Yet again the Government has shown itself limited by the market push of the EU and the FDA with regard to choice in health care and diet. The FDA and EU had worked on an operating system, which cost millons where the net result is the coloured bar on the end of your ceral box which tells you the RDA of your food. Its the 'buy it bulk and sell it back at profit' school of thought which brought the ban on St John's Wort and the envisaged ban on Tea Tree Oil. In translation it just means that in exchange for the profit of the Multi's we get treated like kids with regard to Choice! The letters are to be directed to: Commissioner Markos Kyrianou DG Sanco, The European Commission B-1049 Brussels. Belgium. ... read full story / add a comment

Last week we all watched as the titular head of the Irish justice Department actively deported a six year old autistic boy, along with his twin sister and his mother. They were put on a commercial flight to Lagos, late at night and given enough cash for an hotel. In the last day a Mexican woman who had sought refuge for 12 months in a church and had become the voice of economic migrants and illegals in the US was picked up and deported to Tijuana, leaving behind her, her eight year old boy Saul. Elvira Arellano has vowed to continue her fight from the other side of the border. If we look at the newswire the overwhelming amount of these cases have involved women and children. No surprises there, they are slower and easier to catch. ... read full story / add a comment

The Irish Government is building a four-lane motorway only 1 km from the main site of The Hill of Tara however the whole land around the main hill is of archeological interest, historical interest and spiritual interest. In July 2007 bulldozers came in the middle of the night (possibly to avoid the protestors, speculation but I can't see any excuse for using bulldozers in the middle of the night) destroying an ancient burial ground at Baronstown in the Tara-Skryne valley. Independent archaeologists claimed this site was of national monument status! The site was entirely devastated. ... read full story / add a comment

Aer Lingus and government betrayal - Unions must act now! There was palpable anger at a meeting of Aer Lingus workers at a meeting in Shannon Airport where Aer Lingus Chief Executive, Dermot Mannion, officially announced the move from Shannon to Belfast. Workers jeered, heckled and booed Mannion during his speech and many workers walked out of the meeting when Mannion indicated that he would not answer questions from the workers. ... read full story / add a comment

The densest plume of Green Smoke has clouded the whole issue of the Lismullin site and the manner in which the Greens sacrificed the Henge site along the M3 motorway in order to get into Armani suits alongside members of Fianna Fail. ... read full story / add a comment |
