The following is based on accounts I recieved from many local people in the Erris region of how thanx to inference from Noel Dempsey and others, the mediation process became hi-jacked by a small but noisy group of Shell apologist's who are well known locally for their contempt for local peoples legitimate concerns about the current projects affect on there health, safety and the local terrestrial and Marine environment. It goes some way to explain certain bizarre findings in the Cassels report , such as the lie that the project has the backing of the majority of local people etc. when the the truth one finds from visting the area is obviously quiet the opposite read full story / add a comment

The train's rolling stock and interior :dated. The exterior: over the carriage couplings, new paint-work, inside each one had a leak, which wet all luggage of passengers. The Bathrooms: smelly and small. No trolley, food car or facilities to heat bottles, change diapers, breast feed. No facilities for disposing hygenically of sanitary equipment. Exacberated by a 25 minute delay outside Heuston. Intending greeting parties waited and left, as the board lit up 'on time' and then the Castlebar train vanished off the board. This is travelling, Celtic Tiger style. read full story / add a comment

"what if everyone who opposed the USA united?" That has been a question for a very long time, it has found a few answers through the end of the war & immediate post war period (1944-1950) when it first became apparant that the US led recipe for neo-liberal imperialist and globalised hegemony just might turn out worse than the 19th century European imperialist order. It brought the world through the cold war superpower camps, to then be countered by the Sino-Soviet split, It brought a young and charismatic Fidel Castro to the UN to appeal for a non-aligned block to then be countered by time. But the question has never really resolved and is being asked again, most recently in Tehran this weekend where the President of Oil producing Venezuela is meeting with the prime minister of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They share much in common - they've both written open letters to Bush. They're both into sport, Chavez favours baseball whereas Mahmoud is a soccer fan. read full story / add a comment

The Pitstop Ploughshares have never had an easy ride with the mainstream media. From the lies broadcast about the nonexistant assault on the Garda in the hangar. To the oft reported fabrication that the Irish taxpayer was picking up the "US2.5 million for repairs to the warplane. The powerful defense testimony was largely censored form the Irish media. Now the battle of the myths rages post-trial Alos a frightening repsonse form the White House to the jury's acquittal in Dublin. read full story / add a comment

I am very sad to hear about Ted Grant. I met him first in the late 1960's and from him I came to understand the basics of marxism. He defended the method of marxism throughout the entire difficult period of the post war period. In particular he defended the orientation to the mass organizations of the working class and the struggle for the revolutionary program within the working class. This laid the basis for maintaining a working class orientation and analysis and program in Ireland where I lived over many of these difficult years. I have great memories of Ted explaining his ideas at meetings and conferences and in discussions. read full story / add a comment

The Gardai are being placed in a position where the whole responsibility of road safety is being placed on their shoulders and supported by the Road Safety Authority. According to Bertie, we re all to blame for the carnage so stand back and be prepared to be wipped and later fined for such blatent abuse of our road traffic regulations. Dont blame the government, they try and do their best but people insist in driving cars and causing damage. Read on read full story / add a comment

One of the intimacies of war is death and lamentation. It was one of the intimacies of civilised society too, before the issue of death becme a taboo, something to be fought and dominated. Especially within the capitalist framework, wherein a few days entitlement to remove yourself from the rat-race is the nod to the process of grief. Wakes, in the houses of the head were a common practice in Irish society. They were structured rituals which involved every member of the family and extended family in their individual capacity as mourner, story-teller, Keener and waiter. read full story / add a comment

I am a Palestinian Muslim living in Ireland and I must speak out against the war against Israel which is bringing war down on Muslim heads in return. Take another look the map of Israel. It is a tiny sliver of land been the Mediterranean and the Jordan River. If Israel was not militarily powerful holding back the enormous miltary forces of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia would be simply impossible. In a matter of hours Israel would be invaded if armies broke through the defences of the Golan Heights or crossed the Jordan River valley, encompassing the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, or swept through the Negev and surrounded Al Quds and Tel Aviv from three sides. read full story / add a comment
