The Bantry Concerned Action Group want the ESB to put this 14km stretch of powerline underground, as is the accepted norm now internationally, for health and safety reasons. Know this … pylons and overhead lines cause leukaemia and cancer. Following the recent high court injunction granted to the ESB against 6 Bantry landowners, effective from last Thursday June 1st, local residents, inspired by the Rossport Five, are committed to treating this injunction with the contempt it deserves and will be blockading any attempts by the ESB to start work on their land from tomorrow Tuesday 6th June onwards. read full story / add a comment

The Sunday Independent today exposes The Sun and Daily Mail’s cynical hypocrisy in giving their two audiences in Ireland and Britain totally opposite messages with regard to Ken Loach’s prize-winning film ‘The Wind that Shakes the Barley’. The film depicts the brutal nature of Britain’s war against Irish Independence between 1919-21 and the subsequent Civil War conflict. In Britain The Sun boldly states Loach's film to be “the most pro IRA ever” and the Daily Mail asks “Why does” the “Marxist” film’s director Ken Loach “loath his country so much”. In the ‘Irish’ editions of these British tabloids, on the other hand, the film is an “Irish success” story. The Sunday Independent wants to associate with the national "success" and to denounce its rivals' imperial "sneer" at the same time. However, the Sunday Independent simultaneously exposes its own schizophrenia while doing so. It manages to deliver exactly the same conflicting messages in the one newspaper, the story of Irish success and also a “sneer” at this success. How so? Read on. read full story / add a comment |
