"Mass clearances during the Irish Famine were made possible by the landlords' use of the infamous bailiffs - The Crowbar Brigade. Their actions combined with the presence of police were likely to quell any thought of serious resistance by tenants / indigenous people who 'must be taught by the strong arm of the law that they have no power to oppose or resist'." http://www.nde.state.ne.us/SS/irish/unit_3.html Well, is that right? Limerick County Council brought in their own Cro-bar Construction Brigade accompanied by An Garda Síochána again this morning in a staged attempt to push the polluted River Deel water pipeline past the 'white line', which was held again this morning by local residents, mostly women, including Orla Kaiser's mother Joan Hayes and Tom Clarke's wife Breda Clarke. Joan and Breda showed no fear in a powerful statement to Gardaí, Limerick County Council and national media, saying they are prepared to go jail if necessary, with Orla, to defend their rights and their Spring Water. read full story / add a comment

Just received word that Bertie Ahern may be holding a press conference at 12.30pm today. It appears that a rumour is doing the rounds that cleaning staff at Shannon airport have seen a man in shackles aboard a US aircraft. This is sketchy information and it's unclear what, if anything, might emerge. A case of watch this space, methinks. read full story / add a comment

Whilst applauding the attempt to recitfy the deep wrongs of the Era through apology , it has come three years too late. The State continues to deny its role in the obstruction of the work of the Laffoy Committee, not has it exposed the machinations of the dept of education and Science headed up by Michael Woods that signed the Church/ State indemnity deal which absolved the Church from paying full compensation to victims. read full story / add a comment |
