As a child living in the city i am horrified at what the council have done to the lovely park on dame st. I loved that place ,it was a great place to meet friends or just chat with other people who would be sitting about on the benches.Now there are no benches to have a rest on.When i look across the road there are rows of pubs for adults to sit and have fun in .I dont wunt to go in a pub Why should adults have lots of thing and kids have nothing and why do we need more offices when they havent even got someboby to be in them. I made a protest with my friends to stop the building last year we even stayed out in the rain because we wunted our park back. The lovely statues are gone now too, my Ma says the people who made the building earn €250 million a year ,thats very greedy. I hope we dont lose anymore parks to greedy fat cats. See you in Dartmoth sq tomorrow ...KEEP THE PARKS FOR KIDS and see you tomorrow in Dartmouth sq read full story / add a comment

The conference ‘Another Europe is Possible’ being organised by Sinn Féin/GUE-NGL on Saturday next, Sept 9 in Liberty Hall will provide a welcome forum for exchange of information and debate on current developments in the EU. But one of the MEPs participating in the ‘Another Europe is Possible’ debate – Kathy Sinnott – shares the clerical-conservative views of Youth Defence and SPUC. The left should be careful not to let itself to be confused with clerical-conservatives. Beware a repeat of the 'No to Nice' campaign. read full story / add a comment

We're all aware of the contempt with which people with disability and their families are regarded by the state. And as if the present government were not already unpopular enough among this community of people, they have decided arbitrarily to slash the Carers Allowance which mothers of children with disability are entitled to. read full story / add a comment

Yesterday, in Jerusalem the appeal of Mordechai Vanunu against the restrictions imposed on him by the State of Israel came before the Supreme Court. After his release from 18 years of imprisonment in April 2004, Vanunu was not truly free..The restrictions imposed by the State, among other things, denied him the right to freedom of speech and freedom of movement. These restrictions are in breach of the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Yesterday, 6 September, was another day for Mordechai's appeal in court. read full story / add a comment

A culture where directors have been prepared to cook the books and have whistleblowers (Dr John Huong) and campaigners (the “Rossport Five”), terrorised and thrown in jail. Shell's reputation has been ruined due to the rapacious greed, arrogance and aggressive tactics of some Shell executives. read full story / add a comment

In order to force wild animals to perform stressful and often painful acts, trainers use metal bullhooks, whips, muzzles and electric prods. These horribly cruel training methods are commonly used in Irish circuses all over the country. This is part of ARAN’s ongoing campaign country wide to show the public that, animals in circuses have being taken from the wild at some stage in their life for a lifetime of boredom, misery, cheap tricks and cruelty. read full story / add a comment
