There is in reality not the slightest logical reason for war, and yet the whole world is plunging headlong into frightful destruction, and doing so with the purpose of avoiding war and preserving peace! This is a true war-madness, an illness of the mind and the spirit that is spreading with a furious and subtle contagion all over the world." - Thomas Merton writing in 1961 read full story / add a comment

From Monday to Friday, Galway Shell to Sea activists have been outside Lynch's Castle in Shop Street for six hours daily (yesterday's stint was eight hours) leafleting the pedestrians on the plight of the Rossport Five, taking petition signatures - close to 11,000 so far and selling at cost or with an extra fifty cents added, handsome A5 size postcards to be sent to the Five in Cloverhill prison - an average of 125 are sold daily.

On Thursday evening, from 6PM to 7PM the Statoil Service Stations at Cemetery Cross and Headford Road along with the Westside Shell Station were picketed/blockaded.

More of the same is planned for the coming week. read full story / add a comment

"Tús maith, leath na h-oibre," said Pat heading off with his leaflets to the Electric Picnic from Dublin Castle. And he is right.
