Due to practical issues (stuff being scattered around various parts of Limerick and Dublin after coming out of prison), I am only now, with apologies to Karen, posting this letter she wrote in March. It's timely, however, after the Gardai's display at last night's peaceful sit-down protest, to remember that there is someone still in prison for civil disobedience relating to Shannon, refusing to co-operate with bail conditions on the basis that she does not believe she committed a criminal act. Five TDs and one senator agree, and called for our charges to be dropped at a press conference yesterday, along with those of Mary Kelly. In light of ed horgan's case before the high court, Karen's reflections on sections of the Irish constitution are also relevant and timely. - Deirdre. read full story / add a comment

First of all I want to repeat my sincere thanks for your invaluable work in publicising Indymedia in today’s Sunday Independent. Most other Irish media outlets take great pains to avoid mentioning the website despite the fact that it has fast become an invaluable resource for many journalists wanting to take the temperature of the new left in Ireland. You, single-handedly, have smashed down that particular wall of silence. Long may it continue. Oh and I nearly cracked up when I heard you repeat on Newstalk 106 the line from an Indymedia contributor about you not realising the danger to the brain of eating too many hamburgers. Mad Cowboy Disease indeed. read full story / add a comment

The night before the Saturday protest at Shannon Airport, I got an opportunity to take myself and my video camera along for the ride with Tim Hourigan, ed horgan and John Gormley and a 5/7 live journalist. They were going into Shannon airport for a close look at a US Military Hercules which they had observed landing at about 11pm. ed more or less drove straight past the checkpoint on the way in. We met Ryanair passengers who were coming off a flight from the UK as we approached the entrance to the terminal. Tim asked a couple if they knew the US Military were using the airport and if they knew that their plane had been parked next to a US Military Plane. They looked at us as if we were nuts and asked if we were taking the piss. We told them we weren't . Then they looked freaked. read full story / add a comment |
