April 7th to 13th is Latin America Week – a week full of opportunities to learn about, discuss and experience different elements of Latin American culture, history and politics. It is organised nationally by the Latin America Solidarity Campaign, and this year UL Socialist Youth is adding our support to others in UL to make this the best one yet.

This year there will be movie showings on Tuesday and Thursday, a music workshop and play on Wednesday, a salsa night in the sports bar on the Thursday and Latin American food on Friday. Full details will be posted up soon.

As well as all this UL Socialist Youth are hosting a public talk on the Monday with Enrique Galan, a Colombian activist, and Dave Convery, an Irish socialist just back from 6 months in Latin America. In preparation for Latin America Week I interviewed Dave about his time in Latin America: read full story / add a comment

Around 60 or 70 people rioted in Finglas in Dublin last night. Cars were burned and crashed into roadside barriers. A large force of police engaged in running battles with the rioters, and twelve people were arrested.

Local people allege that the riots were a "celebration" of the release from prison of a local criminal. Others have claimed that the easy availability of alcohol, coupled with the complete absence of any meaningful activities for youths in the area, were the cause of the trouble. read full story / add a comment

This morning, the St Patrick's flag flutters in front of Limavady Orange hall in Co. Derry. The Irish flag of St Patrick, not often seen even in northern Irish Unionist districts, is a diagonal red cross against a white background. When combined with the English Cross of St George (a red cross against a white background, often seen at English football matches and on nationalist rallies in Georgia in eastern Europe) and the Scottish Cross of St Andrew (a diagonal white cross against a blue background) you get the British Union Flag, known colloquially as the "Union Jack". read full story / add a comment

The viable crucifixion uses nails through the arms & holds the body in foetal position

Tonight the BBC will air the first part of their 2008 "Passion" drama in which Simon Elliott the production designer has chosen to depict a "historically accurate" crucifixion as possible. ""He was probably put on a crude wooden gibbet and made to stand in a loose, foetal position. It was fiendishly designed."" says Mr Elliott who admits his work might offend Christians who like the traditional nails through the hands & feet image of a muscular sort of chap who manages to just hang there without suffocation or his hands being ripped apart.

Pretty gruesome stuff you'll agree. You might even believe in it. In which case you ought jam the BBC switchboard tonight & write letters using the trusty name "disgusted". read full story / add a comment

Have heard from two reliable sources that Squeek has left the tunnel at Rath Lugh. She left with Gardai and some of her family present. The Gardai have taken her away from the site as far as I am aware.

Here's hoping for 100 to take her place. Tara is THE symbol of dead-end corruption and anti-democratic government in Ireland. The dictatorship of the developers. Pitting people against each other.

Well done Squeek. Takes a lot of nerve. read full story / add a comment

The Breast cancer unit at Mayo General Hospital is to be phased out under the HSE
policy of Professor Brendan Drumm, many who travelled to the Breast cancer protest
in buses and stood in the cold to highlight lack of services to the North-West will be heavily
disappointed in the decision for the scheduled phase-out. Mostly they will be disappointed
in the TD whom they elected who upholds the decision of the 'medical men' who know
best. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/85161
Ms Flynn was at that protest, she most purposefully strode across the road to listen
to the women speak and then she turned her back on them to support Mary Harney
and the HSE. read full story / add a comment
