The EU has suppressed a report on European anti-semitism, deeming it to be too 'inflammatory'. The report blames the rising tide of anti-semitic incidents in Europe on muslim and pro-Palestinian activists. It also deals with the new phenomenon of left-wing anti-Jewish sentiment. Please see the link to the Guardian article. Note that criticism of Israel per se is not regarded as anti-semtic, but rather only abusive vilification is. ... read full story / add a comment

South Dublin County Council is to move a number of Travellers Caravans from outside Killinarden Estate today at 12pm. Again the Councils response to the housing needs of Travellers is to evict them and move them on rather than provide housing. ... read full story / add a comment

Mick Power presented a letter to the Government today. The letter referred to the increase in the length of time that you have to be on social welfare before you can apply for the Back to Education Entitlement Award from 6 months to 15 months. Various speakers took their protest forward blaming the government for its stance, some including the Sean Crowe of SF saying that the time scale should have been reduced not increased. ... read full story / add a comment

Just so you know, the 2002 Anti-Trespass Act has been used by Cork City Council to convict members of two Traveller families in Cork District Court. Michael Faulkner and Kathleen Delaney were both sentenced to a month in prison, suspended for two years and one year respectively. This raises a constitutional concern regarding basic human rights to shelter and liberty, both of which are threatened by this bizarre anomaly in legislation. ... read full story / add a comment

A view as to why Dubliners should support our current transport service.From my ongoing research into people's opinions of Dublin Bus, I have found that the vast majority of people do not realise the implications and changes that privatisation will bring.The introduction of the private sector into the public transport sector will not improve the commuters long term interests but will destroy a company that has developed into a profitable and publicly orientated transport service set in the interests of all the people.People say " bring on the private operators but they fail to realise that this ill thought opinion will bring with it, higher fare prices,less frequent service on non-profitable routes and the cancelling of routes that make no sense from a business aspect to maintain in use. ... read full story / add a comment

They love 'Freedom' in Miami - they 'really' do . . Here are some reports from the streets there. Much more at the related 'ftaaimc' link. Makes a mockery of Bush's statement about the protests in the UK during his visit - 'Isn't freedom wonderful'. And the Black Bloc . . . what can you say? . . . It's gone beyond a joke . . . at this rate even the Irish police will cop on to this tactic sooner or later ... read full story / add a comment

Over 100 people gathered outside the US Embassy in solidarity with the huge number of protesters marching against the Bu$h visit. It was a noisy protest calling for the immediate withdrawal of US/UK troops from Iraq and Afghanistan and for an end to the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories. Demands for an end to the use of Shannon as a US military base were made by all speakers. Richard Boyd Barrett, Chair of IAWM, reminded us that the small protests at he same spot during the invasion of Afghanistan grew rapidly, leading to the massive protests on 15 February last. We can do the same again as 20 March has been declared as a 'A Day of Action Against All Occupations'. ... read full story / add a comment

In Shannon District Court today, a resident of Shannon who took part in the June 21st.roundabout blockade, has been ordered by Judge Mangan to absent himself from the Shannon district court area any time there is a peace/anti-war demonstration in Shannon. He is to receive 24 hour written notice from the gardai in Shannon of any such event! He was also fined 200 euro. The defending solicitor remonstrated with the judge over the constitutionality of such an order but to no avail. Rampant justice was once again the order of the day. ... read full story / add a comment |
