The National Animal Rights Association staged another protest outside the Pearl Brasserie, on Saturday 12th July.

We stayed there for over 2hours, had no hassle whatsoever on the night, and received a lot of support from passers-by.

No Gardai were called, and the protest went without incident.

We have already gotten 4 restaurants to stop serving this dish of cruelty, and we won't stop until we get a total ban on the import of foie gras in Ireland.

If you'd like to get involved in our campaigns, or know of any restaurant not on our list that is serving foie gras, please get in touch. read full story / add a comment

It is believed the long-standing Drogs fan, aged about 50 shouted ‘n****r’ and other racist comments at Drogheda’s Senegal-born striker Ibrahima Iyane Thiam during the recent home game against Sligo Rovers.

Iyane Thiam, starting a game at United Park for the first time, was unaware of the tirade, but stewards moved in to evict the man after he was reported by other Drogheda supporters who had heard the vile remarks. read full story / add a comment

I believe that the deal between Dublin City council and JC Decaux, swapping the space on public footpaths for 126 billboards in exchange for a couple of hundred bikes has all the hallmarks of a corrupt deal. I simply cannot believe that, knowing the facts that are public, that any local authority in the country would agree to this deal, without someone in charge being either blackmailed or bribed to agree to it. read full story / add a comment

Over the past few years i have raised in indymedia the damage done to the working class movement by left sectarianism and advocated that attempts be made by left groups and left activists to work together much more. For this I have been attacked and slandered by the leadership of the old organization of which I was a part, the Socialist Party in Ireland. I am very glad to see that the Socialist party in Britain now appears to be taking steps in the direction of trying to work together with other groups on the left. I hope when I raise this again i will not be treated as some sort of heretic. Comradely, John Throne. read full story / add a comment
