Since the partition of Ireland two state forces have emerged with similar agendas. They have inherited many qualities of the old orders of control. The Garda and the RUC/PSNI. (The force has changed its name several times) are the strongest wings of state control. The RUC is the more starkly apparent of the two given its infamous role as a counter insurgency force and tool of repression.

After waging a battle against Christian right-wing sect Faderhuset for several years, recent decisions in both the Copenhagen City Court and the National Court have ordered the current occupiers of infamous Danish social centre Ungdomshuset out on December 14th, 2006. This decision and the process through which it was made is hotly contested. This is obvious through both extensive coverage in mainstream Cophenhagen social democratic newspapers like Politiken and in how opposition from the centre´s users more recently spilled over into street fighting when police attacked ( 1 ) a Reclaim the Streets demonstration.

This interview was carried out during their 24th birthday party which was on during the weekend of October 25th. It tries to go into some of the recent history around the Ungdomshuset court saga so far, the strange alliances formed around it and how the future is likely to pan out for a building that remains highly emblematic as a symbol for the left overs of the Northern European autonome scene. read full story / add a comment

In the week running up to the Shannon demonstration, Kathleen and Bill Christison, formerly senior analysts with the CIA and highly respected scourges of the present U.S. regime, will visit Ireland for the first time, on their way back from a fortnight in Israel-Palestine. In public talks around the country from October 21st-29th, they will give an informed update on the situation in Palestine, discuss what Kathleen has called “the coming collapse of Zionism", and offer an expert view on U.S. support for Israel, and indeed on the U.S.’s own imperial adventures read full story / add a comment

The main article on Shell to Sea this weekend was a repeat of Paul Williams earlier story in the Sunday World last weekend.
(see: http://www.indymedia.ie/article/78773)
These stories concerned Provo intimidation. This is likely to be a recurring theme so I have a good look at it.
Shell to Sea was also smeared by the Sunday Times (again) and Saturday’s Mail.
The Mail gave positive coverage earlier in the week.
There were decent pieces in the Irish Times and in Village, this article just looks at the negative coverage. read full story / add a comment

In January of this year we were part of an eight-country Global Women’s Strike delegation to Venezuela from co-ordinating groups in England, Guyana, India, Ireland, Peru, Spain, Uganda, and US – over 70 women and men. Working with the Bolivarian revolution since 2002, our global network took advantage of Caracas hosting the World Social Forum to work together in the heart of the revolution. We wanted as many of us as possible to witness how grassroots communities, beginning with women, are spearheading a revolution and winning back their oil wealth, through an extraordinary relationship with their elected President Hugo Chávez Frías.

After the Cyprus mauling the fans called for the sacking of Steve Staunton. The FAI got rid of Brian Kerr while Mick McCarty ran under the pressure of his failings. So is it time we forgot about blaming those the FAI appointed as international soccer managers and look towards the FAI as the continuing reasons for the decline in our international football team and the long departed good old days of glory. read full story / add a comment
