I have been trying to review Joe Higgins famous attack on Ahern and his builder friends on the RTE server but it has disappeared. Ahern's reply however is still intact. Is this an insidious form of censorship of Joe's finest moment or no? ... read full story / add a comment

The world is in a state of chasis as Sean O'Casey might say. Since the advent of George Bush to the White House every other year seems to bring forth a war or talk of war. Few commentators believe that this will stop at Iraq. Last July even Newt Gingrich was quoted as saying that "we are in the early stages of what I would describe as the third world war..."(1) Many people are now openly speculating about who is next. Syria? North Korea? Saudi Arabia? And especially Iran are the subject of fevered speculation even in the established media. This writer would just like to opt for Russia as the next ultimate target. ... read full story / add a comment

It's hard to know where to start with this. Is it that they have reduced the whole notion of Irishness to a running shoe with a leprachaun on it? Is it the weird notion of having the colours of the Republican tricolour on an ugly pair of runners? Is it the "kiss me I'm Irish?". Is it the design of the lining showing an overflowing beer mug? Is it the sheer awful, "Americaness" of it all? ... read full story / add a comment

Today, live-line listeners heard first hand from the distressed lady whose rapist was let walk free from the court after a jury had found him guilty. On the very same day, the same judge Kearney, committed another rapist to 15 years in jail followed by 10 years supervised release. Both men broke into the womens houses, both men were under the influence, both men traumatised their victims and both victims were totally innocent of any provocation. What is the difference? According to judge Kearney, One was a young man from a "good family" and the other wasn't. So what is a "good family?" ... read full story / add a comment

Seachtain na Gaeilge atá ann arís, ach fós, níl ach scrídín Gaeilge le feiceáil ar www.indymedia.ie. Seo é a leannas, mo bhronntanas fágála tar éirí as an bhfoireann eagarthóireachta (an comharchumann féin mar dheá) ar ball. B'fhéidir go mbeidh daoine eile ábalta an t-am a thabhairt chun aistriúcháin eile a dhéanamh le haghaidh na leathnacha eile am éigin arís. ... read full story / add a comment

Is it a sign of modern Ireland? Is it an attempt to get down with Ireland's Yoof? Whatever it is, the rise in party political electronic campaigning/propaganda has, at the very least, a few funny moments as a reward for those with a penchant for punishing yourself by daring to have the images burned into your memories. The wonders of the Inter Web are now being utilised to in the name of the party political cause... ... read full story / add a comment

“Although the years from 1917 to 1923 constitute one of the least neglected segments of labour’s chronology, syndicalism remains the most underestimated and misrepresented ideology ever associated with Irish trade unionism” Audio from the 2nd Dublin anarchist bookfair of Emmet O'Connors talk and the discussion that followed it. ... read full story / add a comment |
