dublin / history and heritage / news report Monday April 10, 2006 23:16 by Chris Murray
Harold's Cross Park celebrated it's centenary in 1994. A plaque commemorates the endowment of the Victorian Park to the people of the Rathmines/Harold's Cross townland. Cllr Mary Frehill performed the dedication ceremony. The park is a protected structure in its whole integrity including the original railings, the promenade ring, the hankerchief tree which commerorates the Women's Laundry strike and the view of the chapel and cemetry at Mount Jerome. Today at 11am, I walked to the park with my daughter to find the park be-ribboned and works ongoing which are dedicated to the removal of the Victorian (or Edwardian ) railings, for 'safety reasons'. There has been no planning notice to this effect on the railings or access points to the park. There has been no public consultation with the residents of the area as to the plans undertaken by Dublin City Council. When I started to take photographs I was threatened by a council worker that he would take a photo of me and that he would call the gardai, thus I confined my mobile camera to the pretty ribbons, until braver people came along. I asked a park keeper if this work would not affect the visual integrity of the park and if planning permission had been sought. He replied that as it was a safety excerise, that he did not believe that permissions were required. The protected structures within the park: two red-brick out-buildings are protected but the park itself was under the jurisdiction of the council. Councillor Frehill, when contacted stated that the works were going to be stopped pending a site visit this evening and a look at the plans for works. There has been in effect a complete stoppage of works until the reason for works and plans are inspected, under enforcement regulations. read full story / add a comment

With many having been ‘burned’ by the coverage of earlier revolutions in ex-Soviet satellite states, the recent mainstream media (MSM) coverage of the Belarusian election and the situation in the country appeared to be, to put it lightly, more than a little simplistic and one-sided.... read full story / add a comment

national / rights, freedoms and repression / other press Monday April 10, 2006 01:53 by Tadhg McGrath
A sad day for Irish journalism, and also very bad news for the many talented and dedicated staff who worked there. This article is from the Sunday Times Ireland Edition, and I haven't seen or heard this news anywhere else. Even the CPI's own website doesn't have it. Therefore it's possible that this is nonsense. However the CPI has been under attack since its launch, so I wouldn't be surprised if they have finally decided to give in to the enormous pressure they have been under. read full story / add a comment

I thought this article in the Sunday Times was worth a look. It seems that Christy Loftus, Shell's new hired help in Mayo, is saying that they are going to have to find a new pipeline route. He's getting €58K pper year for stating the obvious there, but he also seems to believe that there actually is a route they can find where the community will accept the danger posed by an experimental high pressure raw-gas pipeline. It looks as though Shell are also paying him to learn Irish, so some good will come of this scheme... Further on in the article, Maura Harrington wonders about the possibility of someone giving birth at the Rossport Solidarity Camp. read full story / add a comment
national / animal rights / news report Monday April 10, 2006 00:44 by Stephan Wymore
Dear ARAN Friend! Good news from Scotland. Just recently the Minister for Environment and Rural Development, Ross Finnie, confirmed his intention to introduce a ban on the use of wild animals in traveling circuses in secondary legislation following the implementation of the Animal Health and Welfare (Scotland) Bill. This follows a successful campaign by the Born Free Foundation, Advocates for Animals and other animal welfare organizations to ensure that the complex needs of wild animals are not overlooked in national legislation. This is extremely encouraging news as days before that announcement we heard about similar plans from the UK government to ban ‘wild’ or ‘certain’ animals in circuses in the UK. read full story / add a comment

It has been long observed that people for some reason on their non-banking days readily absorb shite about Dangerous Places, Famous People, Sensible Saving Options, Holidays, Interesting facts, Sport results, Media, gardening and health as well looking ahead at “democratic evolution” and looking back at "how history was made". This week's edition is very short. In fact I almost didn't write one, and like the "house arrest" edition that never transpired, the Judas edition almost escaped the open publishing network. But you're not getting off that easily. _______________________________________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment
