She was a young mother of an eight year old boy. She was black. She ran a food market in the city centre. The report of an attack and kids leaving the scene of her attack was called in at 4.37am. Communities need to make the kids own to what they have done to the woman and her family. This is the second such violent attack on a car which was occupied. Two children were severely burnt in the Moyross area recently. Their family home has been attacked recently. Social exclusion has reached a new level of low in this instance. ... read full story / add a comment

On More 4 last night I watched a stupendous masterpiece of filmmaking. "Death of a President" a faux documentary is about the future assassination of President George W. Bush in Chicago on Oct 18, 2007 and the human and political fall out his shooting. Told in flash back with archive footage and interviews with a Bush's speechwriter, the dead of the Secret Service Death, the chief FBI investigator into the assassination, a forensic expert, witnesses and many others it has the appearance of a real documentary. ... read full story / add a comment

In the july-war on Lebanon, as well as Israel as Hizbollah have committed serious human rights viollations and warcrimes against as well the Lebanese civilian population as the Israeli civilian population. Despite the ''justifications'' by both parties, they are both subjective to International Humanitarian Law, which forbids, under all circumstances, military attacks on civilians ... read full story / add a comment

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.
