As activists we all need to be aware of how the far the state may wish to go in their pursuit of 'Justice' Maybe we need to look further into our rights as citizens and our right to freely communicate with each other.. Is Big Brother watching.. who Knows.. They aint gonna tell us! Clarification on phone records access sought The Data Protection Commissioner has said the law should be clarified to ensure that gardaí can only access individual phone records when they are investigating serious crime. Speaking at the launch of his office's annual report, Commissioner Billy Hawkes said amendments to legislation brought in last year allow gardaí investigating all crimes to access telephone records. However, he said this should be confined to investigations into serious crime only, and welcomed an EU directive which would require the Government to change the law accordingly. Mr Hawkes also called for a checklist to be created which gardaí would have to work through before being given access to telephone records. He said an investigation by his office had found that hundreds of individual call records were being accessed by gardaí each month. continues: http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/0411/dataprotection.html ... read full story / add a comment

The Active Retirement Ireland (ARI) agm yesterday in Dublin Castle saw hundreds of angry older people letting a FF Minister know what they think of the private sectors control of the nursing home sector. Is it not time that opposition political parties started to make this a serious issue? According to the ARI the state is obliged by law to provide public nursing home places, however that is not the reality on the ground. When you are old and need to go to a nursing home, an expensive private bed is your only option. The ARI organsiation seems to be the only one making this argument?

Here's a story about a Irish couple detained for a week on the back of a disgruntled employers claims In January 2002, Murray and Gould asked Northrop Grumman if they could change jobs because the school owner did not pay them and demanded they clean his home. After they complained, the school owner called Northrop Grumman and said the pair had never worked for him and Murray was getting his pilot's license so he could open a business in Yemen, the appeals court said. They were deemed to no longer have legal residency status under the work program. The school owner also claimed that the couple opposed U.S. policy and believed that as long as the United States supports Israel terrorism will only worsen, the court said. Northrop Grumman notified the Department of State and U.S. immigration authorities of the claims. Days later, the government took the couple into custody and began deportation proceedings. http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork/ny-bc-ny...wyork ... read full story / add a comment |
