Support them before it's too late. A Victory for Shell to Sea is a victory for the people of Ireland. Unite to fight the raw gas pipe.

The purpose of the Lisbon Treaty research is to offer the voters of Ireland objective arguments on the Lisbon Treaty, with facts and evidence with substance, and an objective discussion of the legal, political, economical and social considerations of the Treaty. So far it has been only the No groups who presented quotes of the Lisbon Treaty, and only their arguments stand valid on the basis of the text itself and on the grounds of scientific facts. read full story / add a comment

This year the Iranian government's repression of workers has started before the 1st of May with the arrest of a number of labour activists in the last week of April . Two of the leading members of the newly found 'Free union of Iranian workers' ( who despite its unfortunate choice of name has declared its intentions to work within the confines of the current regime and avoid 'political' opposition to the regime) were arrested ahead of plans for a May Day demonstration in Kurdistan. The government followed the arrests by banning unofficial May Day celebrations in various parks in Tehran. read full story / add a comment

Fuel and medical shortages, unbridled Israeli military attacks, trade embargoes, travel restrictions and now the food crisis has brought Gaza to the edge of an all out humanitarian crisis: out of a population of 1.4 million, the UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), last Thursday, due to the Israeli fuel blockade has halted food aid to 700,000 refugees and the World Food Programme to another 127,000. Michael Jansen in last Friday's Irish Times http://www.ireland.com/newspaper/breaking/2008/0306/bre....html states that: "Due to the grounding of its vehicles, UNRWA also reduced operations at 214 schools serving 200,000 children and 19 health centres as well as refuse collection in eight refugee camps housing 500,000" read full story / add a comment

The Irish advocate for peace, who completed a mammoth 4,000 mile walk across Australia in 2007, is now back home in Ireland. His next walk starts this summer, a route from Dublin to Belfast - Edinburgh - Cardiff ending in London. He is accompanied by his imaginative friend Harvey, sitting in a orange wheelchair, bringing his popular message, that peace is everywhere right now, it is only a matter of perception to say that there is not. read full story / add a comment

Paradoxically the music of Beethoven seemed more youthful in last night's concert than the music of Górecki - a contemporary composer born in 1933. However the program which presented an interesting contrasted juxtaposition was a triumph for conductor, orchestra and soloist who, all, appeared to me to be young and energetic with admirable team spirit and exemplary seriousness of purpose. read full story / add a comment

Indymedia had a pretty good write up recently which I enjoyed on the history of Irelands social centre’s and radical bookshops of which I don’t think there are enough of these days. The topic itself was titled 'A Hidden History of Social Centre’s In Ireland' (http://www.indymedia.ie/article/87044) and of course the North West once again seemed to have slipped peoples minds, apologies Darren. read full story / add a comment

The format was 10 minutes for each speaker followed by clarification questions and then a general question and answer session.
