Staff not paid because of bank error SEVENTY workers at the National Aquatic Centre weren't paid their wages because of a bank error. Money due to be paid to the employees by the operators of the centre, Dublin Waterworld Ltd, failed to appear in their accounts yesterday. Angry workers contacted management who told them the problem would be sorted immediately. AIB Bank has said that the missed payments were due to a "technical error". The wages were due to be paid into the workers' accounts last night. ... read full story / add a comment

Good new for animal lovers! The Spanish Socialist Party are supporting rights for apes but it is not clear if this will include the right to vote. Perhaps they feared a new outbreak of Gorilla warfare? Started by the Simian Bolivar Brigade, no doubt. Full story at the link. pat ... read full story / add a comment

Bush has responded to the recent bombings in Egypt with a finger pounding demonstration of determined imbecility; he once again identifies “the enemy” (as singular) implying a centralised terrorist group. If the USA had any credible intelligence they would know that the ‘enemy’ is in fact many separate and spontaneously occurring cells rather than a fixed hierarchical centralised group. Misinformation could be another reason the USA is failing in Iraq! US troops are unable to locate the “enemy” to which Bush and his administration continually refers – we should not forget that Rumsfeld briefs Bush on these matters. ... read full story / add a comment

Condi Rice dropped in to Shannon on Monday, seems like she is a regular down there. from today's Daily Ireland editorial "Another controversial visitor to these shores is George Bush’s secretary of state Condoleezza Rice, who we learn is constantly popping in and out of Ireland on her way to destabilise regions around the world at her master’s behest, like a commuter through Connolly Station. There is nothing illegal about Ms Rice’s movements through Ireland, but given her current role in the Bush war machine, and the fact that the US involvement in Iraq is deemed illegal under international law, her transitory visits, conducted as they are under virtual secrecy, are distasteful to say the least. They are also extremely discourteous to the Irish sovereign nation, which is officially neutral – a state of affairs which is being progressively eroded by the inaction and toadying of the current government to more militarily and economically powerful nations." ... read full story / add a comment

Now this something worth protesting about. Maybe even an embassy deserves to be burned! This student had to pay extra for a visa because his name was Mohammed!

I cut and paste this piece from the Irish Times because I found it extremely alarming. Tax cuts fuel the capitalist system - producing a larger bourgeoise capitalists class - I don't need to mention the effect the SSIA's will have on economic growth once they reach fruition. Economic growth in this country has to be stopped - it has destroyed the power of public sector unions created material wealth at the expense of spiritual decay and attracted legions of brain washed "consumer-voters" who worship at the PD/ Fianna Fail facist capitalist altar. We need social justice not economic growth. So heres the story: A new tax-cutting policy aimed at average middle-class families was unveiled by the Progressive Democrats at the conclusion of the party's national conference in Limerick yesterday. Attacks on the Labour Party over tax, immigration and health dominated much of the conference debate. Stephen Collins and Liam Reid report ... read full story / add a comment

Graffiti artist Marc Ecko broke into a government facility where one of the Boeing 747 planes which serve as Air Force One was parked, and tagged it with graffiti. Ecko then posted video of the tagging online, along with a video statement of “why I tagged the President’s plane.” - Or so he says. As it turns out, the video is fake. ... read full story / add a comment

The use of Shannon Airport as a gateway for U.S. troops en route to the war in Iraq is an affront to the wishes of the vast majority of the Irish people who have consistently opposed the war, said the former Mayor of Sligo, Alderman Declan Bree, when he spoke at the Connolly Forums annual Easter 1916 Commemoration Ceremony in Sligo on Easter Sunday ... read full story / add a comment |
