The Green Party’s decision to support the Lisbon Treaty and backtrack on its long standing campaign for a more democratic EU will be more of a hindrance than a help to the Yes side. The voters would currently not buy a used car from the Green Party let alone a rejected treaty. The party leadership has shown that once part of the so-called ‘accepted political establishment’ they turn their back on their principles read full story / add a comment

Serica, the British energy company, has found oil in the Slyne basin, off the west coast of Ireland. Under current licencing agreements, all oil found in Irish waters will belong exclusively to the finder, with no royalty payable to the people of Ireland. All exploration and development costs will be claimed back before tax is paid. Minor changes to the licencing terms, brought in by Eamon Ryan in 2007, won't apply to this find. In a Reuter's interview last year, Paul Ellis, the company's chief executive, said of the Irish exploration: "They are look-a-like prospects to Shell's Corrib prospects, and are attractive partly due to the tax rate in Ireland." read full story / add a comment

Bottom-up rights are those rights excluded from UN human rights instruments because they were considered incompatible with neo liberalism and globalization. This pits a 'we are all in this together' establishment against the independent peoples e.g. small business, and the most disadvantaged. The discontented need to struggle to have these rights, which entail an ethical globalization, included in domestic and international human rights law. read full story / add a comment

Amnesty International fears the wave of arrests of civil society activists in Iran is intensifying after the leading lawyer and women's human rights activist Shadi Sadr was violently arrested in Tehran this morning on her way to Friday prayers. Shadi Sadr was walking with a group of women's rights activists along a busy road when unidentified plain-clothed men pulled her into a car. She lost her headscarf and coat in the ensuing struggle but managed briefly to escape. She was quickly recaptured and beaten with batons before being taken away in the car to an unknown location. read full story / add a comment

How low can they go? Well the lowest I've found is a cutback of €2.6 million in funding to local groups which are fighting against the ravages of drug addiction. Just what you would expect from a smug upper middle class toadie of the ruling class like Colm McCarthy. Colm McCarthy has declared War on the ordinary people of Ireland. The only suitable response is to declare War right back on him and his masters. read full story / add a comment

Here Joe Higgins, the Socialist Party MEP for Dublin, talks about the recent electricians´ strike, the disgusting attacks on it by the bosses and media, and how we can all learn from their suyccess of the electricians. You would think from reading some newspaper articles and editorials that workers go on strike to deliberately wreak havoc on whichever sector they work in, or on society in general. Take the 10,500 strong electricians strike last week. "Strike flies in the face of reason" pompously declared an editorial in a daily newspaper. An economic commentator went one better, calling the strike "insane and delusional". Former Minister of State and current Chief Executive of the Construction Industry Federation, Tom Parlon outshouted them all when he said that "we cannot let the lunatics be in charge." read full story / add a comment
