national / environment / press release Saturday July 22, 2006 03:38 by shell to sea
Eoin Ó Broin, noted environmental and political campaigner, and one of the founders of the Shell to Sea campaign, has vowed to cut off his dreadlocks to raise money for the Rossport Solidarity Camp. If he reaches his target of €2,000, his hair will be publicly cut on Grafton Street in Dublin on July 29th. Eoin claims he can't remember his last haircut, and his dreadlocks represent "about six years" growth. By this drastic action he is seeking to draw attention to the fact that the Shell to Sea campaign is continuing, and the lengths that people are prepared to go to resist Shell and the Irish government's scheme to install a dangerous, high pressure gas pipeline and a huge onshore refinery in Rossport, County Mayo. People can donate money at pledgebank www.http://www.pledgebank.com/cutthedreadsoff (€10) or http://www.pledgebank.com/cutthedreads (€25) or in person at Connolly Books, the Sinn Féin Shop, Barracka Books in Cork or Charlie Byrne's Bookshop on Middle Street in Galway City. Or look out for Eoin on Grafton Street or in Temple Bar next Thursday and Friday. He'll be raising funds in person. read full story / add a comment

At long last, the Bolivarian republic of Venezuela will take its place at the League of Arab states. This is a diplomatic coup for the Latin American state, considering its not arabic or even remotely Islamic. Only a great leader such as Hugo Chavez and his minister for African affairs Reinaldo Bolivar could have achieved such. Though detractor are quick to point out that Venezuela will at first only be an "observer state" at the League's meetings and as such won't have any power to vote or present resolutions - but the important news is this :- Hugo Chavez will get to stand in the family photos. read full story / add a comment

It may be just another self-help book on relationships, but it has also sold over 30 million copies and been translated into 40 languages. read full story / add a comment

national / animal rights / press release Thursday July 20, 2006 22:58 by Nuala Donlon
The Captive Animals Protection Society (CAPS) is today calling for the seizure of the animals being kept in Circus Sydney, following the admission of a circus spokesperson (Mr.Jan Erik Brenner on Matt Cooper – The Last Word Today FM) that a kangaroo escaped in Cork last weekend after children were allowed unsupervised access to its pen following one of its shows. The circus has since moved on to Wexford, effectively abandoning the kangaroo in Cork. The kangaroo, which remains at large, escaped when children left the gate open after going inside to pet the animal. On the Last Word programme, Mr Bernner admitted that children do have unsupervised access to animals after big top shows, and that the kangaroo escaped when the gate of its pen was left open by one of the visiting children read full story / add a comment
