FF, FG, Labour, ex-PDs, and other shades of establishement opinion are putting themselves forward as 'independents' in the upcoming election to Seanad �ireann. The mask of 'disability campaigner' or 'human rights advocate' is unfortunately the last refuge of some of them. This is most obvious on the university constituencies. Here I have outlined the party loyalties of some of them. ... read full story / add a comment

Against the background of an increasing probability of a military intervention on the part of the United States of America and, which is the more probable scenario, the United Nations, in Lybia, we wish to state in clear terms our rejection of any US, European or UN invasion. ... read full story / add a comment
