The Irish Penal Reform Trust has questioned why Justice Minister McDowell is privatising the prisoner escort service when a report produced by his own Department found that “privatisation of prisoner escorts is not a viable option”. The IPRT further asked on what basis the Minister has made this decision when he himself admits, “no detailed research was undertaken into the experience of privatised prisoner transport in other jurisdictions.” read full story / add a comment

Now that it looks likely barring some last minute change of heart that the DCTU will vote down the ATGWU motion caling for a march and work stoppage during working hours at their meeting tomorrow night it's time to really up the ante on these lazy pro-partnership parasites starting a picket/lobby of these DCTU delegates outside Liberty Hall, Eden Quay tomorrow (Tuesday the 11th) night at 7.30pm. Also no matter who's organising it I'm appealing to everyone to support "The Nationwide Day Of Action Against The Bin Tax And The Jailings" on Friday, November 21st. Remember Jim Larkin's tried and trusted motto "An attack on one is an attack on all!" read full story / add a comment

"The leaders of the various leftist groups have decided not to participate in a site they regard as beneath their dignity. They know that they will be attacked by ireful posters in disrespectful and probably vulgar and abusive terms. The rank and file of the various vanguard revolutionary parties are obviously discouraged from going to have a look-see. Those who do speak-up for their parties usually (though not always) sign on anonymously." read full story / add a comment

COMMUNITY Alliance are pleased that due to the defection of Ald. McGarry to the Labour Party and the comments reported in the Sligo Champion that he has been a closet Socialist for many years, the opportunity now exists to have the refuse collection service taken back under the control of the borough council in line with Labour Party policy. read full story / add a comment |
