Paddy Kavanagh's sonnet "epic" is familiar to most Irish readers, it's wonderful description of an argument of land ownership in the late 1930's in Ireland as 2 farmers (one stripped to the waist) argue over a "half a rood of rock". These days throughout Europe neither men nor women seem to bother stripping to the waist to lay their claims on barren soil anymore - but the issue of public space & how to reclaim it has in recent years taken on a great collective importance. Thus in Ireland we've seen the initiatives of the Dolphins Barn garden & more recently the Darmouth Square project. This evening I'm going to tell you all about the Forat de Vergonya" : A site of just over a hectare (quite a few roods) which many years ago was designated by Barcelona 's council, Catalonia's government & the EU as a future site for a rubber tyre pre-recycling storage plant complete with hotel.

Ms Geraldine Kennedy and Mr Colm Keena are to appear before the
High Court to divulge the source of the Leak which led to 'Bertiegate'.
The story published on 21st September 2006, led to the endless
political Machiavellianism with which we are all familiar, which handed
the moral perogative to prop the Government to Mr Mc Dowell -An Tanaiste.

The last time a tribunal compelled someone to divulge source led too to
the High Court in the Notorious Howlin Case, wherein Brendan Howlin
TD was 'compelled' by the Morris Tribunal to divulge his source on the
Mc Brearty Case. I was in the Court that sad day, when the concept
of TD privilege was dropped and the tribunal's power underscored.
Ms Kennedy stands by her decision to publish in the public interest. read full story / add a comment

In Mayo, hundreds of police are being used to force Shell contractors through the picket of local people at the site of the disputed giant gas refinery at Ballinaboy every morning.

Today at 1PM, supporters of the Shell to Sea Campaign gathered at the Shell Headquarters of Shell Exploitation and Production Ireland,(52 Lwr Leeson Street) in Dublin, to express solidarity with the besieged people of Erris.

Activists from political groups such as Workers Solidarity Movement, Grassroots, Sinn Féin, The Socialist Workers Party, the Green Party, and others, as well as many people who belong to no group except Shell to Sea, blockaded the entrances to Shell's Corporate Base on Leeson Street at lunchtime. read full story / add a comment

Resistance and protest started this morning with a 20 strong picket outside the Quad at 11AM where it is expected the Israeli ambassador, Evrony, will be having polite conversation and morning coffee with the president of the college at 12noon. Throughout the day the flying picket will be tracking him and entourage in their wanderings, if that's the right word, around the campus to further vent our outrage at his country's murderous onslaught against the Palestinian and Lebanese peoples and its ongoing egregious human rights abuses.

Tomorrow at 10.30 in High Court a very important case will commence. At issue is the right of citizens to speak out without fear, when they have been abused and damaged by the Irish legal system, its courts, judges, officers (solicitors) or officials. At issue is the VLPS movements campaign for a legal ombudsman, for an end to self-regulation by legal professions, for reform of the practise of law in this country and for the "outing" of lawyers who abuse the privileges of their professional positions to amass fortunes through insider knowledge etc in property development. At issue also, and most importantly, is the freedom of the internet. Whether all this is decided tomorrow and how it is decided, may depend on how much support is seen at the Four Courts tomorrow. Be there! read full story / add a comment
