Cancer Services in Kerry General Hospital are to be removed and relocated to Cork. There will supposedly be a better system of care there under one of several national ‘centres of excellence’. But that means that patients from Kerry could have a two-hour trip each way (or longer) to access treatment. That is in direct contradiction to the HSE’s statements that care of patients should be given as close to their homes as possible, and that there should be a greater emphasis on delivery of care in the local community. Long trips on top of treatments and trauma can hardly constitute excellent care. read full story / add a comment

A small group of Shell to Sea activists scaled the heights of the Department of Natural Resources today, to place a banner reading PROTECT IRISH NATURAL RESOURCES on the balcony outside Eamon Ryan's office. Splitting into two small teams, the protesters used advice from GreenPeace to distract the security and gain access to the Minister's top floor office and leave a message for him. read full story / add a comment

The area of linguistic rights and access to education from grassroot mobile library services through to prisoner's rights has always been a concern of the International Pen Union. Often the media, expecially in Ireland, would tend to ignore many of the press releases which along with Reporter's Sans Frontieres, IFEX, and other NGO groups have consistently attempted to highlight the dangers to the lives of writers in War regions and to those who advocate basic human rights to dignity and right of access to education. read full story / add a comment

Sean Hoey was found not guilty yesterday of involvement in the bombings which claimed twenty nine lives in Omagh on August 15, 1998. Justice Weir at Belfast Crown Court said police were guilty of a "deliberate and calculated deception" in their handling of the investigation. Despite having been held in prison on remand for four years ,Hoey has received no apologies from the judiciary , police , politicians or press who have allowed the young electrician to be scapegoated to cover up for the role of intelligence agencies in the bombings . Relatives of the bombing victims have vowed to continue their fight to bring the truth about what happened on that tragic afternoon to light. Justice Weir’s indictment of the police and Hoey’s acquittal square with the findings of Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan whose report in 2002 said that the RUC deliberately ignored crucial intelligence that, if acted upon, could have averted the tragedy. read full story / add a comment

Recently Domino's pizza store workers in Wolverhampton and Derby earned negative wages after working for a month. Bosses had charged them extortionate amounts for rent and insurance to cheat them out of their wages. It leaves no doubt as to how Domino’s makes their £700 million every year. To highlight this scandal Socialist Youth in Belfast organised a stall outside a local Domino’s on the Antrim Road on a busy Friday night. We received a warm response from customers to our leaflets. The response of Domino’s however was to ring the police. There is nothing criminal about campaigning for an £8 an hour minimum wage, but the actions of Domino’s in England should be considered criminal read full story / add a comment

At the end of October, the influential Conservative-linked thinktank Policy Exchange published a report entitled The Hijacking of British Islam, which claimed that 26 out of nearly 100 mosques surveyed had been found to be selling "extremist material, some of it antisemitic, misogynistic, separatist and homophobic". Seamus Milne from the Guardian questions the veracity of the report and the motivation of its authors in light of statistics which show that Asian people are now twice as likely to be stabbed to death in Britain as a decade ago, and four out of five convictions for religiously aggravated offences last year involved attacks on Muslims. read full story / add a comment

Coke is certainly the real thing, once again it is using Rightwing Death-squads to terrorise and murder workers. In the last fortnight, three Coca-Cola workers in Bucaramanga, Colombia have been told that before the end of December they will be killed and buried in a mass grave. The threat demands that their union cease all protest against Coca-Cola. read full story / add a comment

Every year the NYT issues "quotes of the year", hardly newsworthy for us lot who generally ignore the list which is awash with Bush gaffes & gurglings. But this year is different because Bush hasn't even made the top ten & the number one quote goes to a story which excited our interest & in its own way became a milestone in extended policing issues. I refer of course to the taser-ing of a student who heckled John Kerry whose immortal line " Don't Tase me Bro! " not only gave us a new verb with which to enjoy the usual holiday season scrabble sessions but was watched on youtube by hundreds of thousands of people just like yourself. read full story / add a comment
