From the UCC Student's Union debate board: http://bb.ucc.ie/viewtopic.php?t=6102&postdays=0&postor...art=0 I'm not going to vote for a president who doesn't mention equality issues in their manifesto and I'm sure I'm not the only one - Paul McAndrew" From Richie (one of three candidates): Quote: "Sorry paul, what do you mean by equality issues?" From me: Quote: "tackling barriers faced by students with disabilities, LGBT students, Muslim students etc" From Richie: Quote: "Well of course That's important, however i believe that it is not as important ascatering, printing or the library. If you want equality prioritised over these issues then perhaps you should vote for mariel. They are part of my goals but they are not my number one priority" ... read full story / add a comment

international / politics / elections Friday February 17, 2006 - 13:50 by iosaf
A very short reminder that Italy celebrates a general election later this year. & for all intensive purposes its a very simple contest. In the right wing reconstructed popularist fascist corner :- Berlusconi. in the left wing reforming newly democratically legitimate centre pitching corner :- Prodi. Berlusconi is more than a politician. He is a billionaire who has exploited weaknesses in the post war Italian constitution to extend unwarrented power in all directions. Put very simply he is a "product". Regardless of what socio-economic class an italian comes from the "product" is still deftly targetted. Regardless of whether or not the targetted consumer likes or dislikes Berlusconi, the brand name has been completely absorbed. On the shelves of Italian newsagents one can buy a book of anti-Berlusconi insults, compiled by his office published by his press. His emergence has been one of the most serious challenges against XXI century democracy in Europe yet. & fighting him thus meant the development of new and interesting tactics. For the first time an opinion poll has placed Berlusconi slightly ahead of Prodi the same day that Berlusconi announces a fresh electoral pact with Alessandra Mussolini the direct descendent of the dictator. It is a sign of how he plays the "fascist" tradition in Italian culture. So I'd like to inform the readers whats going on & maybe encourage "italian interest" contributors to indymedia ireland to expand and clarify the themes touched - ______________________________________________________________________________ ... read full story / add a comment

Having attended three talks given by Micheal O’ Seghin of the Rossport 5, it has been remarkable that he has scarcely repeated himself in presenting the facts about what is happening in Mayo – and throughout Ireland – where the Shell to Sea campaign is concerned. Despite having recently posted a report from his discussion with Eamonn Dunphy at Trinity College in Dublin last week, it was clear at his most recent talk that it warranted a further report - presented here in Micheal's own words. The venue was O' Donovan’s Hotel, Clonakilty, 15 February 2006. ... read full story / add a comment
