PRESS RELEASE Left alone to die 19ú May/Bealtaine 2010 Not Now, Not Again. Not another Irish Republican, how soon we’ve forgotten. 29 years ago ten Irish Republican Prisoners of War gave their lives on hunger strike for Political Status, for Ireland. Each was scarified on the altar of British imperialism draped with the Butchers Apron. The administration in Occupied Ireland (DUP, SDLP and Provisional Sinn Féin) supported by their masters in Westminster are now hoping to freshen their blood soaked apron with another Irish Republican. His name, Liam Hannaway. ... read full story / add a comment

Joe Higgins, Socialist Party MEP from Ireland and member of the Committee for a Workers´ International initiated a meeting with fellow MEPs with the intention of countering both, the nationalist slanders of the international media and European leaders against the Greek workers and youth; as well as to counter the illusion that the huge bail-out package of €750 billion which was agreed by the European Commission, the euro zone member states and the IMF represents the beginning of a solid recovery. ... read full story / add a comment

A Shell to Sea protest took place this afternoon at the 'North-West Development Forum', held in Belmullet Co Mayo. While previous protests have highlighted that the narrow terms of reference of the forum exclude real debate on the Corrib Gas Project, today’s message was one of solidarity with imprisoned campaigners Pat O’Donnell and Niall Harnett. This was the first such forum since An Bord Pleanála deemed that over half of Shell’s proposed Corrib Gas Pipeline was unacceptable on health and safety grounds in February. ... read full story / add a comment

Together with over 300 cities from around the world, Legalise Cannabis Ireland are proud to announce that the fourth annual Legalise Cannabis Day is to take place in both Dublin and Cork this Saturday the 8th of May. Through experience in this anonymous subculture we have repeatedly found that the vast majority of cannabis users in Ireland can consume cannabis responsibly. These are typically decent and similarly unharmful people who should be able to consume cannabis without being criminalised or having fear of oppression for doing so. Due to the nature of prohibition, our culture is largely unfarmiliar in the general public's eye. Despite this, we will march in protest of the criminalisation of cannabis users and we call for full utilisation of the cannabis plant for its medical, industrial, recreational and agricultural values. ... read full story / add a comment |
