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…

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

August 20 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Mickey Devine Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

Micky once wrote: "I will never forget standing in the Creggan chapel staring at the brown wooden boxes. We mourned, and Ireland mourned with us.

"That sight more than anything convinced me that there will never be peace in Ireland while Britain remains. When I looked at those coffins I developed a commitment to the republican cause that I have never lost."

August 8 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Thomas McElwee Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

Speaking of the hunger strike and her sons and their comrades during Thomas' strike, Mrs. McElwee said: "I know Thomas and Benedict would be determined to stand up for their rights. In the Blocks one will stand for another. If this hunger strike isn't settled one way or another they'll all go the same way. There'll never be peace in this country."

August 2 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Kieran Doherty Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.
A child, like hundreds of others a product of British brutality and stupidity in the North, who revealed himself to be an outstanding soldier of the republic.
Kieran was a shy, reserved, easily-embarrassed young man who was single-minded and determined enough to have become, in himself, a condensed history of the liberation of a people.

August 1 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Kevin Lynch Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

A well-known and well liked young man in the closely-knit community of his home town, Kevin was remembered chiefly for his outstanding ability as a sportsman, and for qualities of loyalty, determination and a will to win which distinguished him on the sports field and which, in heavier times and circumstances, were his hallmarks as an H-Block blanket man on hunger strike to the death.

July 13 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Martin Hurson Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

Having seriously deteriorated after forty days on hunger strike, he was unable to hold down water and died a horrifically agonising death after only forty-four days on hunger strike, at 4.30 a m. on Monday, July 13th 1981.

July 8 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstriker Joe McDonnell Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating this brave Irish revolutionary who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

At 5.11 a.m., on July 8th 1981, Joe McDonnell, who - believeably, for those who know his wife Goretti, his children Bernadette and Joseph and his family - "had too much to live for" died after sixty one days of agonising hunger strike, rather than be criminalised.

Na Fianna Eireann activist - Fiann John Dempsey was shot while on active service in Turf Lodge Belfast - on the day of Joe McDonnell's death - we remember him with pride!

May 21 Marks the day Irish Republican Hungerstrikers Ray McCreesh and Patsy O'Hara Died on Hungerstrike 25 years ago.

We are asking the youth of the world to join with Ógra Shinn Féin in commemorating these brave Irish revolutionaries who died the most awful of deaths, to advance the struggle for freedom and socialism.

Ray's brother famously said, 'My Brother is not a Criminal!'

Writing shortly before the hunger strike began, Patsy O'Hara grimly declared: "We stand for the freedom of the Irish nation so that future generations will enjoy the prosperity they rightly deserve, free from foreign interference, oppression and exploitation. The real criminals are the British imperialists who have thrived on the blood and sweat of generations of Irish men."

The Corrib gas project is synonymous with Shell, leading player in a consortium also featuring Statoil and Marathon Oil. While Shell as the dominant partner has played the biggest role so far in Corrib, there are many more companies involved in this discredited project. Most of the work on the project from the construction and design of the gas refinery to peat haulage and site security is subcontracted out to individual companies. read full story / add a comment
