National Protest for Pat ( The Chief ) O' Donnell
Saturday 27th March 3:30pm, Castlerea prison, Co. Roscommon.

Pat O'Donnell is now entering into his second month in prison for trying to stand up against Shell who have been handed state assets worth 100s of billions of Euros for free. The govt has already spent 10s of millions on perpetuating this fraud and turning the Garda into a police force for multi-national corporations where at any given time hundreds of Garda are stationed in a tiny village on the western most tip of Mayo.

An attempt was already made on Pat's life last year, when an unknown commando unit boarded his boat at 2am one night while out at sea and left him to drown (see here). Luckily he managed to survive. There have been zero prosecutions in relation to this. Click here for more details on the protest on the 27th.

Writing in the Irish Independent today Brendan Keenan seemed to have an epiphany regarding Ireland’s deflation problem. He, like most Irish newspaper economic commentators considers the deflationary effects of the strategy to reduce spending, including public sector pay and pension provision as unimportant.  In order to achieve this revelation, however, all he had to do [...]

Ireland is in the middle of a catastrophized recession. This will come as no surprise to anyone in Ireland, though perhaps it is not known as well internationally as one might think. One of the crucial features of the time leading up to the boom was the activity of the property developers, the ?risk-taking’ darlings [...]

Irish, English, Scots and Welsh people are so reluctant to talk about death they often fail to tell their families what they want to happen to them when they die, or so a recent survey has found. 60% of people have not written a will, including a quarter of over-65 year olds. And of those [...]

In 1975, the victorious Viet Minh entered Saigon, the capital of the South, following a 30 year struggle against a range of international forces. For the first time, since its occupation by France in the late 19th century, Viet Nam was independent and no longer subject to the dictates of foreign powers. However, while the lengthy [...]
