In view of the Bush Administration's brutal illegal and inhumane war against Iraq, we the undersigned call on the Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, other Irish politicians and Government representatives, not to meet with President Bush in the United States over the coming Saint Patrick's Day events. Shannon Airport should no longer be used to ferry American troops back and forward to Iraq. read full story / add a comment

When the state, the agencies of the state and the re-zoners(pardon me, Council) are going to put a road through it. Thus 4,000 people objected to the An Bord Pleanala decision to Route the M3 through the Tara Gabhra Valley. One person goes to court to seek judicial review of that decision, (gets hammered for 600,000 grand) and the message we take from this is, do not attempt to engage with a system and structure of planning that is designed to disempower your community or your legitimate right to protest. I quote from the affidavitt: "None of the 38sites/monuments are considered to have a group value or to have any relationships with the other monuments. At the risk of sounding frivolous, does this mean that they and their occupants or creators dropped out of the sky and did not interact with any other living soul or place in this landscape?" This ,from the state is what the 600,000 grand paid for. We are looking at appeal . read full story / add a comment

Anyone who can, would they carry a SAVE TARA banner at their Patrick's Day parade or whatever event is being held in their town or city? Here or abroad? Two Latin biographies of Patrick appear in the seventh century and it is no accident that his major confrontation with druidry and paganism happens at Tara the main pre-Christian site in Ireland. read full story / add a comment

"No one now disputes that stopping Slobodan Milosevic was the right thing to do,” wrote the Wall Street Journal this week, several days after the deposed Serbian strongman expired in his cell in the Hague. It’s an appealing sentiment, suggesting as it does that the man who presided over the deaths of 250,000 people in Yugoslavia in the 1990s died unsung and unmourned. In reality, however, even Slobodan Milosevic had his defenders. What is more, they are the same voices--largely on the far Left but also on the isolationist Right--who have now taken up the cause of Saddam Hussein. read full story / add a comment
