Despite rainy weather a good protest was held outside Dunnes Stores on Grafton Street in suport of Joanne Delaney who was sacked for wearing a badge. At times the store was empty despite it being a Thursday evening - one of the busiest times of the week on Grafton Street. There was as usual an excellent response from passers by and several customers turned away from Dunnes when they saw the protest. ... read full story / add a comment

The news that the minority irish republican armed force party, "RSF" intend to manipulate the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974 by laying a wreath to co-incide with the mildly controversial Orange Order march in Dublin later this year, ought present us with an opportunity to revisit the events of May 17th, 1974 and the other "Dublin bombings".

It is simply offensive that a party which refuses to engage in constitutional politics either side of the border in Ireland, seek to promote their agenda by associating their protest against Orangeism with the suffering of victims of terror. Two "wrongs" may never make a right. A quick recap of what occured in Dublin Ireland between 1/12/72 and 17/5/1974 ... read full story / add a comment

Members of Cosantoiri Siochana along with concerned members of the public staged a candle lit vigil across from Minister for Just-us Michael McDo-ill's constituency office tonight. Despite the inclement weather, peace activists were determined to make a stand for justice, something our elected 'leaders' seem unable or unwilling to do. Perhaps they have a different set of 'allegiances' or are loath to betray their 'obligations'. ... read full story / add a comment

There was an excellent response from members of the public and passers by to a protest in support of Joanne Delaney that took place outside the new Dunnes Stores in Maynooth in the Manor Mills Shopping Centre. The Mayor of Kildare Cllr. John McGinley came along to support the protest. In a shift in tactics security threatened to call the Gardaí on protestors. The protest was held by members of the Labour Party in NUI Maynooth and Maynooth town.

Needless to say this attempt to scare away the protestors was ignored. ... read full story / add a comment

Minister Noel Dempsey's seems to gettting ready for a "final push" against the people of Rossport. His comments in the Dail this week that the Rossport Five only represent an "element in the community" is part of his divide and rule policy.

The government "white wash" report Advantica is due out soon and then after that the Minister Dempsey is going to push ahead.

His langauge in the Dail towards the supporters of the Rossport Five, strikes me that there seems to be a more confrontational attitude coming form the government now.

Who Would Say No To Pure Spring Water On Tap

"LIKE the Rossport five, a group of Limerick men are willing to go to jail in order to stop water from the "highly polluted” River Deel from
coming into Pallaskenry."

Setting up a picket line to stop the pipes being laid, the Kildimo/Pallaskenry Bleach Lough retention committee say that they would rather be locked up behind bars than be forced to drink water from a river that is "floating with dead animal carcasses, human excrement, fish kills and rubbish”.

According to the vice chairperson and secretary of the group, Dan Foley, they have enjoyed clean pure water from the nearby Bleach Lough spring source for the past 50 years. And he said that they shouldn’t all be forced to take water from "one of the most polluted rivers in Ireland” when there is ample capacity at the Lough to cater for everyone.

The controversial pipeline is due to reach the white picket line within the next two to three weeks. But Mr Foley said that they will be there to meet it when it comes.

And what are kingdoms but fair thievish purchases? For what are thieves’ purchases but little kingdoms? For in thefts the hands of the underlings are directed by the commander, the confederacy of them is sworn together, and the pillage is shared by the law amongst them. And if those ragamuffins grow up to be able enough to keep forts, build habitations, possess cities, and conquer adjoining nations, then their government is no more called thievish, but graced with the eminent name of a kingdom, given and gotten, not because they have left their practices, but because now they may use them without danger of law. ... read full story / add a comment

The battle by the community in Rossport Co. Mayo to prevent Shell from riding roughshod over their rights and safety shot to national prominence late last year when 5 local men (who became known as the Rossport 5) spent over 3 months in jail. The men were imprisoned for protesting against attempts by Shell to bring a high-pressure gas pipeline across their lands in close proximity to their homes. ... read full story / add a comment

A manifestation to show solidarity with the Shelltosea campaign in Ireland took place at the Shell Station at Ullevi in Göteborg on Saturday 18th February as part of the International Day of Action in support of the campaign. The station is located along a dual carriageway which runs near the city centre so the main impact of the action was that lots of passers by saw the banner and placards. The banner read "Bojkatta Shell" while the placards read "SOLIDARITETSAKTION med KAMPANJEN 'Shell To Sea' på IRLAND. Friends of the Earth (Miljöförbundet Jordens Vänner, Göteborg) brought 'along their mobile display box decorated with Shelltosea posters and a Statoil advertisement with "Greenwash" printed accross it. ... read full story / add a comment
