dublin / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Monday October 23, 2006 18:01 by Colleen
Ógra Shinn Fein mobilised in Dublin on Saturday to demand a public health system that delivers on the basis of need and not ability to pay. They were also there to push their demands on an All-Ireland approach to Suicide Prevention and carried banners highlighting the issue. Many activists also dressed up as patients on waiting trolleys, and one brave male Ógra even donned a dress, wig and make-up to enact Mary Harney. (Although he didn't get many kisses!) read full story / add a comment
derry / anti-war / imperialism / press release Monday October 23, 2006 17:01 by Brits Out!
Sinn Féin Councillor Maeve McLaughlin has accused the University of Ulster of double standards after it emerged that the British Army and Royal Navy are to attend a careers fair on Magee Campus while political parties were banned from fresher’s day recently. Councillor McLaughlin said, “At the recent freshers day political parties were not allowed to have leaflet, elected representatives or emblems present. The reason given for this by the Pro Vice Chancellor was that they wanted to create a neutral political environment on the campus. “The attendance of the British Army at a career fair in a city that has seen such outrages as Bloody Sunday carried out by elements within that army does not in any way lend to the creation of a neutral political environment. read full story / add a comment

national / environment / other press Monday October 23, 2006 15:20 by Shell to Sea
Below is the first part of interesting article on a move to try and get some money from Shell and other energy companies to pay some of the cost of the environmental damage they cause (followw the link for the rest). While the article makes the point that Shell don't pay nearly enough to make up for the damage they are causing in Britain, here in Ireland we should remeber that there is no tax being paid on their huge profits, since all the costs incurred by SEPIL-everything up to and including the legal costs of prosecuting the Rossport Five- are being wriiten off. Last year the British Finance Minister, Gordon Brown, imposed a windfall tax on the energy companies. Will Brian Cowan impose a windfall tax on Shell to pay for the extra hospital beds we need? To at least offset the cost of the huge Garda occupation force in Mayo? To invest in sustainable energy sources? Maybe he's waiting for someone to suggest it- his phone number is: 01-604 5626 read full story / add a comment

international / history and heritage / news report Sunday October 22, 2006 22:12 by liszt
It is very curious that most of the key momentous changes of European History & thus the events we note as watersheds of our social development - were spontanous & un-planned or even the results of "accidents". 50 years ago today young people took to the streets of Hungary & kicked off a popular revolution. No-one really knew what they wanted & no-one really remembers if they had leaders & what their names were. It proved to be the event which confirmed that the Warsaw Pact states of Europe would have to follow the stalinist isolationist path laid out just a few years before in the former East German state & sectored Berlin. It is odd how the Hungarian revolution began, as odd as how the Berlin wall came down (the result of a mistakenly read statement at a press conference). The brutality shown them was the same brutality that kept half of our continent in bonds till only recently. read full story / add a comment

Rebalancing Criminal Justice-Remarks Made by Tanaiste in Limerick. The Tanaiste is up-grading the statutes to do away with the Right to Silence, though he asserts that the right to the presumption of innocence and trial by jury will remain. The Killer in his press release is this Quote: 'Many of the legal principles and values have become the cornerstones of our law and are almost sacrosant in how we perceive and interact with them. Those same principles have originated and developed from a different era when many defendants could not read or write and it was necessary for the legal system to devise means and ways(!) to ensure that safeguards were available'. http://www.justice.ie read full story / add a comment
