The Moriarity Tribunal has given us a clear indication of the past state of Irish politics. if we are to learn anything, it should be that political life must be more carefully scrutinised and that initatives proposed by politicians must be more openly debated before taxpayers are asked to pay for such proposals. Charlie was not a bad man, he was just give toys to play with and his friends made the game more real. read full story / add a comment

The world today is in no doubt as to the criminal status of the illegal detention centre of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The past three years have not only witnessed unprecedented assaults on the founding principles of the USA by the Bush regime, but also on international law and convention. The government of the USA is clearly rogue, a fact in which its officials delight. The contempt the neo-cons display for their own citizens is only exceeded by the extreme disdain they exhibit toward the international community. Each day that Guantanamo Bay remains operational is a day of unspeakable psychological horror, torture and injustice. read full story / add a comment

Consider joining the Catholic Workers as they vigil and leaflet outside the Aviation Authority. The Aviation Authority authorises the refueling of CIA torture flights and the 3,000 (presently) U.S. troops passing through Shannon Airport weekly to an illegal invasion and occupation of Iraq.

If you are opposed to the war, consider making your opposition visible one hour a week in your community, on your campus or outside a site of significance. read full story / add a comment

While the government is busily celebrating the greed festival that are SSIAs, (the scheme by which the already well off are made even more well off by the much less well off) they are showing a much less generous attitude to the hapless folk who have gone online to order a few cheap CDs and DVDs from other countries – almost certainly Christmas presents in most cases.

national / animal rights / press release Monday December 18, 2006 18:34 by Bernie Wright   text 2 comments (last - wednesday december 27, 2006 19:52)
The Captive Animals' Protection Society and Alliance for Animal Rights have renewed their criticism of the Arts Council for again funding animal circuses, shortly after a major report detailing the poor conditions animals are subjected to in Irish circuses.

The Arts Council today announced they had given 230,000 Euros to circuses for 2007, 100,000 Euros more than in 2006.

The circuses funded include Duffy’s and Fossett’s, both of which use animals. Both CAPS and AFAR have called into question the Arts Council claim that circuses have to provide a copy of their ‘animal welfare policy’ when applying for funding. The Arts Council have refused to give CAPS copies of the policies and AFAR believe they do not exist.
