Wales's blanket 20mph speed limits will be dropped by September, the nation?s new Labour Transport Secretary has said, after it was conceded they should never have been brought in. Turns out, 20 isn't plenty.

Further scientific evidence has emerged to suggest that the Earth?s atmosphere is 'saturated' with carbon dioxide, meaning that at higher levels the 'greenhouse' gas will not cause temperatures to rise.

Many thanks to Evanne for curating this art display. I must mention also the events organised for the day at the Munster Literature Centre on Douglas St. - the centre showed filmed readings from women writers who have visited the centre over the years. Many thanks too to all of the venues and people who contributed to a marvellous day of festivities for womankind. Here's hoping it will be the first of many!

Many thanks indeed to the Workers Solidarity Movement and the IWU . The yoga and diy religion seminars were my favourite parts of the day ; I hope they went some way to answering those who feel that yogic and Christian spiritualities are necessarily incompatable . Hopefully too the positive energies generated made up in some way for the cancellation of the WSM’s tribal drumming and spiral dance workshops . The good news for those who were understandably disappointed over the unfortunate mix-up which led to the last-minute cancellation is that the Presentation Sisters have offered the facilities of the convent for future workshops.
Sorry I didn’t give a mention to the exciting exposition of tapping and affirmation skills developed by Ken Parker and Rosita Kingston that were on display at Loafers during the course of the day. Rosita explained to participants at the workshop how, under the guidance of a skilled and trained consultant, these tapping skills release old and negative energy patterns using traditional acupuncture techniques and NLP (neuro linguistic programming).
I agree that this was a 'miracle' of grassroots community organising , and that is something that we should celebrate with great joy .In many ways it was a celebration of “miracle” itself . Miracle has come to be identified in the eyes of perhaps the majority as some sort of a tawdry, cheap conjurer’s trick - at the cost of the concept’s infinite and divine universality. A miracle can sometimes take place over the course of millennia, and sometimes in the course of a delightful day such as this one . The point was put eloquently to me in this way by one of the participants at the dream-catcher workshop.
“It's only by changing the experience that the majority has that we can change the experience of the minority.”
The important thing as Deirdre said is to now carry the momentum forward.
.... looks great!
thanks to everyone who got involved in the organising, all the venues who participated, all the people who helped out on the day and to everyone who brought beautiful energy to the many events and participated during the day! it was magic! :)

great to see,women's achievements,and social changes being recognised,as we know even when women were not allowed acknowlegment or status by their own merit,they were often used by their menfolk as muses,for their new ideas and inventions,which has only been acknowleged in the latter years,i did a women's studies course some years ago ,and was suprised at what i did not know on such gender issues,not just to do with recent work place rights etc,but how women and men were socialised very differently,often for simple common sense reasons of that time,but more often to affirm one
gender over another,which did not make sense and was later abolished often through pressure groups such as women's groups like these in ireland.
We still have a long way to to in order to achieve gender equality,there are a lot of problems with human trafficking of women and young girls forced into prostitiution in ireland,one of which i have come across, and this is often left unsaid,also in the workplace,when a woman gives birth even in 2010,she is ultimately doomed,i have come across many instances of this..
