Joe Duffy invited two protesters, Holly, and Leah, who were at the protest at the Dáil on Tuesday the 18th of May, on to his Radio show on RTE. These two protesters were contacted because they had been wearing fake blood, in an attempt to highlight that the Gardaí had taken quite violent action, including bludgeoning protesters with steel batons, against people who were fighting against public service cuts - indeed fighting against the very cuts that the Gardaí themselves will suffer. read full story / add a comment

Michael Finnegan, Workers' Party President, has slammed Brian Cowen's view of history as outlined in his speech 'A Decade of Centenaries: Commemorating Shared History'.

"Brian Cowen", said Mr Finnegan "has outlined a list of events from the decade 1912 to 1922 which undoubtedly are of importance. But it is the events which he has omited which reveal his mindset and his narrow nationalistic view of irish history"

The proletariat provides the socio-ontological conditions for emancipation from ideology and exploitation. This is based on the proletariat’s unique relationship to the production process as source of wealth, value and capital–the very material basis for the existence of capitalist society.

Read the following quotes from highly credible sources and remember Pat's 100 days in jail today. read full story / add a comment
