In recent weeks, there has been a veritable tsunami of establishment media drivel against those who demand that the Irish government halt the give away of the country's oil and gas reserves and stop pandering to the multi-nationals, much of it from the O’Reilly controlled press. read full story / add a comment

Irish authorities actively covered up loyalist death squad actions Brother of Martin Doherty, who was killed in a 1994 gun and bomb attack on the Widow Scallan’s pub in Dublin, calls for full disclosure Jarlath Kearney 25/05/2006 Irish government authorities have actively covered up the actions of loyalist death squads that operated in the 26 Counties during the 1990s, a Daily Ireland probe today reveals. The objective of the persistent, top-level cover-ups has been to protect well-placed RUC/PSNI and British intelligence agents operating in both the Ulster Defence Association and Ulster Volunteer Force. The conduct of the Irish authorities raises serious legal, constitutional and human-rights questions for Irish citizens affected by the attacks. read full story / add a comment
wicklow / anti-capitalism / other press Friday May 26, 2006 12:11 by Mick Hall
Concerns have been raised over the transparency of one of Ireland’s biggest proposed developments. The €2 billion (£1.4 billion) plan by the Pizarro Development Consortium to build a high-density development on the 62-acre site on Bray town golf course in Co Wicklow was passed by Bray Town Council and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council earlier this month. Local residents have strongly objected to the plan, concerned it will cause widespread flooding in the Little Bray part of town, affecting more than 700 homes. The residents are holding a public meeting next Monday to discuss a campaign to have the high-density build of shops, offices and residential homes moved away from the River Dargle flood plain and relocated to higher ground on the site. Picture shows Sinn Fein Cllr. John Brady with Sinn Fein TD Sean Crowe and party member Marie Gavaghan checking proposed plans for develepment on the natural flood plain on in the Dargle valley, Bray, Co. Wicklow.

Pope Benedict XVI the supreme moral authority for most citizens of the Irish Republic has begun his 4 day visit to Poland, during which he will speak against feminism, gay marriage, abortion, liberalism, contraception, & sex education. For those of you who don't know who pope Benedict XVI is, or why he is newsworthy.... A long time ago the archangel Gabriel appeared to a teenage girl in Palestine commonly called Mary, she was most probably aged between 14 and 16 based on customs of the time. The archangel told her that she was pregnant but wasn't to get too uptight about it.... It wasn't going to be a crime.... Because she'd have a virgin birth without DNA samples and her baby would be called Emanuel / Jesus / Brian & he'd be really famous and end up starring in the first Good Friday Agreement, and Michael Mc Dowell the sinful capitalist liberal hadn't been accounted for in the divine plan. Of course all the frothy stuff got removed over the centuries, and now we know better. Pope Benedict, the German Shepherd, Papa Ratzi, has been well prepared for by his hosts the former communist & bolshevik, Poland. The Polish government has banned adverts for items which might upset him or the memory of Mary the virgin teenager. 1) tampons.(+) 2) condoms. 3) beer. 4) lingerie (what Mary Harney wears underneath her suits) read full story / add a comment

The Ryder Cup is an occasion of horror to those who regard golf as a way of spoiling a good walk, or merely, an excuse to wear Rupert the Bear trousers in public. However, this major sporting event is coming to Ireland this September. There has been virtually no background investigation into the preparations. Until now............. read full story / add a comment

the 23rd of May, the RTE news broadcast caught my eye for a variety of reasons. Perhaps it was name of the barrister at law, Paul Anthony Mc Dermott explaining to RTE legal affairs editor Mary Wilson, what had occured at yesterday's Supreme Court ruling..... http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/0523/sex.html Or maybe it was how Bertie Ahern said sorry for calling someone a thief and how Deputy Rabitte looked at him.... Maybe it was the idea of how someone could go empty their gun at a school in Cork and not be "Yankee style" a kid, but a grown up instead... read full story / add a comment

A system of sequenced closing times for licensed premises in Ireland is long overdue and is respected worldwide as a concept, which facilitates the steady and orderly flow of people leaving licensed establishments throughout the night. Put simply, sequenced closing times means that pubs, restaurants, late bars and nightclubs all close progressively later than each other. read full story / add a comment

"Now some of those who would not give even a cup of water to those struggling for Irish national independence down the years, were climbing on the bandwagon of material gain and self- aggrandisement. It was a far cry from the beds of pain of the hunger strikers in the H-Blocks to the comfort of ministerial seats under British rule in Stormont and the cosiness and luxury of heavily-subsidised English offices in Westminster." read full story / add a comment |
