In June 2006 the Director of Public Prosecutions revised his general guidelines. One section of the revised guidelines caused bemusement amongst some in the legal profession. Section 9 in particular which refers to the guidelines on disclosure is the one which has created a point of debate and criticism. Ironically the DPP singled out the McKevitt case as a shining example of fair procedures on disclosure when in fact the opposite happened in the McKevitt trial. Both nationally and internationally legal observers have described the disclosure process used during the McKevitt case as one of the most blatant abuses on disclosure that they have ever witnessed. read full story / add a comment

Given as Shell’s site in Ballinaboy contains 400 acres, ten times more than the size of the refinery they are building at the moment, Shell to Sea activists have long suspected it is to be the first of many. A report published by the Petroleum Affairs Division of the Department of Communications, Marine and Natural Resources, earlier this year envisages the construction of more refineries and more pipelines in Erris, in addition to the Corrib gas development, involving companies other than just Shell, and with state encouragement. A backgrounder on oil and gas in the west of Ireland can be read here: https://publish.indymedia.org.uk/en/2006/10/352997.html read full story / add a comment

Sinn Féin held a protest outside Leinster house today demanding the release of IRA prisoners. The protest was made up of Sinn Féin and Ógra Shinn Féin activists. Some of Sinn Féin's TD's where also present showing their support for the campaign. 8 years following the GFA and 1 year following the IRA's decision to call an end to its armed campaign, there is no reason why IRA prisoners should still be in jail. read full story / add a comment

Anthony Campbell, a 20-year-old apprentice plumber who lived in block F of the flats, at St Michan's House flats complex, near the Four Courts in Dublin was gunned down as he went about his work in a house at Scribblestown Park, Finglas, north Dublin yesterday morning. As he left for work yesterday, he would have had no idea that he was about to become the latest victim of a violent feud in the criminal underworld he would only have read about in newspapers. Such was the swift, indiscriminate and chilling nature of the attack that he probably never realised why he was being killed. The cruel twist of circumstance that led to his death saw him shot in the house of a relative of a major crime boss because he would have been a witness to the killing of that criminal. Gardaí said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. read full story / add a comment

éirígí activists staged two successful pickets over the past number of days. The pickets were designed to show both solidarity with the community of Erris, Co Mayo as they battle against Shells plans to build an unsafe refinery and pipeline and also to focus public attention on those responsible for the entire Corrib gas debacle. The two éirígí protests were thus focused on the two main culprits; Shell and the head of the government responsible for the giveaway of Ireland's gas reserves, Bertie Ahern. read full story / add a comment

Concerned Citizens of Highfield in Limerick turn out to defend their natural heritage. Locally known as Chicken tree 1 + 2, are the old Monterey Cypress trees, the Giant Redwood and Turkey oak tree face possibly being felled. Felling of younger trees occurred Friday and Monday on site, an act which is understood to be directly in breach of condition 6 of this developments Bord Planala planning permission (see condition 6 in full below). Following today's pressure from these local residents and subsequent mediation with the developer and the council, a commitment have been given by the developer that all felling will cease until documents are sent to council. The residents expect the developer to honour this commitment. More updates to follow. read full story / add a comment |
