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.

dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / news report Thursday October 05, 2006 16:37 by Chris Murray
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

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. read full story / add a comment

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
