On Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd June we will have the Full Moon on the Summer Solstice celebrated on tara as we express our right of free association and assembley for spiritual purposes at our ancesteral temples.

Druidschool has set up tara Pilgrimage 2005 - to lift the priests curse on tara and to replace it with a Celtic Druids Blessing. We will do this over a 24-hour event from Sunrise on Tuesday 21 to Sunrise on Wednesday 22, which will also include Moonrise and Moonset.

We will lift the curse (8pm Tue) with drumming; barefoot dancing with the crystal fire from the pilgrim's quartz's and then with many others - we will offer a Celtic Druids Blessing for tara.

Please bring some small kindling, dress in layers and bring a blanket. Bring some rock quartz to this tara Pilgrimage and take a different piece home. The above ceremonies are free and open to all.

Details on the link below under tara na Rí. read full story / add a comment

Dear Sir or Madam,

Someone sent me a list of questions about working with indymedia. they're writing about it for a college thesis. if they do well we might give them a job ;-). these are my own opinions and not necessarily those of the indymedia ireland collective. I hated to spend an hour of unpaid labour on something that'll probably rot in a library so here you go. copyleft of course. i hereby submit this for publication under a copyleft arrangement ;-). any takers vincent? madam? donal? for your blogging programme david?

yours sincerely,

Anti Tolls Protest in Navan
meath / miscellaneous / other press Saturday April 02, 2005 10:43 by Proinsias Mac Fhearghusa   image 1 image
The M3 will be tolled twice in County Meath.

A commuter for example, traveling from north of Navan hoping to travel on the M3 to work in Lucan or south of the M50 will be forced to pay 3 tolls there and 3 tolls back—6 tolls per day, 30 per week.

The entire M3 debate seems to revolve around a controversial 3km at the Hill of tara, and the double tolling of the M3 has largely been ignored by our elected representatives in Dáil Éireann.

Using the current M50 toll charge of €1.80 per car for calculation purposes you would have to pay €10.80 per day or €54.00 per week to get there and back! This is unacceptable.

This is just one of many issues affecting the M3 including possible route construction delays and building across the old Dublin Navan Railway line close to Navan without putting in bridges before the M3 is built.

Meath needs an M3 now, without delays or double tolls.

The protest is being called by Residents Against Racism

Another protest is planned for 23rd March outside Dail Eireann at 12.30.

Two women from Athlone with a child each in their care are presently being brought to Dublin Airport. Some of their kids are not with them.

People are being picked up from all over country.

Residents against Racism reckon it will be a large number in total and that most likely the Gardai etc have chartered a plane.

A Woman from Mill Street resident here for four and a half years who is sick and disabled (she was taken ill at Burgh Quay last week) with two daughters in school here one in primary and one in secondary is in custody en route to Dublin airport. This is despite her having huge support in favour of her remaining from her community.

A woman from Castleblaney with 2 kids, eldest a boy of 15 whose school and all have been trying to keep them - she and some of read full story / add a comment
dublin / racism & migration related issues / event notice Monday March 14, 2005 21:48 by Residents Aaint Racism
Today (Monday) saw many Nigerians called in by the immigration police. It appears that they will be deported tonight.

Residents Against Racism have called a protest for 1pm on Wednesday March 16th at the Garda National Immigration Bureau on Burgh Quay.

(Burgh Quay is the street between tara Street DART station and O'Connell bridge on the south side of the river)

+++++

from a report by someone who was in the GNIB offices today..

"Among those to be deported is a 19 year old who has been here for 5 years and is to sit his Leaving Cert in June. He has no family alive. His solicitor was with him so we were a bit optimistic but as we were leaving the guy was lifted and taken home to pack his luggage for deportation." read full story / add a comment
the right to participate secretly in an emergent democracy regardless of ethnicity, gender,social class or creed.

On the 11th of March, those Irish citizens of counties Meath and North Kildare were called to vote in a secret ballot, as is their right for living in a tippy toppy emergent democracy, regardless of Ethnic origin, Religious Creed, Social Economic class, or Gender.
( but only if they actually live there, and pay or don't pay tax there, as the tippy toppy emergent democracy of Eire doesn't afford its citizens postal votes.)
Out they came in their handfuls.
Leaping over the primroses and daffodils, pushing aside the lobbying publicans to exercise the rights so sorely won and desperately needed in far off places. read full story / add a comment
