'Glengad belongs to us, the community. It's worth any price to defend it' - Maura Harrington.

Members of the public in a packed Belmullet District Courtroom clapped and cheered as applications to Judge Mary Devins to disqualify herself were made by Shell to Sea lay litigants Niall Harnett and Eoin O'Leidhin in person, and by solicitor Alan Gannon on behalf of a number of his clients which include Pat 'the Chief' O'Donnell and Maura Harrington who all face charges relating to different incidents which happened late last summer in opposition to Shell's failed efforts to lay pipe at Glengad.

Niall Harnett was physically removed by Gardai from the court when he interrupted Judge Devins to say that the 'allegations' against her were “well warranted and true”. “Vicious, Unprecedented, Personal & Unwarranted” is how Judge Mary Devins is quoted in media as having responded to “the attack” of applications against her. But Midwest Radio news reported that Judge Devins denied that she gave any instruction to have Mr Harnett evicted from the courtroom. read full story / add a comment

Brian Lenihan’s emergency supplementary bludget brings the curtain down on Ireland’s pantomime of excess. The workforce in Ireland willingly accepted twelve years of wage slavery when the goodies compensated for the grind, and the illusion of perpetual growth became the powerful myth underpinning the new consumer religion.

More unreckonable years of wage slavery or welfare dependence await, as the personal and public debts accumulated during the boom must be paid for. read full story / add a comment

I want to argue that Fianna Fail has essentially cooked (and I mean boil rapidly) the books - insofar as their strategy to bring the deficit under control by 2013 rests on numbers that cannot work in the material world.

This might seem a bit academic but this will show in a way that no one else has done that deflation cannot work at any level - not at the level of arresting economic decline, job losses, living standards; and not even the deficit. This is the real debate - can deflation work? Fianna Fail's own bookeeping shows it can't.

Irish workers will bail out the bankers and the speculators following a decisive emergency budget. All workers will have reduced spending power as a result of tax increases while a new agency has been established to buy up “bad assets” with Government bonds. The income levy introduced in September has been doubled as has the health levy and minimum wage workers have been brought into the income tax system.

Take home pay will be reduced for all workers in May. The deficit between Government income and expenditure is massive due to the bursting of the property bubble, banking mismanagement and the policy of positioning the country as the most “open” economy in Europe. That policy ensured that Ireland would be the most vulnerable to fluctuations in the globalised economy. Government borrowing will be over 10% of national income this year, but the main source of income to fix the problem is the increase in direct personal taxation.
