national / eu / press release Wednesday September 23, 2009 14:25 by Patricia McKenna
It is truly ironic that the EU Commission is here in Ireland urging Irish voters to vote Yes to the Lisbon Treaty under the guise of jobs and the economy, while it is allowing new member states, like Poland, to provide massive financial bribes to companies to move their operations out of Ireland. - The EU Commission could not care less about Irish jobs. They just want Lisbon passed so they can get more power for themselves at the expense of the people. says McKenna read full story / add a comment

I would like to respond to a number of Sinn Féin driven articles, letters and texts printed in the North Belfast News last week that included spurious claims against the Republican Network for Unity (RNU). The RNU is an Irish political pressure group with organised branches nationwide. We are not a political party and are not constituted as such. RNU subscribe to the 1916 Proclamation and the attainment of a 32 County Democratic Socialist Republic. Our goal is to promote and maintain core republican values and achieve our objectives by strengthening partnerships with strategically allied organisations, including Republican political parties, trade Unions, socialist and ex-prisoner groups.

Demonstrators arrested in the recent uprisings, particularly those in Kahrizak Prison have been gang-raped and the prison guards have put them under medieval tortures. Many of the detainees, female or male, have died in rape rooms as a result of being repeatedly raped, due to rupture of uterus or rectum and intestinal bleeding. Still others, in or out of prison, are suffering from the resulting physical and psychological traumas of these acts of violence. We know that the torture and raping of prisoners are not confined to Kahrizak and to the recent events. Executions and murder of prisoners, rape and torture in the Islamic regime’s prisons are as old the regime itself.

SIPTU members at Coca Cola HBC Ireland Ltd are taking strike action in protest at the company’s plans to outsource the jobs of 130 distribution and warehousing staff in Dublin, Tuam, Waterford, Tipperary and Cork. Pickets were set up at the plants this week .

Last week Coca Cola HBC drivers and warehouse staff received letters from three private transport companies offering them new employment at greatly disimproved pay and working conditions and containing threats of redundancy.

Coca-Cola employs just over 1,200 staff in Ireland at its five main distribution centres. Earlier this year the company announced 130 jobs in the transport division would be outsourced to private transport companies saying that outsourcing is necessary to cut costs and safeguard other jobs
