In this month's 'Irish Art Review', which is available online (it's a tenner a pop in the Newsagents) the editor discusses the current exhibition in Collin's Barracks and asks the question: 'Should not the Irish State give up to 50% of the pieces back, because they are colonial plunder' ? Its brief and I did not bring my copy, thus I cannot quote him verbatim.. The Natural History Museum remains closed since the staircase collapse last year, with rumblings in the media that the Senate will be expanded in there and kids are therefore limited in free access to their heritage, learning and study places. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/76354 ... read full story / add a comment

The March/April issue of the magazine History Ireland contains a major article on Irish anarchists in the late nineteenth-century that should be of interest to today's anarchist activists. The title is '"Practical anarchists, we": social revolutionaries in Dublin, 1885-7' In Ireland and Britain in the 1880s, the Fenians occupied the demonic role of 'terrorists' in the recesses of the bourgeois mind, and less attention was paid to terrorists of the radical left. Historian Fintan Lane relates how anarchists, though scarcely noticed, were nevertheless active in Ireland and argued openly for social revolution, though not for 'individual terror'. History Ireland is on sale in Eason's across the country. ... read full story / add a comment

In this article, Peter Tatchell deals with the latest lies and homophobic outbursts from George Galloway. In this case Galloway is supporting the Iranian Regiome even when it comes to the execution of gays using any lies to cover for them. George Galloway, the Respect MP, has made allegations that border on paedophile smears and play to homophobic prejudice. He claims the boyfriend of gay Iranian asylum seeker Mehdi Kazemi was executed (1) for "committing sex crimes against young men". The insinuation of such a claim is that Mehdi's boyfriend was a rapist or a child sex abuser and also stigmatises Mehdi as he was his partner. He will suffer this stigma when he is returned to the UK and could face personal hostility from people who believe these allegations . Galloway made his astonishing allegation on Channel Five's The Wright Stuff. He has been asked to explain the source of his claim, but has so far failed to do so. ... read full story / add a comment

The I.T Newswire is full of Information on the attendance of Mary Hanafin TD at the INTO Conference. headlines emerging discuss the secularisation of the Primary School System (only the religious would put up with the degradation that seems obvious to most parents..) and the ongoing 'reform'of the sector. I though that our 'Multi-culturalism' was strictly of White-eastern Europeans and bi-lingual Polish community, given the fight that many Nigerian parents have had to put up to have their kids access health and education services. Ms Hanafin did not dissapoint, her speech is accessible to download at:- http://www.into.ie/ROI , it is currently unavailable on http://www.education.ie (Department of Education and Science) ... read full story / add a comment |
