"The neoliberals are fully in control of the bureaucracy, and they are reviving Margaret Thatcher's slogan, TINA: There Is No Alternative. But there is, of course. In the small Baltic economies, pro-labor parties have made it clear that the alternative to government shrinkage is to simply repeal the debts, withdraw from the Euro and break the banks. It is either the banks or labor - and Europe has just realized that this is truly a fight to the economic death. And the first test will come this Saturday, when Latvia holds its national parliamentary elections." read full story / add a comment

With all the talk of who should govern the country, and how much Brian Cowen drank. There is still the fact that the Irish people are being led around like hapless sheep. It would not matter a damn who got into power, because the banks, EU and the IMF (in the near future) would be the ones calling all the shots. read full story / add a comment

We have spent billions on the LUAS tram rail which only stretches a couple of miles,in the city of dublin,and now we are having to spend a further couple of billion for a project that is over budget and already late for the schedule date!There is a market in ireland for a national connected rail,not just an over budget rail that only stretches a few miles from dublin to killiney..Bus services and train services in ireland are infamous for being uncordinated.There are places in ireland you still cannot get to,and in order to get anwhere in ireland you need a car,to travel,maybe it could even clean up road deaths. read full story / add a comment

In the decade of widespread access to information technology and all the sucess, it has brought few, there are still an abundance of laws that need to be amended. While the business elites were re packaging the internet which later became known as the user friendly World Wide Web. There are a lot of unresolved problems that have yet to be dealt with such as criminality on the internet, the buying and selling of stolen goods, weapons, human trafficing, snuff video's and of course,peadophilia. In some countries for instance it is not illegal to view naked images of young girls and boys. If European citizens are law abiding and have nothing to hide, they should have no problem with declaration 29. A proposal to retain all Internet search traffic, known as "Written Declaration 29," was adopted by the European Parliament last week. Framed as a measure to crack down on paedophiles, the controversial Declaration calls on the EU to require that search engines store all search traffic for up to two year read full story / add a comment

Larry Murpy was arrested by the gardai,after he kidnapped a woman and raped her,and was very close to killing her..Only for two deer hunters,actually came across her in a distressed state,muddied,bloodied,and with no clothing,she was brought into her local garda station by these two men,who then later tried to catch larry murphy with the gards in tow. He was also suspected of killing a number of other women,and was even one of the top names on ireland's cold case list.. It is evident the irish justice system has let us down,when a man of such evil can not only walk the streets of ireland,but of spain. As there is no RESTRICTION on suspected serial killers,(who are freed by the irish judicial system) travelling throughout Europe.. He was released 5 years early on good behavior,good behavior should be relevant to the crime committed..and in a cell with other predominantly male prison guards,surrounding the cells,how can this be proven. read full story / add a comment

FAS,the troubled state agency has lost all credibility,and this has not just been recently,this has been happening for years,with the government of the state 'training educational' agency,standing by still in support of these 'services',to provide free labour,and continue to not pay the people making FAS happen,the ce workers.FAS pay employers who take on their FAS employees hundreds of euros,while the FAS ce or apprentices,get paid by social welfare,this is not a system that works for the unemployed,currently only 3 % of former fas workers are employed in the jobs market,so what good has FAS done for the unemployed minus themselves and thier business associates apart from making the dole stats look good,what use is that when FAS are draining our economy and providing no job oppurtunities across the board. brainstorming for a new name will not solve the old problems in the well heeled FAS senior management. read full story / add a comment

It is with great despair that I read about the 6000 tip - offs to the Dept of Social Protection in last weeks papers. While I gladly welcome any crackdown on fraud, we must be mindful about the double edge side of this particular sword. People have to remember that these so - called welfare fraud lines can be used by a person with an axe to grind with a person that they don't like or have falling out with in the the form a malicous and false call to the dept just to cause bother to that particular person. read full story / add a comment

In recent weeks, there have been a host of news reports, columns and internet blogs seeking answers to the growth of dissenting Republicanism. Much of which has focused on the morality surrounding armed actions.However, what many have failed to grasp has been the shift in ideological terms between mainstream and dissenting republicans. A much better description would be contemporary and socialist republicans. read full story / add a comment

On the 6th of September Monday,Brian Dobson today interviewed the Director of FAS 'services',Paul o Toole,he was given very few questions,and praised for his efforts in FAS,and so soon.. Fas are allocated a budget increases in the Dail every year,despite all the scandals(which are not one sided soundbites).. FAS complaints have increased and the government and Rte's cronies are doing nothing to stop this or question it in a fair and equal manner. read full story / add a comment

By april 2011,what the new (or not so new) road user will need before applying for their test is £1,125 euros,and a lot of time on their hands,as they will be expected to undertake 20 lessons,after completing their theory test,which will set them back an extra 50 euros. Not everybody passes their test on the first round,and the driving testers,sometimes have the wrong attitude and no people skills,and will just fail you for the smallest slight non endangering mistake. read full story / add a comment

Human trafficing has been dramatically clamped down on in the North of Ireland,while in the Republic we are still struggling to deal with the old criminal gangs of ireland,and not succeeding. And we certainly are nowhere near reform in our police force in the south ,tackling such issues as cyber crime and prostitution in the repulblic it is most definately red light zone,a free for all.. read full story / add a comment

The group the WIL is holding as meeting to launch a campaign for a labor party in the USA. This article questions why this group has taken this initiative on its own and why it has not sought a united front approach. It raises the issues of left sectarianism, ultra leftism and opportunism and how these have damaged the workers and left and radical movement in the USA and internationally. read full story / add a comment
