It's hard to tell the difference these days between genuine news stories relating to 'anti-racist' ? or, more realistically, anti-white ? ideas and the spoofs and fakes. Pit your wits against our Easter quiz.

The ozone hole scare of the 1980s and the banning of CFCs was the template for the subsequent alarm promoting Net Zero. Yet the ozone hole is now back as large as ever, even after a 35-year CFC ban.

On Sunday morning 13 January 2008 in The Strand Hotel, Omeath, the final touches were put to plans for the eighth annual winter workshop organised by Cooley Environmental and Health Group (CEHG). A total of 15 speakers/participants have confirmed their intention to attend the workshop.

The Sunday morning meeting of CEHG heard that vandalism, theft, abusive behaviour, harrassment, were all forms of anti-social behaviour. In the past religion had a lot to do with establishing social norms but in modern Irish society, which has become multi-faith and multicultural, people look to the law to define anti-social behaviour and to proscribe it.

It was decided to advertise the winter workshop on anti-social behaviour through parish bulletins; The Dundalk Democrat; The Harry Lee Show, Dundalk FM 100 on Tuesday 15 January 2008; indymedia; through personal contact.

It was stressed at the Sunday morning meeting that all are welcome to the workshop. Contact details are available through CEHG's website www.cooleyehg.com or by phoning 0879739945.

The winter workshop "Anti-Social Behaviour" starts at 2.00 p.m. on Saturday 26 January 2008 in The Strand Hotel, Omeath, Co Louth. Admission is free.

The next ordinary meeting of CEHG was fixed for Sunday 13 April 2008 commencing in The Strand Hotel with breakfast at 11.00 a.m.

Leonard and Margaret Hatrick, Pat Ferrigan, Eamonn O’Boyle, Bridget O’Connor, Dermot Mooney, Kevin Hynes, Eric Hynes, Don Johnston, Willie Jones, Jim Loughran, Michael Desmond Hynes (facilitator), and Sean Crudden all participated in the Cooley Environmental and Health Group's winter workshop which started around 2.15 p.m. and concluded at 5.45 p.m. on Saturday 26 January 2008 in The Strand Hotel, Omeath, Co Louth. Flavia Amayo, Kampala, Uganda, a young social worker wrote a paper for the workshop and submitted it from Africa with colour photographs to Cooley Environmental and Health Group via e-mail. The theme of the workshop this year was "Anti-Social Behaviour." All the participants put a lot of personal thought into the subject and expression at the workshop was earnest and fluent. A member of An Garda visited the workshop with apologies from Superintendent Jim Sheridan who was unable to send an officer to participate in the workshop.

During the course of the workshop there was little enough emphasis on policing. Parents and schools were seen to be more central to the issue. It was suggested, for example, that school facilities should be made available to the community outside school hours and during the summer. Willie Jones, head barman of The Strand in his address to the workshop conceded that alcohol and other recreational drugs can fuel anti-social behaviour. It was established at the workshop that anti-social behaviour is a reality in housing estates, schools, school buses and on the highways. And it was established that it has a cost in terms of harassment, nuisance, annoyance and damage to property. In extreme cases it has lead to unnecessary death. The question of ambivalence was discussed and it was suggested that the perpetrators of crime and anti-social behaviour are not always hated and reviled. It was strongly emphasised that the ability of young people to be independent and to think for themselves is a quality that is much more laudable than the desire to conform, follow the crowd and be accepted.

"At some point this younger generation must take over from the older one. So what society do we expect them to create if they only see the negative in the older generation?" - Flavia wrote in the concluding paragraphs of her paper on Anti-Social Behaviour.

Ireland's first antisocial behaviour website (years in operation) that documented years of antisocial activities on the road of Saint Johns Park West, Clondalkin, Dublin. Why did it last years? Simply because those who organised and co-ordinated the antisocial activities were shielded through 'association', A combination of law enforcement and sporting ties helped the perpetrators of the antisocial behaviour to operate unhindered or unchallenged.
