Good new for animal lovers! The Spanish Socialist Party are supporting rights for apes but it is not clear if this will include the right to vote.

Perhaps they feared a new outbreak of Gorilla warfare? Started by the Simian Bolivar Brigade, no doubt.

The Pope does product placing. At least that was the message from the Wall Street Journal today, and reported globally in translation. It was perhap a sly puritan reference to the rumoured movement on permissive Vatican condom rule relaxation between married really sick people. Or perhaps it was just more bollox, like the pope's election, or all of Dan Brown, or 1916, or the Moon Landings, or 911, or blood sacrifices in general, and more particularly - "everything you watch on TV".

But that much said..,

Like any other Open Publishing site Indymedia.ie attracts its fair share of trolls. For some years Indymedia users have been harrassed by an obsessed cyber-stalker going under a variety of names. This troll has abused people through the site, as well as sending intimidating and insulting personal emails to different constributors on our editorial lists (particularly to a woman who contributes to the list). This crackpot's one-person mission to monitor the workings of the site has also prompted them into going as far as using a popular blogging site to pour deliberately ill-informed abuse on Indymedia contributors including editors. read full story / add a comment

Shell to Sea activists plan to set up a table outside the Environmental Protection Agency office at the Customs House in Dublin at lunchtime on Friday, and offer glasses of drinking water from Erris to staff coming in at out.

Erris drinking water comes from Carrowmore Lake. The lake is becoming heavily contaminated with aluminium as a by-product of the removal of peat from the site of the giant gas refinery that Shell seek to construct at Beal an Átha Buí (known in English as Ballinaboy or Bellinaboy).

British army barricade at Moore street where surrender was taken

The Easter rising began at mid-day today 90 years ago. Traditionally the anniversary is marked as being on the Easter Monday rather than the actual date, perhaps in part because of the common theme of blood sacrifice. Histories of the rising tend to focus on the idea of blood sacrifice at both a motivation for the rising and the reason for the creation of the Free State. This article argues that although this may have been an important motivation on the day it was not the reason for the rising nor was the reason for the subsequent rise of the IRA simply found in the execution of the republican leadership after the rising. So using the article to mark the actual '90 years on'' date seems appropriate. read full story / add a comment

No-one should be surprised by the actions of our Guardians Of Privilege in Baldonnel last weekend. The grumpy authoritarian ego-trippers had to do something to justify their bank holiday overtime pay and the use of the copper-copter. Cuffing a young lad, forcing him to the ground and kneeling on him because he didn’t want to piss himself – that’s really guarding the peace. It seems as though the boys in blue haven’t quite moved on from the days of former blueshirt Garda Commissioner Eoin O’ Duffy. The "few rotten apples" thesis spouted by the Garda Representatives Association (ironically acronymed GRA) isn't credible. One only has to look at the cases of the Wheelock, Mulhall, Abbeylara, McBrearty families, RTS 2002 along with the Sallins train robbery, the 'Kerry Babies' case and Shercock cases in the past as evidence of a wider, institutional and generational malaise with the Gardai. Even, Henry Grattan called the police service" an abominable institution". read full story / add a comment
