Political Quiz:

You were the Fianna Fáil Minister for Finance during the last few years. There is a massive economic crash landing happening because of your policies, which focused economic activity on selling houses to each other rather than building up things like education, culture, home grown industry etc. What do you do now?

1.Make the poor pay- strip funding from pensioners, students, schoolkids and the under-priviliged.

2.Blame the international situation.

3.Blame the people who voted against Lisbon.

4. Put your hands up, admit your mistakes, and invest in basic services which will make the recession a bit more bearable for everyone.

(hint- this is Fianna Fáil remember...)

Anyway, at least he's not Enda Kenny. read full story / add a comment

It was probably the most important anti-war action to happen in Ireland this century – and it was certainly the most daring.

At Shannon Airport five people took on the might of the US military – and put a Navy war-plane out of action. Even more amazingly, they ultimately convinced a jury that to do so was not a crime.

But the story of the Shannon Five has hardly been told, until now. For the first time, a new book reveals the inside story of an intrepid act of peacemaking. read full story / add a comment

Inspired by the recent climate camps in Britain, there have been some meetings to discuss the possibility of having a similar camp in Ireland in 2009. There have been two of these meetings so far (one in Dublin and one in Cork).

The camp's purpose will be to address diverse social justice, environmental, climate issues and to be a catalyst for movement building in this country. The guiding principles of 'Direct Action' and non-hierarchical consensus based decision making will apply. We are appealing for people to get involved, and help make it happen. We are currently still at the discussion stages, so now is a good time to get involved and be part of the decision making process of what the main focus of the camp will be. We intend to make this camp as inclusive as possible.

In the first Free Education for Everyone protest in Trinity, around 150 students turned up to send a clear message of opposition to fees to Batt O’Keeffe, the Minister for Education. However, in the second SU leader betrayal of the week, the Students’ Union President, Cathal Reilly welcomed O’Keeffe to the college with a handshake and a smile. read full story / add a comment
