Green Party candidate for Dublin Central Patricia McKenna said that Ireland had an opportunity to play a leadership role in the fight against the continuing scandal of hunger in the world. She said it was a disgrace that the world's poorest had to wait until 2015 for the Irish government to meet its UN commitment on overseas aid. McKenna said: "Ireland's history of famine in the 19th century, coupled with our more recent experiences of poverty and emigration, give us legitimacy in providing leadership on foreign aid. But Fianna Fail and the PDs have proven themselves unable to provide that leadership. The last two governments have shamefully reneged on their aid commitments." McKenna was commenting as the government announced today that it will recognise and fund a commemoration of Ireland's Great Famine. ... read full story / add a comment

Today's UVF statement, if taken at face value can be given a qualified welcome. However, the fact that arms are to be retained and will continue to be available to its leadership remains a threat to the nationalist people against whom a relentless campaign of assassination has been carried out. ... read full story / add a comment

ALLIANCE FOR CHOICE CALLS ‘D’ CASE A TRAGEDY WAITING TO HAPPEN It was only a matter of time before another distressed young woman was forced to remind the Irish people of the disgraceful situation facing women in crisis pregnancies in this country. The HSE’s refusal to permit a young woman in their custody to terminate her non-viable pregnancy is consistent with the hypocrisy exhibited by successive Irish governments who have refused to deal with the issue. It is truly outrageous that this vulnerable young woman should be further traumatised by having to ask the courts for the right to terminate a pregnancy that can, at best, result in the birth of a child with no possibility of life. ... read full story / add a comment
