China has cancelled Christmas in Hong Kong this year. Officials have ordered that the usual celebrations be 'toned down'. It's part of a creeping intolerance that leaves churches fearing for the future, says John MacNab.

In advance of the annual USI Congress, Red Wedge previewed proceedings with an article "What is to be done with the Union of Students in Ireland?" In this article, he offers an eyewitness account of the event and some thoughts on the future of the student movement.

It soon becomes clear that McGuirk - a former officer of the Freedom Institute who has been involved with both Ogra Fianna Fail and young Fine Gael, is too progressive for many of the 200 or so delegates who represent student unions from across Ireland. His plea for USI to continue its link with SIPTU and for the annual congress not to axe the deputy president position who co-ordinates campaigns is warmly received by the UCD delegation. No one else in the hall welcomes these words. Maurice Roes contribution is interrupted by regular applause. His final bit of auction politics in his call for support is that he will ensure that a new website will be constructed if he is elected-sets the congress on fire. read full story / add a comment

Erased from the historical record for many years (literally in the case of Elizabeth O'Farrell) the women of the 1916 to 1923 period of Irish history are starting to be recognised once again for the important role they played in the struggle for Irish freedom.

Today in Dublin, a local history group organised a commemoration of the brave women who fought alongside the men in the fight against British rule and the establishment of the Free State. The march was led by a colour party of women wearing the uniforms of Cumann na mBán and the Irish Citizens Army. Photographs of many of the women were carried on the march. read full story / add a comment

Venezuela has an interesting relationship with the energy giant Shell. They actually force them to pay taxes, and when they submit estimates which the govt doesn't believe, they audit them and present them with a bill. Today they told Shell to pay back over thirteen million dollars that the company was trying to weasel out of from 2005.

The Irish government, of course, has a more compliant attitude to the big energy companies... read full story / add a comment

Only 5 per cent, or one in 20, of 15 to 24-year-olds could quote the first of the 10 Commandments when interviewed for a new survey in Ireland.

Almost one-third (32 per cent) could not say where Jesus was born and more than one-third (35 per cent) did not know what is celebrated at Easter.

These are among the findings, published today, of an opinion poll conducted last December and January by Lansdowne Market Research for the (Catholic) Iona Institute and the (Protestant) Evangelical Alliance Ireland group. The survey involved a representative sample of 950 people nationwide. read full story / add a comment
