dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / news report Thursday October 05, 2006 01:28 by Shell to Sea
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. 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

mayo / environment / news report Tuesday October 03, 2006 19:04 by Eve, Bob and Niall.
The myth of Shell’s newfound commitment to achieving “local consent” before proceeding with the Corrib gas project was utterly debunked this morning, as an army of around 200 police forcibly removed Shell to Sea protesters from their picket at the proposed Bellanaboy Corrib Gas refinery site. This underlines Shell’s disregard for the concerns of the majority of people in Mayo and reinforces the Shell to Sea prediction that the only way this project can go ahead is by the use of force. Clearly the state is more than willing to lend its strength to Shell to be used against the people it supposedly serves. read full story / add a comment

It's winter-time for those fur-clad cavepeople to come lumbering back onto the streets-a scene that makes as many people shiver from disgust as from the cold. It's also time for people who care about animals to shift the anti-fur movement into high gear and take any fur hag to task. read full story / add a comment

After nearly a fortnight of political turmoil, which Bertie really wishes would have died down by now, today seems to be the D-day on which all of his future will be decided. After his Nixon-esque interview on Six-One, the FF strategists were surely hoping that his personal life being laid bare for the cynical public, as well as his stated intention to pay back the "loans", were enough to silence the hounds. However the Manchester payment, by some group of businessmen, for some vague reason or other, is going to cause him enormous damage, and it remains difficult to see how he could come out on the other side of all this with his image as a simple man of the people intact. Surely even FF are going to be wondering if sticking with their leader is worth it. In the last general election, his face was the face of Fianna Fail, adorning the posters on the lamposts, with the slogan 'A Lot Done, More To Do'. They face losing the next election if Bertie is still at the helm
and is the brand of FF. read full story / add a comment

Bad ideas are like starfish: You can cut them up, but unless you squash them into jelly and incinerate the remains, they will multiply. I’m not really saying that we should go around murdering idiots . . . but this week’s “news” certainly made me want to beat a few people mercilessly. read full story / add a comment

Jim Cusack, a man hilariously described as something of a Walter Mitty figure by a DGN organiser on the Late Late Show back in 2004, was back in the SIndo this week, with his ramshackle journalistic style to expose the lack of investigative merit behind Village journalist Scott Millar's recent contribution to Searchlight on clerical fascist Gerry McKeough. read full story / add a comment |
