morning raids on houses in Dublin and the Holding Centre in Mosney resulted in the deportation of 60 'failed' asylum seekers to Romania and Moldova this morning. The Gards accommpanied them over to make sure they are delivered safe and sound into the hands of the Romanian police. Our Guardians of the Peace are probably preparing to make the journey back to Ireland this afternoon having aided in the forced transportation of nameless, faceless individuals who will be remembered (for about a week ) as the 'failed asylum seekers'. I can't help feeling that it is us who have failed these people. ... read full story / add a comment

"We are not seeking the overthrow or opposition to President Aristide the way the opposition is, that has bought us a great deal of invective," he explained. "On the other hand, we can hardly give marvellous grades to the government performance on a number of areas such as disarmament as we would have wanted." He did point out that President Aristide was not opposed to holding elections and has called for the opposition to use channels open to them to bring about peace in Haiti. He said that the opposition's current stance could take the country to civil war however, President Aristide could prevent this.

So it began. But the above is not really true as you probably have guessed. Aristide _must go_, and our governments must pressure him to go. NOW.

The post mayday 2004 Europe of 450,000,000 shall see established a very different balance between RC and Lutheran, Calvinist, Humanist, Anglican, and Orthodox than at any point since the collapse of the Hapsburg empire.
And in the lead-up the most powerful RC churches are quite obviously attempting to stop any increased "secularisation" which ought be inevitable.
We ought now consider the effects on certain rights issues which are very dear to the indymedia family, such as :-
"a woman's right to choose", the right to be "gay", the right to "divorce", the right to "sex education", & the right to "secularisation" of both legislature and exectuive and education. ... read full story / add a comment
