In the last fifteen to twenty years, two new phenomena have finally reached Ireland –Immigration and alongside it - Racism. This is not to say that we Irish never had our prejudices before the ‘blacks’ arrived, back then we were quite happy directing our bigotry and ignorance towards travellers, gays, Jews and Protestants. ... read full story / add a comment

Since the highly publicised case in 1993 of the disappearance of Annie Mc Carrick there has been little done in the way of Gardai Resources to tackle the issue of finding the women that have gone missing along the East Coast of Ireland. There has been little done in the way of resourcing to combat the violence which has led to the death of two women, and the disappearance of one Meg Walsh in Waterford. No-one has been brought to Justice for the death Of Sophie Toscan du Plantier. Where are the Department of Justice resources going? ... read full story / add a comment

I attempt to identify two distinct streams in the emerging Irish opposition groups, then I discuss some topics that seem to divide them, and finally I explore the issue of Immigration, which unfortunately has the potential to divide these groups for years to come. ... read full story / add a comment

The attempted construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline and onshore refinery in Rossport by the consortium of Shell, Statoil and Marathon has been resisted since 2001. Through the constant vigilance of the locals and activists in the solidarity camp, any attempts to access the site to work have been blockaded. If you've been living under a rock for the last while here's a rundown of the situation, the safety of the Rossport community will be at risk from contamination of their drinking water, environmental pollution, articulated vehicles on tiny bog roads and last, but not least, the potentially explosive pipe less than 80m from some of their houses! ... read full story / add a comment

'The silent majority of locals SUPPORT Shell's gas refinery and believe that it will be SAFE. What's more, they've been victims of a TERRIFYING campaign of bullying and intimidation - much of it led by Sinn Fein THUGS. Got that everyone? That's SUPPORT SHELL, SAFE. SINN FEIN TERRIFYING THUGS. Palmer has carefully crafted a version of events to suggest that it is the multi-billion dollar international oil interests, the huge police force in the area and the business- led political establishment who are the beleagured and innocent victims in the situation.

He’s a crook and we know it well before now! Why waste more time? I’ll tell you why I say that it is unimportant what Bertie took in any single scoop, because while our political wasters are up there in the Dáil, supposedly discussing why we should or should not allow a crook at our helm, the Irish state is blazing into Rossport along with an international crime syndicate and are stealing our resources with the aid of our so called protectors – an Garda Siochána. We have oil and gas off our coast, which is the envy of all of Europe and our political elite are cover up its theft right under our very noses. ... read full story / add a comment

Minister Mc Dowell , not content with the role of Tanaiste and the over-long data retention of all Irish citizens e-mail/phone/fax records for a period of three years introduced on July 4th 2006 two bills, known as the Privacy and defamation bills. The choice of date was ironic given that it ties in with the whole US/UK terror alert and concommitent reduction in civil liberties which we have fought for and taken for granted through the last couple of centuries. It has been criticised by Journalists all over Europe and In Ireland, but that is just grist to the mill. The elite in fortress europe will protect their rights and reduce yours and those of your children. http://mediaforum.ie/?p=52 Has a short analysis of the Privacy Bill. http://www.justice.ie : Has three or four pdf downloads which comprise the junket rationalisation of Privacy/Defamation, but no-one is fooled. http://www.digitalrights.ie/category/defamation (for information on the other half of the package) ... read full story / add a comment |
