Dublin youth activists united in protest today outside the European Union house to urge a No! vote in this Thursday’s Lisbon Treaty referendum. The protest, which included an open mic and street theatre, was jointly organised by Ógra Shinn Féin, and the Connolly Youth Movement, with members of the IPSC and Anarchist activists also in attendance. Following a very imaginative and visible protest which had Brian Cowen and Charlie McCreevy present, there was an extensive canvass of the thronged Grafton Street asking people to secure a better deal for Ireland, and vote No! read full story / add a comment

Iris Robinson of the DUP has, today, claimed that people of a homosexual orientation should seek help from psychiatrists in order to be "turned around" referring to their sexuality. It is unbelievable that a member of an assembly responsible for the lives of others can come out and make these sorts of ignorant comments putting people's lives and well being in jeopardy. Shocked by the homophobic and ignorant comments, the Starry Plough Initiative wishes to make a statement... read full story / add a comment

Opponents of the Lisbon Treaty claim that Ireland will become part of a Pan-European Army. However their hysteria betrays a profound ignorance of our military weaknesses and indeed the military weakness of the European armies even the big three, German, France and the United Kingdom. None of the European armies shows any likelihood of being able to overcome nationalistic rivalries, duplication of resources, linguistic difficulties and a plethora of different weapons systems that would make a Pan-European army exist anywhere except in the fantasies of Brussels bureacrats even if a common defence treaty is made official. read full story / add a comment

On April 29th, when the Strategic Review Body on Parading formally launched its consultative report, two residents’ groups - the Lower Ormeau Concerned Community in Belfast and the Garvaghy Road Residents Coalition in Portadown – whose communities were at the very heart of the turmoil and conflict over contentious marches in the 1990’s jointly set out their views and concerns in a full page article in “The Irish News”, the main nationalist daily paper in the North. Since then, the two residents' groups have been spuriously accused by some within Sinn Fein of working to "an agenda" - although no-one who makes that accusation is prepared to state what that agenda is. Given that parades are officially listed as one of the items to be “resolved” at the Downing Street talks between Peter Robinson, Martin McGuinness and Gordon Brown, its worth recalling the position of the two residents’ groups and establishing if others, and not the residents, are working to "an agenda".. read full story / add a comment

For the past four weeks BATU staff have been on strike and have been picketing the union's main office in Dublin. The strike is against the forced redundancy of two union officials, Tom Fitzgerald and Rob Kelly, and against the threat to impose wage cuts and detrimental changes to the conditions of administrative staff. It is a strike in defense of basic trade union principles. read full story / add a comment |
