EcoSoc Presents... April 10th O’Flaherty Theatre, Nuig Galway. Addmision Free. Film Premiere and Speaking tour : Mumia Abu Jamal is an award-winning journalist who was charged on July 4th 1982 with the killing of a white police officer. He was convicted of the crime in a deeply flawed trial. The presiding judge held the record number of death row convictions, in the state. Many of these convictions were later overturned as blatant anti-black bias was found in many of his decisions. However the Mumia case was not overturned, the reopening of the case would have discredited the entire justice system. The evening’s events will include talks by a delegation of top-level African American activists. They are in Galway as part of a world tour aimed at raising awareness about the miscarriages of justice, which have placed political prisoners on death row in the USA. ... read full story / add a comment

The Govt will launch their delayed white paper on energy today. It will seek to explain how it makes economic sense to simply give away billions of euro worth of natural gas to the big energy companies. Note to Noel Dempsey: When they say the policy is good for the economy, it's supposed to be the IRISH economy, not the Norwegian one. ... read full story / add a comment

Given the almost total media blackout of Republican Sinn Féin during the Stormont election the results for its candidates were only as expected. Even the name of Republican Sinn Féin was suppressed by the Stormont régime’s electoral body and a compliant media followed suit. Our candidates were styled “Independents”, taking away our coherent strategy and sense of direction. ... read full story / add a comment
