Websters (unabridged ) International Dictionary gives the physics of astigmatism as
" A defect of an optical system(as a Lens or mirror) in consequence of which rays from a
single point of an object fail to meet in a single focal point thus causing the image
of a point to be drawn out into a line and the images of lines having a certain direction
to be less distinct than those of lines transverse to that direction." read full story / add a comment

In a detailed article in the February issue of Irish Law Times, Declan Costello, the former Attorney General and former President of the High Court claims the Iraqi War is illegal. In the article, Costello backs the assertion made by the UN Secretary General, made in September 2004, that the invasion of Iraq was illegal, saying it "has strong and comprehensive legal arguments to support it". read full story / add a comment

Demostration on the first anniversary of the death of Terence Wheelock, Dublin Sat 3/6/06

Terence Wheelock died in suspicious circumstances after being arrested and held in Store Street Garda Station in Dublin last June. The Gardaí maintain that he attempted to take his own life by hanging himself from a light fitting in the cell. Before any proper investigation could be carried out, the cell was completely re-furbished. This included the removal of the light fixture.

The family of Terence Wheelock are campaigning for a proper public inquiry into the events surrounding his death. So far, the Department of Justice have agreed to carry out a limited, internal investigation by a senior Garda who spent many years working in Store Street.

The family have, however, been subjected to a sustained campaign of intimidation from the Gardaí, including assaults and arrests. Earlier this week, Terence's brother was arrested and taken to Clover Hill high-security prison because of a fine he had not paid in 1988.

That's an eighteen-year-old warrant. Throughout those eighteen years, the Gardaí could have got in contact at any time.

Mental illness and the treatment of mental illness have become conflated in the minds of lay people and professional alike. It is an astute practitioner who can distinguish the effects of treatment from the effects of illness when they look at a mental patient. In my humble opinion standard treatment contributes more to stigma and isolation of the mental patient than any underlying illness he or she may suffer from. read full story / add a comment

The mass media representation of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as an Al-Qaeda leader is inaccurate. Al-Qaeda as an 'organisation' has no formal structure, and would be more accurately described as philosophy. Media representations of the group are seriously flawed and buy into the assumptions underlying the US-led 'war on terror'. read full story / add a comment

This year will mark the first ever Connolly Festival, taking place in the Teachers Club on Friday 16th and Saturday the 17th of June.

The idea of the festival is to organise an event to commemorate James Connolly by looking at issues and campaigns that are relevant today. It is hosted by Labour Youth and the event is open to all left wing activists. It is our hope that the workshops will be informative and interactive with the clear intention of a unified campaign emerging at the end of each session. Although speakers have been asked to speak, it is hoped that all activists present would make contributions and help ensure a lively discussion.

'Rock Against The Blocks' are Republican Youth concerts and were a common feature during the Hungerstrike of 1981, they were organised by 'Youth Against The H Blocks' who mobilised massive support behind the Prisoners 5 Demands, through the use of popular and direct action means.

25 years on from the 1981 Hungerstrike, and from the original ‘Rock Against The Blocks’, Ógra Shinn Féin have revived the youth concerts.
