The Breast cancer unit at Mayo General Hospital is to be phased out under the HSE policy of Professor Brendan Drumm, many who travelled to the Breast cancer protest in buses and stood in the cold to highlight lack of services to the North-West will be heavily disappointed in the decision for the scheduled phase-out. Mostly they will be disappointed in the TD whom they elected who upholds the decision of the 'medical men' who know best. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85161 Ms Flynn was at that protest, she most purposefully strode across the road to listen to the women speak and then she turned her back on them to support Mary Harney and the HSE. ... read full story / add a comment

Radical health reform, in terms of creating equality and accessibility, and stopping the agenda of privatisation and for-profit medicine, is one of the great challenges facing Irish society. In this pamphlet, anarchists explain the reasons why such change is needed, give examples of important first steps in creating change, and describe the type of struggle that is necessary if we are going to win. PDFs of this pamphlet can be downloaded: A4 version - http://www.wsm.ie/attachments/mar2008/health_pamphlet_1...1.pdf A5 booklet version (for double sided printing) - http://www.wsm.ie/attachments/mar2008/health_pamphlet_a...1.pdf ... read full story / add a comment

Pedro Iñaki Pérez Beotegui (alias "Wilson") died yesterday, on the fourth anniversary of the Al Qaeda M11 bombing of Madrid, in Vitoria in the Basque Country at 60 years of age. As "Wilson" he led the group who in 1973 rented a flat on at Calle Claudio Coello 104, Madrid overlooking the road which Franco's prime minister & expected successor Admiral Luis Carrero Blanco used every morning to travel to work after mass in an armoured car. For several weeks the four members of the team, codenamed "Ogre" tunnelled under the street and then placed 80kg of explosives which they detonated on the 20th of December 1973. The car in which Carrero Blanco travelled was sent 20 metres into the air & over a five storey building in the blast. The assassination is cited in almost every account of how the Spanish state passed from an authoritiarian military dictatorship to the process of "transition" upon Franco's death without named successor to the European social democracy it is today. ... read full story / add a comment

The issue of the RTE 'Documentary'- 'Fairytale of Kathmandu', (which I must confess to have not seen) is rolling on with questions in the Seanad , with fattening well-budgetted disc-jockeys allowing hysterical women in rollers Tut! over homosexuality and the sexual activity of a splendid poet. Interesting letter in the Times today by a regular contributor to indymedia as well. I shall publish an extract in a minute. ... read full story / add a comment

Feel free to circulate this text at will. It might not mean much but if you think it could make a difference somewhere then post it there, or write your own version. Those in the most ideal positions of our national press are not investigating this issue. The people on the ground only have so much time to spread around each day. It is up to you to provide whatever you think we need, we'll accept all the help we can get. ... read full story / add a comment

Most people will be aware that Irish troops are being sent to Africa as part of an EU 'peace-keeping' mission to Chad and Central African Republic (CAR), but many will be relatively unaware of the background to the conflict and the reasons for the mission. This article looks at some of the realities behind the rhetoric and suggests some more plausible motivations for the intervention. ... read full story / add a comment

Every year we celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th. This goes back to 1910, when an international conference of socialist women decided that 'women the world over set aside a particular day each year to remember women and their struggles.' ... read full story / add a comment |
