Just over 150 people marched down to HMS Ocean to protest the presence of this British warship which was involved in the invasion of Iraq in Dublin port. Although some will be disappointed with this turnout in reality it was a significant number for a wet mid week demonstration. Also on the positive side there was a real effort to overcome some of the divisions that have characterised the anti-war movement. read full story / add a comment

Professor Peter Mitchell of the UCD school of physics , provided
today a completetly risible excuse for the media -led campaign on
nuclear energy in this country. The campaign has been trundling on
at least since Feburary 16th of this year, though it gathered momentum on
June 1st with the press release from the Oireachtas Committee on
natural resources that the nuclear option is one that we should be examining.
According to Mitchell nuclear power generation in Ireland could
provide an answer to our offence at and opposition to war.

How apparent was it in in the Dail?

A constitutional referendum on the recently debated (use the term advisedly)
Criminal law (sexual offences) Bill 2006, has produced more controversy
in Dail Eireann today.
Mr Ahern has stated that there may (after an all-party committee) hearing on all
aspects of the law , including the constitutional implications,
which may lead to a referendum to drop the 'honest mistake'
defence and a referendum would ensure that in effect we would be returned to the 1935 act. read full story / add a comment

The Triple Arm of Good Governance: the Judiciary, the Gardai and the offices of Parliament.

Included herein: A Question tabled for written reply to Minister Micheal Mc Dowell TD.

A response to the written reply by Peter Preston.

To be added at Mr Preston's request:

"Before each Dail session, the Ceann Comhairle says a prayer that goes something like this,

Through your divine inspiration may all our actions, works and words come from thee.....

to be answered by the TD who he accuses of returning to him transcripts altered by a named TD
within Dail Eireann). read full story / add a comment
