I stand in full solidarity with the brave participants of Occupy Los Angeles and I support the immediate release of all protesters.
 
As of this writing, close to 300 people have been held on up to $5000 bail for simply practicing their first amendment rights of assembly and freedom of speech. This is unacceptable. All protestors should be freed. read full story  / add a comment

The rate of job destruction has accelerated in the quarter July to September
2011. On a seasonally adjusted basis, employment fell by 20,500 (-1.1%) in
the quarter. This follows on from a seasonally adjusted fall in employment
of 4,100 (-0.2%) in Q2 2011. This means that 20,500 more jobs were destroyed
than were created in the quarter.  Minister Bruton's "Job Creation" measures
had already been introduced in June. The continuation of the FF/Green
austerity programme by Lab/FG destroyed far more jobs than were created(if
any) by the Bruton measures. read full story  / add a comment

Michael D's facade as a progressive is quickly fading away after he got where he wanted to be. After honouring those soldiers fighting for the Union Jack hand in hand with that bigot Kevin Myers, now he salutes Irish Troops part of UNIFIL, the UN occupying force in Southern Lebanon. read full story  / add a comment

The Spectacle of Hope of Hope and Defiance on December 10th was visually and audibly wonderful but the exclusion of political parties was ultimately in the interests only of the social democrats, who sponsored the event. read full story  / add a comment

A new image from Hartigans bar on All-Ireland day 1995 has emerged depicting an apparently innocent scene of a trio enjoying a chat. Innocent that is until the lady is identified as none other than Mother Ireland herself and the chat in question was about how much she cost!

Supporters of Focus Ireland sent almost 3,000 e-mails to TDs and Senators calling for the appointment of a new Minister for Housing and Homelessness to have a voice in deciding the contents of the budget. Unfortunately, the Government decided not to make that appointment before budget day, but the high level of public scrutiny on the issue ensured that the homeless budget was largely protected. While so many areas of expenditure were being cut, the cuts to services to end homelessness were relatively small. So thank you for that support. It shows we can make a difference. read full story  / add a comment

The Irish Government took a case to the European Commission on Human Rights (Ireland v. United Kingdom) regarding the introduction of internment without trial and the treatment of Irish political prisoners of conscience in British Occupied Ireland. The European Commission stated that it "considered the combined use of the five methods to amount to torture, on the grounds that (1) the intensity of the stress caused by techniques creating sensory deprivation "directly affects the personality physically and mentally"; and (2) "the systematic application of the techniques for the purpose of inducing a person to give information shows a clear resemblance to those methods of systematic torture which have been known over the ages..a modern system of torture falling into the same category as those systems.applied in previous times as a means of obtaining information and confessions." read full story  / add a comment

Is is justifiable to be a member of the catholic church with its history of child abuse cover up, anti women ideology, pro capitalist policies? All those who supported McQuaid and opposed the mother and child scheme have to condemned. They slunk away before the catholic church with their tails between their legs. They "proved" that Paisley and his ilk were correct that the South was a catholic state. they have blood on their hands.  read full story  / add a comment
