Fifty Ways to Leave the European Convention on Human Rights Fri Apr 19, 2024 17:28 | Dr David McGrogan
Rishi Sunak has once again been dropping hints about leaving the European Convention on Human Rights. This is not credible, says Dr David McGrogan: such a feat would require a Government far more serious than this one.

Woke Activists Need to Read Their David Hume Fri Apr 19, 2024 11:16 | Dr James Allan
The great Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume would have some things to teach today's woke activists, says Prof James Allan: about a mind-independent reality that has no truck with claims of 'my truth'.

Farmers? Biggest Problems are Green Ideologues, not Climate Change Fri Apr 19, 2024 09:00 | Ben Pile
It's been a wet winter and this is bad news for farmers, says Ben Pile. But with agricultural yields increasing sharply over recent decades, there's no reason to link it to climate change or start catostrophising about it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5We need more than just a march where we all listen to speeches and go home. We should take the example form Egypt and Spain and set-up a permanent "camp" in the heart of Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick etc. We can start with Dublin and go from there depending on the size.
I would suggest that there would be a roster so that people can live their lives as well.
The protest on 16th July needs to be the starting point for this and we should announce the "camp" before the protest.
To start with we can set it up on the island in O’Connell Street and see where it goes from there.
Anyway hope other people agree.
Good point, Kieran! That's what we need.
Will there be any blocks (e.g. anarchist block) or will it be general protest?
Community Cuts
Come out and join the Enough Campaign on Saturday 16th July. Meet us in Parnell Square for 2pm. Become a movement of grassroots warriors who refuse to allow our communities lose their hope or resistance.
Our Communities have been targeted for over three years now. The National Community Development Programme a unique programme in Europe was dismantled in December 2010. Fourteen Community Development Projects closed in January 2009. The Community Workers Co OP and many other Networks funding was taking away recently 2011. Sharp cuts to Community Projects have meant numbers of highly skilled people have been let go.
All these sharp cuts have had the capacity to rip the hearts out of very venerable communities in all kind of ways. Our people are hurting and are being driven into despair. For many, the Celtic Tiger was a mangey cat. They were not part of the big party that has led them to having to pay for the cleaning up of this cruel mess.
Choices are being made and these choices are not the ones that shape a fair and just society. The Axe is being taken out again in the coming December budget. When the Government cuts we all bleed, but some more then others. We have got to collectively defend our communities and our sector. It took us over twenty years to build our critical infrastructure it will only take twenty seconds to wipe it out. We must fight back, what is happening is unfair, unjust and unnecessary.
Come out and join the Enough Campaign on Saturday 16th July. Meet us in Parnell Square for 2pm. Become a movement of grassroots warriors who refuse to allow our communities lose their hope or resistance.

I'm very disappointed that Paula Geraghty hasn't put any photos of the march up on this site yet . Hopefully she will do soon , she was certainly there along the route of the march her faithful camera in hand, displaying all her usual verve and vitality . Then at the GPO rally at the march end I saw her snapping away again indefatigably from the back of the speakers' platform . I always look forward to seeing one of Paula's fine photo essays after a march like this . I'm a great fan of her work .
