The European Court for Human Rights today held that Poland was in violation of
the human Rights of Alicja Tysiak who had sought an abortion due to a medical
condition which had caused irreversible eye damage.

She had been refused a certificate authorising the abortion, which had left her
forced to continue with the pregnancy.

By Law Poland allows women to have abortions when their health is in danger, in the
Tysiac case the Polish State had failed to meet with it's legal obligation.

The City Of Derry Airport is expected to be the first in Europe to officially ban controversial CIA flights transporting terror suspects to secret prisons, it emerged today.
The publicly-owned airport confirmed it is working out the practicalities of an ``anti-rendition'' policy after discussions with Amnesty International.

At the minute the practicalities of this are being looked at by council officers with a view to bringing a motion before the council - I obviously hope we can do that

On parts of the continent and in the UK, garden allotments are popular- if you live in a flat or don't have access to a garden it's a great way to grow your own veggies, get more self- sufficient and keep money out of the pockets of big supermarkets. In the UK they cost anything from £16-£50 a year to rent.
It will not be possible for much longer to transport food from the other side of the planet due to the rising cost of oil and gas, and besides this is not environmentally sustainable. In addition, harvests are failing or producing less due to chaotic climate change. As a result the cost of food is and will continue to climb.

The age old-adage that nobody celebrates quite like the Irish rang true this weekend. As is common during Irish festivals a large proportion of the population chose the local pub as the most appropriate venue to celebrate our patron saint. However, reports of over two hundred arrests relating to drink driving and eight fatalities on our roads this weekend leads this writer to question why in this day and age do we still refuse to follow the rules and ask is it not time we started to celebrate a little less haphazardly and a little more sensibly? read full story / add a comment
