In delivering a resounding eulogy to his former mentor and “boss”, the late Taoiseach Charles J. Haughey, the current Taoiseach Bertie Ahern showed true compassion and tenacity in speaking warmly about CJ Haughey, but the question must be asked: Has Bertie Ahern and his top henchmen lost the plot? ... read full story / add a comment

I am asking the question because of the outright inadequacy of mental health services and integrationist services to cater for the needs of people with health problems particularly mental health problems..... I recall an Irish Penal Reform Trust meeting.....a Forensic Psychiatrist and his wise words about mental health definititions. The categories of say bipolar equate the same in the outside world and within the hospital implying that a lot of what is termed Psychiatric are in fact social problems. I have written an 18 page essay dealing with this topic over two centuries. Anxiety can take you by the throat if you suffer from what is named episodic........Listen to your patients and fight for the funding to provide an adequate medical service and perhaps have less people walking the streets and begging............I have heard that if you have mental health problems in the US, you are 4 times more likely to be shot by the police.... Where is the Barr Tribunal Report......What is holding it up? Why was John Carty show. Where were the social services and the doctors....... The Morris Tribunal has reported. Let's clearn up the act and hear what Mr. Justice Barr has to say..... Michelle ... read full story / add a comment

America, they refer to the Underclass. Medical Services in Ireland are harnassed by the divide - you pay or you don't.......therein is the obscurity as to how to have hope and get the best treatment..... I note Patient's Together are mobilising to challenge Professor Drumm and the HSE scandal of overcrowding in Accident and Emergency. I am hearing too much about suicide. I am encountering a degree of medical arrogance that I can no longer accept. I wonder have people experienced similar problems. We are not hearing about all the suicides.....i.e. those involving the Luas for example or the out of the ordinary number in Finglas at the moment. What is the system saying......Are they confining us to no Hope and the undersclass category. ... read full story / add a comment

Encouraging students to get involved in politics, representation, activism and campaigning is a funny business. In an ideal, perfect situation, you wouldn't have a division between encourager and encouragee; no-one should need to drum up interest among others or to have a position of 'managing' student involvement. But we don't live in that world, and it's perfectly usual to see students' unions, political 'youth wings', campaign groups and so on trying to encourage 'others' to get involved. ... read full story / add a comment

"Surveillance and social-classification are the mode through which one person engages with another. Log onto MySpace, check your friends' profiles, leave a comment or two, move people around your "Top 8" - this might be a typical session on the site. We will not stop posting personal information as long as these data holds social and interactive value.

On Nov 19, 2005, a roadside bomb hit a patrol convoy of Marine humvees in Haditha, killing Lance Corporal Miguel Terrazas. The twelve men in 1st Squad led by Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, proceeded to storm nearby buildings throwing grenades into rooms and gunning down the occupants, innocent Iraqi men, women and children in cold blood. What caused these men to kill innocents? Was it the heat of battle? No, I would suggest, it is directly linked to the ethos of the elite US Marine Corps. ... read full story / add a comment

A young Irish man is flying to Arizona today (June 15) to begin an amazingly difficult journey of recovery from arthritus that's had him on crutches for almost a decade. His ordeal is being documented, and the film, 'Walking', will completed in 2008. Nothing is more incredible, moving and noteworthy than a person's determination to show the world that he will never give up, will share every experience and- most of all-can recover one hundred per cent when the odds are against him. ... read full story / add a comment

The manouverings of the SWP in Scotland are a significant factor in the general chaos within the Scottish Socialist Party. The manner in which this party are currently operating in Scotland should act as a warning to those on the Left in Ireland who believe that that party has anything to offer the struggle for socialism here. ... read full story / add a comment |
