Advocacy is an "in" term these days. When we advocate are we really pursuing the best interests of those on whose behalf we are advocating? Or are we only trying to placate and tell people what they want to hear? Then, too, there are often a lot of stock cribs which advocates may parrot easily off in the hope of gaining kudos or easy respect from the judges - the administrators and the public. ... read full story / add a comment

Peak Oil Theory has been around since the 1970s. Some think we have already reached 'peak oil', others think it will happen with the next twenty-five years. The theory argues that when we reach 'peak oil' the rate at which we extract oil from the earth (measured in millions of barrels per day) will reach a maximum and thereafter will start to drop. As the rate at which we use oil is currently close to the rate at which we extract it, the point of peak oil will coincide or be closely followed by the world consuming more oil than it is producing. As oil reserves are very limited, within months there simply will not be enough oil available. ... read full story / add a comment

The nurses’ work-to-rule and their threat to escalate the action next week has been met with an outraged onslaught by Mary Harney and Bertie Ahern. The sight of a group of workers standing up and demanding their rights has become so unusual that it seems as if the government cannot believe the temerity of the nurses in doing just that. ... read full story / add a comment

The banner and link to the I.N.O site are included here so that people can go take a look see. I am not a nurse, nor do I represent a union anymore- but I have done and I know when a media campaign is being played out. In this instance Mary Harney is attempting to use media to isolate the Nurses unions and it does not wash. Last week she went live on the RTE Nine O clock news and said that the maternity hospital problem in Cork was "about money": Hogwash- The Maternity hospital problem was about the failure of both the state and the HSE to think of the patient- its all down to numbers and figures. http://www.ino.ie ... read full story / add a comment

demand that the Dail is not dissolved until it ends the atrocity of our complicity in mass murder in Iraq. There is an irrefutable case that our TDs are aware that we, members of the UN, remained silent while half a million Iraqis kids were murdered by UN Sanctions up to 1998 That continued at 5,000 a month under 5y/o kids until March 2003. We then supported the illegal war of aggression - "the greatest crime of all" according to the Nuremberg Tribunal. ... read full story / add a comment |
