The issue of the RTE 'Documentary'- 'Fairytale of Kathmandu', (which I must confess to

activity of a splendid poet. Interesting letter in the Times today by a regular contributor
to indymedia as well. I shall publish an extract in a minute. read full story / add a comment

Since Michael McDowell changed the law to impose strict penalties on members of the Garda Siochána who talk to journalists, there has not been any legal way for members to report malpractice, except through using internal channels. Experience has shown that the gardaí can be extremely unsupportive of those who seek to draw attention to failings of their colleagues.

While some people have expressed disbelief at whether a political appointee can be be truly trusted to be independent of political influence, those who can remember the evidence heard in a case in the High Court in 2006 have wondered whether the particular person chosen will be able to inspire confidence in the rank and file gardaí. read full story / add a comment

The captains for 2008 are Ann Davey and Michael Shields - both keen and energetic golfers. Ann is from NI while Michael is from the republic. read full story / add a comment

Feel free to circulate this text at will. It might not mean much but if you think it could make a difference somewhere then post it there, or write your own version. Those in the most ideal positions of our national press are not investigating this issue. The people on the ground only have so much time to spread around each day. It is up to you to provide whatever you think we need, we'll accept all the help we can get. read full story / add a comment

Last Wednesday 5 March, Sheena Campbell Ogra Shinn Fein hosted the opening event to remember the 20th anniversary of the Gibraltar 3, at Queens University Belfast.

It began with a black flag vigil outside the university front gates for 30 minutes as a mark of respect to those killed in Gibraltar and Milltown.

Following the vigil there was a talk and a showing of a film in Queens University.

The speakers at the event were Seamus Finucane, partner of Mairead Farrell when she was tragically killed, Jennifer McCann MLA, who was a close comrade of Mairead having been imprisoned with her in Armagh Gaol, she was also a close friend of Dan McCann, and West Tyrone MLA Barry McElduff who was a student at Queens, at the time of the Gibraltar 3’s death.

Ogra activist Eunan Carlin, chaired proceedings.
