China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

Article 26 of the Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to education yet since 1979, the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has systematically sought to deprive its largest religious minority, the Bahá'í Faith, of the right to a full education. The situation in Iran represents perhaps the only case where the right to education is being intentionally denied to an entire group of people. This denial of education is based entirely on religious discrimination. ... read full story / add a comment

This morning the DOHC [Department of Health and Children] press released on the OECD
report on Healthcare. The report is set in a time period that ends at 2005. The DOHC decided
not to add the link onto their website so I am publishing it here.

Apparently we are doing quite well on Health, a bit of critical underspend and the necessity for
the department to juggle the figures. Of course the 2007 Breast Cancer Crisis is not mentioned
on this file,but directly under the link there can be found the statement by Ms Harney on
the issue (dated last week- the scandal broke on the 4th of September). ... read full story / add a comment

Caring for a relative can be a stressful and traumatic experience. The Government should do its best to help. I am upset at how many people are left caring for others and are given no support due to a means test. Anyone who cares deserves the backup of a Carer's allowance.

How many of these allowances could be paid out of Bertie Ahern's self granted pay rise?

Who deserves the money more? Bertie Ahern? or the carers in Westport? ... read full story / add a comment

Whilst we have come to expect little else for corporations like Royal Dutch Shell, yesterdays fines imposed on rogue traders trying to fix the price of natural gas clearly show that such companies are rotten to the core, solely driven by profits and greed and have little or no interest in social respondsibility.

These guys run cartels daily that effects all of us.

Today, to commemorate Shell's judicial murder of the Ogonii 9 and a look back in anger at the Garda baton-fest a year ago, some 400 activists journeyed from all reaches of Ireland to voice our outrage outside and inside Shell's Bellanaboy site, I was with the section of protestors that first manned the front line at Bellanaboy bridge at 6AM at the request of S2S when it was rightly surmised that Shell and the Guards would attempt to steal a march by bringing the workers in early - for a while, before Garda weight of numbers prevailed, we were effective in blockading and preventing them from earning their 30 pieces of Mammon silver inside. ... read full story / add a comment
