Today, in strength, Galway's Amnesty International activists took to William Street to protest over the obscenity that every year throughout the world, more than half a million people are killed by armed violence – that’s one person every minute and to let the Irish government and UN know that there is a solution; a legally binding, rigorously enforced, international Arms Trade Treaty that will seriously kybosh the flow of arms to countries that use them to read full story / add a comment

A press release issued by UCD Alliance for Choice on Friday hasbeen repeatedly deleted by UCDSUs editorial group. Like indymedia, UCDSUs news wire uses the oscailt program. Unlike Indymedia however despite stating that : "A record of all editorial actions, which editor performed the action and the reason for it are sent the editorial email list which anybody can join. So if you want to keep an eye on the evil censorships of the UCD SU-cabal, you know what to do. Subscribing to this list means you will see all articles and comments which have been hidden and the reason why they were hidden. After subscribing, you can then go through the archives of the list to see all past editorial actions" UCDSU operates no such system. There is no open, transparent accountable editorial list. The previous UCDSU administration has used an editorial e-mail list. The current SU president is a member of Ogra Fianna Fail. read full story / add a comment

A large group of Shell to Sea activists attempted to return a section of the Corrib Gas pipeline to the Statoil Office at the IFSC today, as part of a campaign to draw public attention to Statoil's role in supporting Shell in their continuing attempts to install a dangerous experimental raw-gas pipeline in North Mayo. The Gardaí, supported by a large number of private secirity guards, prevented the pipeline being brought into the office, and many office workers from the surrounding businesses came out to watch the stand off. Normally activists are not able to even leaflet in the IFSC, since it is private property, but today leaflets were handed out, stickers were put up, and the security guards were powerless to interfere with the protest. For a lot of the workers in the financial services district, the protest provided a colourful distraction from the demands of their office jobs. No one from Statoil was prepared to meet with the protesters or take delivery of the pipeline however, although one Statoil Executive did come to the phone, to say that the building security guards would not let any of the protesters enter, and he wasn't interested in leaving the building, since didn't feel there was anything to be gained by speaking to people in group situations, because he'd had bad experiences before. He went on to say that the Irish people should be satisfied with the deal that their government had got for them, where they receive 25% tax, although he conceded that since the billions of euros spent in exploration can be written off, it will be many years before a cent of tax is paid, if ever. Shell to Sea plan further protests on Norwegian Constitution Day, May 17th. read full story / add a comment

Micheál Ó Seighin, Willie Corduff, Brendan Philbin, and Philip and Vincent McGrath were brought before the courts again today to receive the final judgement from Justice Joseph Finnegan, the President of the High Court.

A very successful protest took place outside the Leinster Regional Final of Blast Beat which took place in the Issacc Butt last Saturday. Hundreds of school students took part in the event which was sponsored by Coca Cola. However the boycott killer coke campaign ensured that this sponsorship by Coke backfired with the company getting negative publicity about their appalling human rights abuses in Colombia where several coke workers have been assasinated because they were union members and activists. read full story / add a comment

Oh well we should have seen it coming. It seems that if the there isn't a "return to institutions" in the north by the 24th of November 2006, ( those institutions agreed under the "peace process" of 1998 blaa blaa) [and not to be confused with the institutions which met in the same building {Stormont} from 1921 - 1972 ] the people who don't do anything there, other than steal each other's shredded office waste, will GO WITHOUT THEIR PAY! not a penny of a pound nor centimo of a Euro, nor a shilling more will be paid them. ____________________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

I attended the Cosantoiri. Siochana-organised meeting last Saturday. It ran from about 2pm to 5.30pm and, while initially intended, I believe, to widen involvement in CS, it was transformed for various reasons into a 'coordinating meeting' for diverse anti-war activists and groups. This transformation occurred largely as a consequence of discussion on a thread on indymedia.ie following the recent Dublin anti-war march. So, my observations… read full story / add a comment
