This could shake up the election a little. What kind of people work for the HSE? They think they can prevent women from travelling and that they can use the Gardai to enforce their whims. Girl seeking abortion challenges HSE Monday, 30 April 2007 17:03 A 17-year-old girl who is four months pregnant and whose child cannot survive outside the womb has gone to the High Court to challenge a decision by the Health Services Executive to stop her leaving the State for an abortion. The girl is in the care of the HSE and is challenging its decision to contact gardaí and not to let her travel for the abortion unless she presented as a suicide risk. ... read full story / add a comment

United Press International distributed the story below. The link will presumably disappear when they realise what they've reported is a mish mash of real and imagined stories. It's interesting to see what they think is believable. When Bertie shows up in Washington every year, do they have a clear idea of who he is? Do they know where Ireland is? More importantly, is our news about the rest of the world so unreliable? (In other news, the President of Scotland announced that the French elections can be cancelled if the Socialist party don't agree to support the bin tax, say sources in Baghdad...) ... read full story / add a comment

Over the last few months, most of the Irish media has been resolutely ignoring the continuing confrontations in Rossport, Co. Mayo. Meanwhile, the world has been waking up to the struggle - with the award of 125,000 euros to Willie Corduff and Al Jazeera sent a film crew to spend several days investigating the matter. Their documentary is due to be screened tonight and for the next three days on Al Jazeera English. ... read full story / add a comment

The "lustration' Law- a Joint initiative by the 'twins' which allows the Polish State to have powers to investigate ' communist-era' collusion has had its first victim. The law which provides for anyone born before the first of January 1972 to testify/sign write that they colluded with communism can result in loss of profession and security. The twins are busily repeating the Mistakes and crimes of that era Under another title. Barbara Blida committed suicide whilst the cops were in her house... ... read full story / add a comment

There’s one useful bench-mark for judging the progress of the Bolivarian revolution over the coming years – how much does the role played by Chavez himself diminish, and how rapidly? You can’t assess what’s happened in Venezuela over the last eight years realistically without recognising that Hugo Chavez has played a positive role. But an asset can become a liability, and the commanding position of Chavez could be an obstacle to the emergence of popular democracy in Venezuela. To succeed, the Bolivarian revolution will have to go beyond its dependence on Hugo Chavez. ... read full story / add a comment

Howard’s latest glib contribution, ‘Australia Rising’, delivered at the Queensland Media Club today, is yet another attempt to claw back into favour and steal attention away from the Murdoch endorsed future Prime Minister, Kevin (I can suck harder than you) Rudd. Howard’s spin-doctors have been working overtime to no avail it would seem. Following the ridiculous and desperate attempts to steal the agenda with infantile attacks on US presidential candidates, the HIV positive and most recently Howard's very revealing and ‘removed’ call for divine intervention regarding the water crisis, the “Australia Rising” speech will no doubt be greeted by the public with all the disdain it deserves! ... read full story / add a comment
