mayo / environment Thursday May 08, 2008 - 19:38 by Mayo News Reader   image 1 image
Respected commentator Liamy MacNally wrote an interesting column on the Corrib gas scheme in The Mayo News this week.

He does a good job of getting to grips with the various strands of the conflict regarding the production pipeline, gas pressure, the history of the Glinsk proposal, and Minister Eamon Ryan's responsibilities.

He also raises the leaked minuttes of an internal Shell meeting where the fact that the refinery had been denied planning permission (in 2002) and the intriguing response of company's executives to this setback.

national / anti-capitalism Tuesday May 06, 2008 - 10:04 by Libertarian
TEEU rejects treaty over real practical concerns in relation to workers rights. The premise of their argument is the ambiguity surrounding the right to industrial action for those working in 'goods and services'.

Other concerns include the acceptance of unequal wages for migrant workers in the 'goods and services' industry. Several judgements from the European Court have fallen in favour of Employers.
