Next Protest at Shannon

Many people wonder why so few protesters turn up for protests at Shannon airport. They frequently ask why does'nt someone organise something. The answer to this is, why dont you? This is your airport too, and the children killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are all of our children.
Please don't give up on this most serious of issues, please make it an issue in the comming election.
We need weekly protests at Shannon airport on a continuous basis not only up to the election at the end of May but also afterwards, so that the next Government don't take our silence as agreement with Irish Government complicity in crimes against humanity. ... read full story / add a comment

Everybody but the most myopic neo-conservative agrees that the invasion of Iraq has been an utter catastrophy.
It seems inevitable that US troops will be withdrawn, if not in the lifetime of the Bush administration, then certainly in the lifetime of the next US administration either Democrat or Republican, when a realist will certainly occupy the White House with the mandate of a US public who have awoken from the hysteria after 9/11 which brought to them to war in the first place.

But only a fool would believe Iraq will be peaceful after the US withdraw. Indeed it seems obvious that Shia and Sunnis will slaughter with impunity once the ineffectual US referee is removed from the boxing ring.That is why the UN must send peacekeeping troops to the region to prevent this catastrophe from occuring. ... read full story / add a comment

I have been contacted recently by a number of foreign workers who have been screwed over by their employers in both money and health and safety issues. None of them speak much english and none were in a union. Finding it hard to get them help through Solicitors, any advice on how to proceed would be appreciated. ... read full story / add a comment

The European Court for Human Rights today held that Poland was in violation of
the human Rights of Alicja Tysiak who had sought an abortion due to a medical
condition which had caused irreversible eye damage.

She had been refused a certificate authorising the abortion, which had left her
forced to continue with the pregnancy.

By Law Poland allows women to have abortions when their health is in danger, in the
Tysiac case the Polish State had failed to meet with it's legal obligation.

The age old-adage that nobody celebrates quite like the Irish rang true this weekend. As is common during Irish festivals a large proportion of the population chose the local pub as the most appropriate venue to celebrate our patron saint. However, reports of over two hundred arrests relating to drink driving and eight fatalities on our roads this weekend leads this writer to question why in this day and age do we still refuse to follow the rules and ask is it not time we started to celebrate a little less haphazardly and a little more sensibly? ... read full story / add a comment
