Brendan O'Donnell died in the central mental hospital a young man (~ 23) about 10 years ago. Whatever happened him the event set alarm bells ringing in my mind. Is it too late now (or too soon?) to seek a transparent public account of his death and how it came about? He was a triple murderer, physically strong and, as far as I know, suicide was not a factor. read full story / add a comment

Tony Wilson had a heart attack this week & after suffering prolonged illness died comfortably yesterday in Manchester. He was a hoot. He played records, he did telly, he started record companies, he made glitzy crap, he started the Hacienda club, he play his part in so many roles. Most of them of such importance to our contemporary culture and media that at first it's just too easy to think he had the long difficult death coming and it doesn't matter if people don't make or do that sort of music or telly or if Manchester still isn't free. He was 57 years of age. It is highly unlikely that such an entrepeneurial professional gobshite will ever arrive on the scene with such ironic affability. May he rest in peace. read full story / add a comment ![]()

In a story from the Moscow News today, the deputy head of Russia's environmental agency denied that Shell had tried to bribe him by offering him fifty million dollars. He wanted to state clearly that he couldn't say for sure that it was Shell, only that "someone" had tried to arrange a meeting with him in Switzerland to discuss the possibility of suspending enviromental checks on the Sakhalin project. No actual amount of money was mentioned either. So that's clear then. It all brings to mind our own Frank Fahy, a former teacher who has managed to amass a huge property portfolio. Didn't Frank have some Moscow links of his own at one stage? see also www.indymedia.ie/article/76360 read full story / add a comment ![]()

Having had our bags stolen in Belfast many years ago, we got invited to Anderstown social club by some fellas who had tried to stop the snatchers and we went to the club. It is a memory etched onto my brain and says something important about community memory and retaining those places for the upcoming generations of this Our Island. Politically naive southerners like myself did not know the North of Ireland, nor where it was 'safe' to go , back in the nineties; but you learn quickly enough. our hiking trip coincided with some appalling tragedies and personal dangers that are largely gone. The London type taxis Which were 50p were operating and some drivers were being sniped on call-out. read full story / add a comment

This important conference provides activists of all hues with a chance to reflect on the sources of violence in our culture. It aims to combine contributions from exciting and innovative theorists with the lived experience of grassroots resisters. Periods of reflection and sharing of experience and theory are often underestimated as a source of strength and wisdom, particularly in anti-war activism. I would therefore urge anyone who feels they have something to say about resistance to mainstream cultural imperatives that ask us to tolerate violence to think about contributing to this conference. If you do not feel able to do so, please think about attending and participating more informally. The information is below. The Institute for Feminism and Religion is a not-for-profit organisation. This is a non-commercial event; the conference fee is purely to cover the costs of running it. read full story / add a comment

Rooming in’ involves the care of a newborn infant in a cot near the mother’s bed instead of in a nursery during their hospital stay. This has very many positive advantages for the mother and baby in terms of bonding and getting to know the new baby’s routine in the early days of its life and also the instant availability of the mother for feeding, a recognised bonding time be it bottle or breast. Rooming in also has many advantages for maternity hospitals in terms reduction in requirements for nursery spaces in hospitals and therefore, reduction in numbers of staff required to supervise the nurseries and take care of the infants. Most Irish maternity hospitals operate a full rooming in policy but the question is - Do Irish Maternity Hospitals support rooming in? read full story / add a comment |
