The Covid response was not an error, and it was not the result of rushing to counter an unknown pathogen. It was a lot of people, mostly professionals, systematically doing what they knew was wrong, says Dr David Bell.

national / animal rights / press release Saturday August 29, 2009 18:02 by Bernie Wright   image 1 image
PANIC over Dog Breeding Regulations by those involved in Hunting and other blood sports.

Apparently the blood sports fraternity encompassing shooters, fox hunters, hare coursers and Greyhound breeders are terrified of having their establishments checked by officials of the Dept of the Environment when the dog Breeding regulations are incorporated into legislation shortly.~The Hunting Association of Ireland can be heard saying the Minister is going to ‘hang hunting’.
The AOHS would like to know what have these people got to hide. What have blood sports enthusiasts got hidden in their kennels? Why has panic been whipped up as a response to a simple bill that will make regulations to control Commercial Dog Breeding Establishments which are simply defined as any where that keeps five or more breeding female dogs. This will obviously include Hunt Kennels and others who breed dogs. Its simple!

Big business out to spend millions on Yes campaign

The pro-Lisbon political parties do not need to raise funds for the 'Yes' to Lisbon campaign. Big business is directly funding their side of the debate. The announcement that Intel and Ryanair will spend hundreds of thousands of euro to try to achieve a Yes vote in the upcoming Lisbon Treaty represents an unconcealed attempt by big business to shape politics in its favour.

Ryanair alone says it plans on spending over half a million Euro advertising for a pro-Lisbon vote, together with Intel that means up to a million Euro for a 'Yes' by only two private corporations.

national / history and heritage / news report Saturday August 29, 2009 12:23 by TaraWatch   image 5 images
The Irish Times reported on Friday, August 28 2009 that a 9,000 year old fishing trap was found in the Hill of Tara landscape at Clowanstown, near Dunsany, during excavations by the National Roads Authority (NRA), along the path of the M3 motorway. Settlement remains of agricultural, industrial and ritual nature were discovered amongst five man-made mounds, beside an ancient lake. Stone axes, jewellery and even a tiny wooden canoe were unearthed. The finds show once again that the Tara landscape masks an underground world of Irish pre-history, which should have been either left alone, or excavated as part of a proper research study, rather than as part of an archaeological salvage operation. read full story / add a comment

Dublin Demo: 31st August 1pm

Grafton Street Entrance to Stephens Green

Come along and take part in the international day of action to protect world heritage value ancient forests in Tasmania currently being destroyed for woodchips. The destruction is despite the unanimous resolution of 2008 World Heritage Committee calling upon the Australian Government to take steps to extend the boundaries of The Weld World Heritage Area.

In Dublin we’ll be putting pressure on the Australian government to extend World Heritage status to the remaining Ancient Forest in Tasmania. We’ll not be acting alone with demonstrations in, Switzerland, England, New Zealand, Scotland, and in cities throughout Australia, with the message ‘Tasmania’s Ancient Forest World Heritage Not Woodchips’ and ‘The Whole World Is Watching’.

This Tuesday I rang Cape Cod Times journalist Karen Jefferies, who had done an article on my candidacy in the European elections with details regarding the investigations into the misapplication of 3000 of my first preference votes to Declan Ganley's quota. She told me that she had just returned from the Kennedy compound where Ted Kennedy looked to only have a couple of weeks left. It was with great sadness that I received the news the following day that indeed Ted Kennedy had passed away, so I decided to put together the details of my only dealings with the late Senator from Massachusetts.

A vast untapped pool of ideas, innovation and enthusiasm lies patiently in waiting but with growing frustration. Instead of opening up the corridors of commentary, debate and decision-making to a dynamic new generation of thinkers and leaders (35% of the population is under 25) Ireland remains shackled to the fading authority of industry, politics and religion. While each of these traditional pillars is rapidly losing credibility, they still call the shots. read full story / add a comment

Demonstrators arrested in the recent uprisings, particularly those in Kahrizak Prison have been gang-raped and the prison guards have put them under medieval tortures. Many of the detainees, female or male, have died in rape rooms as a result of being repeatedly raped, due to rupture of uterus or rectum and intestinal bleeding. Still others, in or out of prison, are suffering from the resulting physical and psychological traumas of these acts of violence. We know that the torture and raping of prisoners are not confined to Kahrizak and to the recent events. Executions and murder of prisoners, rape and torture in the Islamic regime’s prisons are as old the regime itself.

SIPTU members at Coca Cola HBC Ireland Ltd are taking strike action in protest at the company’s plans to outsource the jobs of 130 distribution and warehousing staff in Dublin, Tuam, Waterford, Tipperary and Cork. Pickets were set up at the plants this week .

Last week Coca Cola HBC drivers and warehouse staff received letters from three private transport companies offering them new employment at greatly disimproved pay and working conditions and containing threats of redundancy.

Coca-Cola employs just over 1,200 staff in Ireland at its five main distribution centres. Earlier this year the company announced 130 jobs in the transport division would be outsourced to private transport companies saying that outsourcing is necessary to cut costs and safeguard other jobs
