An extraordinary community-teacher movement has been unfolding in Oaxaca, one of Mexico’s poorest, mostly Indigenous states. For months, 1.5 million people out of a population of 3.7 million have been on strike, have marched, held sit-ins and occupied radio and TV stations, to protest electoral fraud and the most violent repression Oaxaca state has ever seen. Women – teachers, housewives, students and others – have been prominent throughout. All sectors – priests, nuns, vendors, nurses, environmentalists and other professionals … are involved. .. read full story / add a comment

After our successful hijacking of the opening of the Woodie's DIY store in Limerick last week, the Limerick and Galway branches of the IPSC again combined forces, this time for an eight hour stint outside the boarded up Taffe's Sweater Shop in Shop Street yesterday. Fortunately, or unfortunately there was a coachload or two of Israeli tourists in town and a serious tranche of them were trigger happy and wanton with their spleen and denial when they chanced upon our Israeli Blood Diamonds petition/info table. read full story / add a comment

The man who was awarded the accolade "Mayoman of the Year" at a recent ceremony at the Burlington Hotel in Dublin was branded "unsatisfactory in the extreme" by a report of the Garda Síochána Complaints Board launched yesterday. The board's chairman, Dr Gordon Holmes, who is former State solicitor for Limerick City, drew attention to the fact that in more than half the cases where the Garda Commissioner's attention was drawn to breaches of discipline by Gardaí, absolutely no action was taken against the offender, meaning the exercise of complaining was rendered pointless. read full story / add a comment

Mayo County Council (MCC) came back before Judge Kenny on Tue 31st July, for a full hearing of their application for an order of injunction against the Rossport Solidarity Camp (RSC) to “cease the unauthorised development of lands between the foreshore and the Northern Boundary of the town land of Dooncarton/Glengad by erecting tents, buildings and other structures and ancillary facilities for camping or habitation”. On foot of an ‘ex-parte’ (without notice to the camp) application to Judge Donagh McDonagh on Fri 20th July, MCC were granted an ‘interim order of injunction’, claiming urgency that the camp was causing irreparable damage to part of the Glenamoy Bog Complex at Dooncarton/Glengad, a candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC). The camp dispute that any such damage is occurring and say that this cSAC is all the more protected by it’s presence, given Shell’s plans for the area, and where their unauthorised developments are allowed without planning permission, facilitated by MCC. read full story / add a comment

ILLEGAL Guns on sale OPENLY at the Galway Races while Bertie bets on the horses. Illegal firearms in the form of pellet guns with plastic bullets were on sale openly today at the Galway Races. Up to 15 stalls were observed selling three different types of guns from Handgun size to Rifle starting at 15 euro. Others including children were observed selling the illegal items from the back of vans. ‘These guns will no doubt be used to slaughter innocent cats, dogs and birds. The plastic orange bullets could also take a child’s eye out. We are disgusted at the Race organisers who obviously are turning a blind eye to this activity, along with a total disregard for the growing number of cruelty cases and deaths involved in Horse Racing. read full story / add a comment

The Law Reform Commission has today in the height of the balmy Irish Summer released a PDF doc. on the removing of conviction from personal record -after time lapse- The time mentioned in the report http://www.lawreform.ie is seven years. The time lapse being pertinent , but no mention of the the crime. Being Pernickety here but surely the type of crime removed from record is important too. Some sexual offences, for instance carry only six month sentences, such as custodial time for down-loading internet child porn. The issue of paedophilia and its sentences does not come into the report but constraints will be placed on the people who have been imprisoned for crime in sensitive areas such as in 'The Care of Children' read full story / add a comment
