Saturday 28 April 2007 was a quiet day at Shannon. Relatively few civilian passengers going through (most civilian customers of Shannon have been attracted to Dublin airport over the past few years). The US military are once again increasing their use or abuse of Shannon airport, in a supposedly neutral state. Three US warplanes were present at Shannon, one North American US troop carrier, one US military executive jet, which could be carrying anyone from a US general guilty of war crimes in Iraq or Afghanistan or prisoners for torture to or from Guantanamo.
Now is the time to make Ireland's complicity in crimes against humanity an election issue.

Over the last few months, most of the Irish media has been resolutely ignoring the continuing confrontations in Rossport, Co. Mayo. Meanwhile, the world has been waking up to the struggle - with the award of 125,000 euros to Willie Corduff and Al Jazeera sent a film crew to spend several days investigating the matter. Their documentary is due to be screened tonight and for the next three days on Al Jazeera English. read full story / add a comment

The death of Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich the world famed cellist hsa been reported. He was 80 years of age. With his passing the age of great cellists ends. It is odd that this week the world has turned to writing obituaries of Boris Yeltsin and recalling the foiled coup d'etat attempt which brought Yeltsin to prominence. But many will not know that Rostropovich known as Slava to his students, admirers and friends was one of the key figures within Moscow's government buildings who inspired Yeltsin to climb up on the tank. If Slava had climbed up on the tank - things would have been different. He was a master who knew that. May he rest in Peace.

It's always worth keeping an eye on what is happening in government departments during the dying days of an administration. Minister Noel Dempsey has promised a number of times to review the terms under which licences are awarded, but to date, nothing has been announced. But sharp-eyed visitors to the Department of Marine website will have noticed that there was a slight change today.

The "lustration' Law- a Joint initiative by the 'twins' which allows the Polish State to have powers to investigate ' communist-era' collusion has had its first victim.

The law which provides for anyone born before the first of January 1972 to testify/sign write that they colluded with communism can result in loss of profession and security.

The twins are busily repeating the Mistakes and crimes of that era Under another title.

During today’s solidarity action the Catalan flag (Estelada) was raised on Free Derry Wall as a symbolic gesture of solidarity to the Catalan people as part the ‘300 years of occupation- 300 years of resistance’ campaign.

As part of the event protesters wore white masks on which the Spanish Flag was placed over their mouths, symbolizing the continual denial of the rights such as self-determination and sovereignty of the Catalan people as a nation.

Following the event at Free Derry Corner protesters distributed information leaflets in Derry's city centre. read full story / add a comment
