things we might have missed.

if you check the wonderful database of indymedia ireland for five days this year

you will get a blank.
"nothing happened". The site went off line, and far into the future, students will be forgiven were they to think that these days were uncommonly boring in the lives of early 21st century Irish cyberboys and cybergirls alike.

But things did happen:

Two "important prisoners" were released.
Joe and Clare.
They were the first "reds" to be imprisoned in the Irish majority state this century. This of course compounded Ireland's international image as a third rate crypto fascist country.

The ISF occured, lots of eager and nice people met up and had a long shindig chat chat.

The IRA (the one we mostly grew up with that the northern unionists prefer to call PIRA) made a lengthy statement on "arms decomissioning".
This was not their first statement on such matters but generally Mr P.O'Neill that aged writer has been forthright and availed of the opportunities offered with today's open publishing system.

*** I _note_ that P. O'Neill has not published his last communiqué.

Mr Chomsky was selected as "pie" target number one for the year 2004, coming ahead of Monibiot, Moore and Adams.
You must express an opinion on this, and if you know anything about Chomsky's heart let us know, it would be a terrible thing if that half-wit stoner in Barcelona put the cream cake onto the face of the Father of Universal Grammar and then the man dropped dead from a coronary.

So- if you have info on the last few days-

ADD IT NOW IN THE COMMENTS.
(& that really goes for the ISF heads and of course Mr O Neill).
