Barry McColgan National Organiser Ógra Shinn Féin The refusal by the Equality Commission to grant the Easter Lily the proper recognition ensuring that it can be worn without discrimination in the workplace, at school and college is an outrage, and has caused major upset, hurt and anger to many Irish Republicans. The Easter Lily which is worn by Irish Republicans throughout the Easter period is a symbol of remembrance for Ireland’s patriot dead and all Easter Lily collections are used for the upkeep and maintenance of Republican graves and monuments. Is the Equality Commission by their refusal to grant equal status to the Easter Lily insinuating that Ireland’s patriot dead are less important, and do not deserve to be remembered publicly? ... read full story / add a comment

Dracula budget sucks blood from workers The Communist Party of Ireland in a statement on the budget presented by the Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan, described it as a Dracula budget, designed to suck the blood from workers so as to give a transfusion to bankers, stockbrokers, tax-avoiders, and property speculators. These parasites will all sleep well and will be celebrating the fact that their interests have been well looked after by “their government.” ... read full story / add a comment

Oxfam Ireland deplores today’s cut in Ireland's aid budget “Oxfam Ireland deplores today’s €100 million cut in Ireland's aid budget and calls for an immediate reversal of this decision. With this cut, our government's promise to the world’s poorest people rings hollow. This is the fourth cut in 10 months – demonstrating that the Irish Government sees the aid budget as a soft target. This cut will have a devastating impact on vulnerable people who are already struggling to cope with the crushing impacts of the global financial crisis, the food crisis and climate change. These are difficult times for us all but it is not the time to abandon our commitment to tackling poverty and injustice. Ireland's international standing will be damaged even further by this decision to turn its back on the world’s poorest when they need our assistance most” said Jim Clarken, Chief Executive of Oxfam Ireland. ... read full story / add a comment

Shell to Sea campaigner, Maura Harrington was released from Mountjoy Women’s Prison this morning after serving 28 days. Maura had been imprisoned for allegedly slapping a member of Garda Siochana, a charge which she denies. Maura proceeded from Mountjoy Women’s Prison to Dail Eireann, where she was accompanied into the Dail by Aengus O Snodaigh TD and Martin Ferris TD. Maura met with press outside Dail Eireann where an impromptu press conference had been called. Maura called for an end to the gas give away: “Our pension fund was given to bail out the banks, and we now stand to gain nothing from our own natural gas and oil resources. The government is putting pressure on the people of Ireland today with this new Budget, but the oil and gas companies are feeling no pressure.” ... read full story / add a comment
