Today's Guardian is reporting that "Shell is being forced by the Russian government to hand over its controlling stake in the world's biggest liquefied gas project ... After months of relentless pressure from Moscow, the Anglo-Dutch company has to cut its stake in the $20bn Sakhalin-2 scheme in the far east of Russia in favour of the state-owned energy group Gazprom". read full story / add a comment

Shell Exploitation and Production Ireland posted an operating loss of nearly fifty million euro last week. With costs associated with their scheme to install a polluting refinery and experimental pipeline in North West Mayo spiralling, the troubled company was shown to be completely dependent on the goodwill and patience of its shareholders. Among the figures making up the loss, it was noticed that SEPIL paid their 45 staff the amazing seven million, two hundred thousand euro. This means that the company -which regularly claims it employs seven hundred people- pays it workers an AVERAGE of €160,000 per year (or €3,076 per week). Of course the company doesn’t divide up it wage bill equally, and some of the front men probably don’t get paid much more than the average indymedia reporter, which means someone in Corrib House is doing very well indeed out of losing €49.1 million. read full story / add a comment

There are currently Republican prisoners held in both Castlerea and Portlaoise prisons. Four POWs, imprisoned in Castlerea, are qualifying prisoners under the Good Friday agreement and should have been released long ago. The Dublin government is in breach of its commitments under that agreement and must release these prisoners if they are to live up to their obligations under the Good Friday Agreement. read full story / add a comment

Last night Mary Harney released a programme to deal with the elderly, as she is not far off that stage of life herself you would think that problem solving and a bit of wry humour would inform her obviously jaundiced world view. But Progressive liberalism forgets that there is such a thing as family and community, and the women I have spoken to today are not pleased with the present government interfering (again) in the privacy of the family- by dipping into the home (as equity for 'care') read full story / add a comment

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. read full story / add a comment

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 |
