CRH, formerly known as Cement Roadstone Holdings, "fully committed to human rights" and supporting "the principles as set out in the articles of the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights" http://www.crh.ie/crhcorp/about/employeescode/english_c...e.pdf is deeply complicit in war crimes in the occupied West Bank with the holding company, the Mashav Group - in which CRH has a 25% stake - through Nesher Cement supplying cement for Israel's Apartheid Wall, IOF checkpoints and illegal colonies. Transnational corporations like CRH are required by international law to comply with international rules governing corporate responsibility with respect to human rights and CRH seriously transgresses these. read full story / add a comment

ETA as everyone knows broke its March 22nd 2006 ceasefire for the Spanish state when it murdered 2 Ecuadorian migrants in Madrid's airport on the 31st of that year. However, many might not know that on the 18th of February 2004, ETA declared a ceasefire for the Catalan territories. It was a cynical exercise and dismissed by most except for the most resolute and radical supporter of complete Catalan independence for the territories of current Catalonia, Valencia, French Catalagne & the Balearic islands. Especially when that ceasefire was subject to a further declaration that "military targets" would be entertained in "paisos catalanes". This summer ETA killed 2 soldiers in Mallorca- (were those two murders somehow legitimate targets?) But today they detonated 3 bombs in bars. = civilian targets. read full story / add a comment

• Do you remember when Dublin Port was a key local employer, and the Docklands were the location of thriving industries? • Do you support workers rights, hard fought for and won for us by previous generations? These are now under threat at Marine Terminal in Dublin Port. The owners, the UK based Peel Group, have targeted Dublin workers, some of whom live locally in Dockland communities. read full story / add a comment
