Dear Tanaiste and Minister for Justice, It is manifestly clear to me as a constituent in the Rathmines area that your failure to grasp the issues of community opposition to the high pressure gas pipeline in Rossport, coupled with your failure to 'Watchdog this Corrupt Fianna Fail Administration' even as you climbed a lampost in Ranelagh, to underscore your desire to end corrupt practice is a sham performance. read full story / add a comment

To whom it concerns, I must start off by saying that I approve of the Corrib gas coming ashore. I attended a meeting in Belmullet 30 months ago and I voted for this project to go ahead. There were over 800 people there and all but 5 voted in favour. I later worked on the project at Ballinaboy but no longer do so. read full story / add a comment

As the siege enters its sixth week Shell to Sea campaigners continue to maintain their morning pickets of Shell’s refinery site. Security outside the gates has been stepped up with the erection of a six-foot tall sheet metal fence around the main site entrance late last week. Around the same time Shell to sea signs were removed and defaced by Gardaí including one reading “community under siege”. Gardaí also ordered that the Shell to sea H.Q. trailer be moved. The trailer was moved a nominal few feet down the road and the picket continues. read full story / add a comment

Over recent weeks there have been a number of confrontations between Niall Harnett and Sgt. Conor O’Reilly & Gardai, at the proposed Shell Corrib Gas Refinery Site, Bellanaboy, culminating last week in the breaking of Niall's driver’s window in order to forcibly remove him from his van, and the theft under ‘colour of law’ of that van by O’Reilly on Tue 31st Oct. In the High Court on Tue 7th Oct, Mr Justice Michael Peart granted to Niall an injunction against O’Reilly from further damaging or disposing of his van, which O’Reilly had threatened, and leave to seek an order for it's release without condition. Other ‘reliefs’ applied for are a ‘declaration’ by the High Court that the van was held unlawfully and that O’Reilly and An Garda Síochána have acted ‘Ultra Vires’ - the legal term for 'exceeding their powers granted by law’, which in this case would mean simply that they broke the law. read full story / add a comment

ETA prisoner José Ignacio de Juana Chaos has commenced another hunger strike. He did so on the eve of his sentancing in protest against the expected term of 12.5 years, which has been handed down by the Spanish court this sentance is for promoting terrorism , [ de Juana Chaos authored a series of articles calling for the continuation & escalation of ETA's armed campaign. ] The Spanish prime minister Zapatero has said in a statement that he expects the sentance (by the independent judiciary) will further complicate the nascent Basque Peace Process. Already most observers recognise that the process is in crises, the internal ETA magazine only a week ago threatened a return to violence if political progress in not seen to be made by late Autumn. Though critics of Basque seperatism would point out that since late Spring over 120 incidents of arson have been attributed to the group & one theft of 350 arms. read full story / add a comment

When the leader of a political party with a track record on social policy like Fianna Fail’s starts talking about children’s rights, it’s time to sit up and be alarmed – particularly so when it is in the vicinity of a general election. Fianna Fail are a party who have perfected the art of claiming to do one thing while in fact doing its opposite. The issue of child protection should not be used as a back door through which further reductions in the rights of parents to secure adequate state services for their children is introduced. read full story / add a comment

Many people in Dublin, including a lot of DCC staff, have expressed dismay that the Council has an exclusive deal whcih means that they must refuel at Shell garages. A large crowd from Shell to Sea joined the Sinn Féin councillors before the meeting to show support for Daithí's suggestion that the deal be scrapped. read full story / add a comment

The ongoing Omagh civil litigation has been listed for 16th April 2007 when the case is expected to finally get under way. Even at this early stage, many observers in the legal profession consider it, as being prejudiced, deeply flawed and under the present format it can only return an unfair and dishonest judgment. The British authorities have the case structured in such that it will deny the defendants any hope of defending themselves in the case. read full story / add a comment |
