"Tús maith, leath na h-oibre," said Pat heading off with his leaflets to the Electric Picnic from Dublin Castle. And he is right. With the digging in the Tara Gabhra Valley in progress, time is running out to make it public knowledge that the current M3 route is a massive squandering of public money as it detours off like a rampaging tornado towards Tara before resuming its 'natural' directness from Navan to Kells that is normally a feature of motorways. read full story / add a comment

By now everyone with a tv set knows that after 120 hours the poor of new Orleans are getting food, water and medical supplies. I've left an article, filled with Jesus describing what happened in the USA in the last week, which soon enough will be forgotten, and i've moved to american time not the first time in my life I wake at american morning and work till american night. Yesterday america's tv and newspapers got into "state of emergency". Yesterday the anchor news opinion shows of the 4 networks got down to real business. Answering the questions, spinning less propaganda, telling "you" how to help, giving facts, figures and to a one voicing the desperation of their own "ex war correspondents" in New Orleans. 120 hours. What follows is advice for you and your friends and family as members of "our community" on what may save your life if ever your city goes through a similar disaster. read full story / add a comment

Hundreds of thousands are left homeless. Tens of thousands have been shipped to Texas as refugees. Buildings have collapsed. Entire communities have been reduced to rubble. The city of New Orleans, one of the centres of history and culture in the US, will likely be uninhabitable for months. The death toll from Katrina is certainly in the hundreds, and it will probably reach the thousands. Some commentators say this was all unavoidable, but that is a lie.
