With an absolute rejection of the State socialist left, of hierarchical organisation and reformism, we call for a pro-active militant response to the July G8 meeting in Scotland, UK 2005. Refusing to conform to the agenda of the G8, we aim for a resurgence of committed radical activity against the State and Capital, everyday, all the time. Stressing decentralisation, and flexibility, we reiterate the fragile nature of the capitalist system, of the great precariousness of an economic system which is attacking workers, the unemployed, women, and the environment. Exploiting dwindling natural resources, the system is burning up the world in poverty, war, and ecological collapse. read full story / add a comment

Mission Against Terror tells the story of five men dispatched by the Cuban government to 'observe, monitor and report on the workings of the (Anti-Cuban) terrorist network in the United States' - a network responsible for the deaths of almost 3,500 Cubans in a covert terrorist war against Cuba. Having compiled evidence of terrorist plots by Miami-Cubans, which was sent to the FBI, the men found themselves arrested rather than the terrorists they tracked. The men were placed in solitary confinement for 17 months and subsequently tried in Miami. They were sentenced to four life sentences and 75 years collectively. The Free the Miami Five Campaign was established in Ireland to highlight the injustices of the case brought against the men, the human rights abuses that have occurred during their detention and to call for their release. We are delighted that the two film makers will be in Ireland to present their film and answer questions from the audience in each venue. . read full story / add a comment

“…another truth about fortress continents: being on the inside may be better than being locked out, but it's no guarantee of equal status.” - Naomi Klein. The existing policies of the Irish govt. to safeguard the rights of migrant workers and their families are "deficient and lacking in scope." - Human Rights Commission. The govt. says that the exploitation of migrant workers in Ireland is not a major problem, but this report reveals hidden levels of exploitation at the heart of our economy - including employers who are household names and considered "pillars" of their communities. - Prime Time Investigates, Monday, 26 April, RTE1, 9.30pm read full story / add a comment

The Minister for Social & Family Affairs, Mary Coughlin recently announced plans to introduce a two-year “habitual residence” test to restrict access to social welfare in Ireland. This followed a similar move in the UK with whom we share a “common travel area”. In both cases the restrictions were announced as being part of preparations for EU “enlargement” on May 1st. After the restrictions were announced Minister Coughlin was questioned about the legitimacy of the rules under EU law. To comply with EU law, the Minister was careful to introduce restrictions that targeted the “inactive” and which also included Irish people as well as EU and non-EU people. On Tuesday 23rd a judgement in relation to “habitual residence” was reached in the European Court of Justice. An Irish-American who was refused a jobseeker’s allowance in the UK lost his case against the British Government. read full story / add a comment
