A protest of Sligo and Letrim women converged on the Dail this early afternoon, with Balloons, a pipe-band and attendant politicians (from all parties except PD's). The Junior Minister for Health (FF) came out and addressed the crowd, some of who were tired and upset. After a battery of 'political suits' someone had the bright idea to put the women on the platform and the stories came out. They have said that they will no longer travel to access treatment which they have worked and paid for. They said they do not require a two tier health system and that indeed they have a centre of excellence already. They spoke of leaving home and family with query breast cancer and having to access bus, train or taxi to be there for their kids. Largely they said 'enough'. ... read full story / add a comment

Addiction, Fear, Shyness, drug take and why, those who stand back absorbed in shyness, those who will not participate at school - the student who hates reading out, the student hates going to school, the student who could be helped if only someone knew..........In England people had mentors....and personally I think this is a great idea. Shy children often hide deep dark talents which are lost in a curriculum that is in fact destroying their life changes. ... read full story / add a comment

Lieutenant General Dermot Earley the gung-ho ex-Ranger and commander of the Irish military must be licking his lips! The Minister for Foreign Affairs says he expects a Government decision to be made on Tuesday over the deployment of up to four hundred Irish troops in eastern Chad. Dermot Ahern has just returned from a four day visit to Sudan and Chad, during which he met with Government leaders as well as aid workers and local people. If the Government gives its go-ahead for the mission the Dáil will then have to give its approval. A gung-ho military bored with guarding armoured money vans wants to get its hands dirty in a nasty imperialist war in Africa. ... read full story / add a comment

Tony Blair had self-nominated David Miliband to take up the cudgels of office in the wake of his departure from office, but apart from creating a few little ripples the whole idea was a non-starter for Blair and for Miliband. He got placed, instead in Britain's Foreign Office and last night he began to use his office to 'make speeches' , which are both unbelievably crass and inopportune. They involve beligerence against an already pissed off Putin and a diplomatic word to 'Keep our promises to Turkey', meanwhile in Turkey, a political party with connections to the PKK is being banned. We all know what that means in Ireland.. Reductio ad Absurdum.:Reduce debate, achieve political consensus and sell off assets to benefit the wealthy. ... read full story / add a comment
