Iggy Madden of Iggy Madden Haulage Ltd, Galway, crony, “close friend and confidante,” whatever, of shady Frank Fahey, was the target of Galway Shell to Sea’s concern this afternoon on account of the imminent removal by his firm of some 660,000 metric tonnes of blanket bog from Shell’s proposed gas refinery in Bellanaboy and dumped in a Bord Na Mona cutaway bog in Bangor Erris despite serious ecological concerns for such a venture. As karma or serendipity would have it, the great man himself was to hand when 13 Shell to Sea activists, prior to a picketing of his depot, were handing in a letter of protest to his docklands offices. Instead of hearing our plaints with a fair ear we were verbally abused, instead, and subjected to diplomacy of the bar room, redneck, kind ; “I’ll shove yer camera up yer arse” "Do ya have a job" etc, etc. So it goes. read full story / add a comment

Next Protest at Shannon Many people wonder why so few protesters turn up for protests at Shannon airport. They frequently ask why does'nt someone organise something. The answer to this is, why dont you? This is your airport too, and the children killed in Iraq and Afghanistan are all of our children. Please don't give up on this most serious of issues, please make it an issue in the comming election. We need weekly protests at Shannon airport on a continuous basis not only up to the election at the end of May but also afterwards, so that the next Government don't take our silence as agreement with Irish Government complicity in crimes against humanity. read full story / add a comment

The 24th of March 2007 was the 27th anniversary of the death of Archbishop Oscar Romero who was murdered in San Salvador at the orders of Roberto D'Aubisson. For the first time in 26 years the annual mass to commerorate him was refused permission in the friary of Adam and Eve's Church in Dublin. Adam and Eve's Church is a Franciscan Basillica on the Liffey quays just opposite the Four Courts and has educated many Missionaries who work in all parts of the world. Before Romero was murdered he was denounced by the Catholic church and ignored by the Carter Regime. http://demopedia.democraticunderground.com/index.php/Os...omero read full story / add a comment |
