Like many other employers UCD has sought to save money in the last couple of decades by refusing to create permanent pensionable posts. Instead, a growing percentage of the workforce have been left on short-term contracts without any pension rights.. SIPTU estimates that almost a third of workers in UCD are ‘fixed term workers’. The university also made a number of them redundant over the summer, including one who had been working for the college since 1981. read full story / add a comment

It is all to easy to get wound up in the festive cheer and hype in the run up to Christmas and while I do no advocate going ‘cold turkey’ (excuse the Pun) on Christmas altogether I do ask everyone as you sit around your table this Christmas spare a thought for republican prisoners who spend yet another Christmas away from home and loved ones.

An unfortunate gathering, especially following Tehrans Holocaust cartoon competition. This is no Histography Conference; the Iranian Foreign MInister has said: The first question to be posed is: Did the Holocaust actually happen or not? No mistaking that agenda.

Conference participants include:

Australian Fredrick Toeben, jailed in Germany for incitement and insulting the memory of the dead

Frenchman Robert Faurisson, convicted in France under Holocaust denial laws

Frenchman Georges Thiel, convicted in France under Holocaust denial laws

American David Duke, a former KKK leader and white supremacist

Prof. Yakov M. Rabkin, lecturer in contemporary Jewish history, Soviet history and the history of science at the University of Montreal since 1973 and practising Orthodox Jew, tonight laid bare the provenance of Zionism in Russia and voiced his opposition to it, full blown, in Israel

When Zionism, we were told, began to take root at the turn of the 20th century, most rabbinic authorities saw it as a dangerous tool to tear the Jews away from Torah and its commandments. read full story / add a comment

The Mail on Sunday returns today to the story the Irish Times and Irish Independent don't want to touch with a forty-foot pole. It is ironic that an Irish edition of a Conservative English newspaper shows more gumption in exposing this scandal than Irish owned newspapers.

See also: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/80012 - for previous Mail coverage of this story and how the Times and Indo have effectively ignored it.

Who are these newspapers protecting? The Fine Gael-Labour coalition of 1973-77, who ran scared from the bombs and instituted a reign of repression and terror against republicans and the (minority) of socialists who stood up to them, that's who. read full story / add a comment

This is a small piece of the story of Ireland, taken on its own it is a local issue but it is being echoed right now all across the country and it raises many other issues in its wake; housing, development, local democracy, accountability, sustainability. All important and interesting but to cover all of them would make a long article so this concentrates on just one – Water, because that’s something I’m passionate about and something that is too much taken for granted in this water rich country. I trust that readers are intelligent enough to make the links. read full story / add a comment

"You see I was born back in the so-called free days of the sixties, in the front bedroom of a working class house back in Dublin. My mother's water's broke, a girl was born but a boy was celebrated. A two second glance. A decision made condemning me to a life rejection, loneliness, misunderstanding, bias, loss and rape. I don't mean rape in the sexual sense but in the sense of being forced to live a lie. That is a rape of my soul, the real me." - Talk given this evenng by Lynda Sheridan at LGBT Carol Service in the Unitarian Church read full story / add a comment

Ireland is supplying troops to fight the Bush/Blair “war on terror” in Afghanistan, and it has been doing so since July 2002. Not many, it’s true. But Ireland is a contributor to ISAF, the NATO-led multi-national force there, which has killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Afghans in recent months. read full story / add a comment
