Today, in strength, Galway's Amnesty International activists took to William Street to protest over the obscenity that every year throughout the world, more than half a million people are killed by armed violence – that’s one person every minute and to let the Irish government and UN know that there is a solution; a legally binding, rigorously enforced, international Arms Trade Treaty that will seriously kybosh the flow of arms to countries that use them to read full story / add a comment

The Irish independent reports: " In February a cargo plane carrying three Boeing Apache helicopters, the type used by both the American and Israeli forces, landed at Shannon, where it stayed overnight before taking off for Israel. When contacted last month both the Department of Transport, which is responsible for foreign civilian flights, and the Department of Foreign Affairs, which is responsible for foreign military flights, denied any knowledge of the flight. This week, when presented with the serial numbers of the cargo planes and of the helicopters, they conceded the flights had taken place and said that they have launched an inquiry. Although Shannon airport is routinely used by American planes in support of the ongoing occupation of Iraq, this is the first time it has emerged that Ireland also facilitates the sale of American heavy-arms sales.

dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / news report Friday April 07, 2006 20:20 by Shell to Sea
A large group of Shell to Sea activists attempted to return a section of the Corrib Gas pipeline to the Statoil Office at the IFSC today, as part of a campaign to draw public attention to Statoil's role in supporting Shell in their continuing attempts to install a dangerous experimental raw-gas pipeline in North Mayo. The Gardaí, supported by a large number of private secirity guards, prevented the pipeline being brought into the office, and many office workers from the surrounding businesses came out to watch the stand off. Normally activists are not able to even leaflet in the IFSC, since it is private property, but today leaflets were handed out, stickers were put up, and the security guards were powerless to interfere with the protest. For a lot of the workers in the financial services district, the protest provided a colourful distraction from the demands of their office jobs. No one from Statoil was prepared to meet with the protesters or take delivery of the pipeline however, although one Statoil Executive did come to the phone, to say that the building security guards would not let any of the protesters enter, and he wasn't interested in leaving the building, since didn't feel there was anything to be gained by speaking to people in group situations, because he'd had bad experiences before. He went on to say that the Irish people should be satisfied with the deal that their government had got for them, where they receive 25% tax, although he conceded that since the billions of euros spent in exploration can be written off, it will be many years before a cent of tax is paid, if ever. Shell to Sea plan further protests on Norwegian Constitution Day, May 17th. read full story / add a comment

Micheál Ó Seighin, Willie Corduff, Brendan Philbin, and Philip and Vincent McGrath were brought before the courts again today to receive the final judgement from Justice Joseph Finnegan, the President of the High Court. The five were imprisoned last year for three months, for refusing to obey his order to cease protesting against the scheme by Shell and Statoil to install a dangerous, experimental, raw-gas pipeline through their village. read full story / add a comment
dublin / worker & community struggles and protests / news report Friday April 07, 2006 14:22 by Boycott Killer Coke
A very successful protest took place outside the Leinster Regional Final of Blast Beat which took place in the Issacc Butt last Saturday. Hundreds of school students took part in the event which was sponsored by Coca Cola. However the boycott killer coke campaign ensured that this sponsorship by Coke backfired with the company getting negative publicity about their appalling human rights abuses in Colombia where several coke workers have been assasinated because they were union members and activists. read full story / add a comment

Oh well we should have seen it coming. It seems that if the there isn't a "return to institutions" in the north by the 24th of November 2006, ( those institutions agreed under the "peace process" of 1998 blaa blaa) [and not to be confused with the institutions which met in the same building {Stormont} from 1921 - 1972 ] the people who don't do anything there, other than steal each other's shredded office waste, will GO WITHOUT THEIR PAY! not a penny of a pound nor centimo of a Euro, nor a shilling more will be paid them. ____________________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

The Rossport Five will be in Court again on Friday 7th April. Protest outside the Four Courts from 10AM. This hearing will decide what punishment the men will receive from the President of the High Court for refusing to obey a court injunction last year (for which they have already spent 94 days in prison). The five men are refusing to accept any criminalisation of their actions, so any fine or court order could result in them being sent back to prison. People are asked to join the protest at the Four Courts from 10 AM onwards. read full story / add a comment

I attended the Cosantoiri. Siochana-organised meeting last Saturday. It ran from about 2pm to 5.30pm and, while initially intended, I believe, to widen involvement in CS, it was transformed for various reasons into a 'coordinating meeting' for diverse anti-war activists and groups. This transformation occurred largely as a consequence of discussion on a thread on indymedia.ie following the recent Dublin anti-war march. So, my observations… read full story / add a comment

Anyone pissed off by the huge profits to be made by Statoil, by ripping off the Irish tax payer and compromising the health and safety of the people of Erris might want to come along Friday lunchtime. We'll be bringing a section of unwanted gas pipe to to Statoil HQ, deep in the black heart of the IFSC, a private area where dissent is forbidden. Meet at 12.45 at the northern side of the new footbridge beyond the Custom House. Bring whistles/hooters etc. read full story / add a comment |
