This Friday, 17 June 2005, in Dail Eireann there is a special session scheduled for 'Statements on the Morris Tribunal' from 10:30am - 13:30pm.

To further expose this scandal and the politico/legal Cover-Up now in full swing, the extended McBrearty family from Donegal (the targets of the vicious frame-up on Murder charges by Gardai) will be attending this hearing and they'll have a few words for people both inside and outside Leinster House.

So come along to learn what the media refuses to touch about this unfolding scandal, and lend your voice and presence on this historic occasion! We assemble at 10am at the Kildare Street entrance to Dail Eireann.

Also please spread the word out to anybody who can contribute and blitz the Media to cover this. The attached flyer is being distroed today in Dublin, if a few people would like to urgently lend a hand it would be much appreciated. Sorry for the short notice + Thanks, BP ... read full story / add a comment

In a brutal escalation of repression, the Pakistani government ordered widescale arrests of telecommunication workers fighting to defeat privatisation. Police raided homes and arrested family members when they could not find telecommunication workers they were looking for. This is similar tactics to that used by the US army who take relatives as hostages when they raid homes in Iraq. ... read full story / add a comment

Irish Republicans have throughout our history opposed all imperialist wars of conquest, from the Boer War fought by the British in South Africa at the turn of the last century, the First World War right up to the Gulf war in 1991 when we were the first to protest at the landing of US warplanes at Shannon airport. ... read full story / add a comment

Students Against Poverty would like to thank all those who give their time and help over the last 5 weeks. With little recources and even less experinece we have managed to fill a 45 seater bus, of school students, to attend the G8 protests in July. From the start all decisions were democraticaly decided. A series of debates and discusions were held where members had a chance to speak about issues such as war, age discrimanation and anti_racism. Through a range of events, we raised over £2000. This meant that a bus seat only cost £15 which was essential as school students are generally skint. A big thank you to all those who donated. Unfortunately, due to exams, SAP will be diappaering for the next 2 months(hence the rush in fillin the bus).
So we hope to see you all at the G8!
