The purpose of the Lisbon Treaty research is to offer the voters of Ireland objective arguments on the Lisbon Treaty, with facts and evidence with substance, and an objective discussion of the legal, political, economical and social considerations of the Treaty. So far it has been only the No groups who presented quotes of the Lisbon Treaty, and only their arguments stand valid on the basis of the text itself and on the grounds of scientific facts. read full story / add a comment

“How do we move from here to the position of Ireland’s national independence with the essential unity of the country and its people achieved? How do we combat the threat to our separate identity so that we survive as a distinct people to cooperate with the former colonised nations and advance the cause of humankind in general? How do we progress towards building the Democratic Socialist Republic? read full story / add a comment

Simply we can describe the situation of the Gaza Strip as the worst of its kind since the Israeli occupation of Palestine in 1948, if you walk the streets of Gaza city you will be shocked seeing how miserable and harsh life the people of Gaza are facing, as a result of the Israeli daily aggressions and sever measures. read full story / add a comment

The purpose of this article (see below the video) is to provide further support to the statement upheld by politicians, academic and legal experts that the Lisbon Treaty is a constitution. The emphasis on this fact is vital because from this fact it follows that the Lisbon Treaty needs referendum not only in Ireland but in all of the 27 EU member states. Because the Lisbon Treaty a constitution, it is crucial to understand that no constitution ever permits the act of overthrowing it, i.e never allows the act of replacing it with another one without the permission of a country's citizens. Therefore the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty without referendums in the other 26 states, is a dictatorial power-grab over Europe. (Please see the document referred at the end of the article.) With this article we wish to call Ireland to Vote NO to Lisbon Treaty! Vote NO to a constitution that establishes a dictatorial federal regime with powers over all Europe. read full story / add a comment

This is a brief link to the Irish Safe and Legal campaign, who have linked to the Pro-choice Majority Campaign in Britain in relation to the attempt through legislation to reduce the Upper Abortion Limit, as part of the HFEB Bill . On May the Seventh 2008, the Houses in the UK will vote on a divisive Bill which has actively left women's rights and NGO groups out of the equation in relation to Choice and Healthcare issues. http://www.safeandlegal.blogspot.com The HFEB is called the Human Fertilisation and Embrology Bill.

By creating a provincial parliament for the nine counties of Ulster, within the framework of a new Ireland the partition system would be disestablished and the problem of the border removed. The Protestant people of Ulster would have a working majority and would have immediate access to power. Furthermore, the devolution of power to the local level would ensure for each community the opportunity to foster its own traditions and culture. Each region and community would have within itself the immediate power to deal with its own social and economic problems. Such devolution of power from one central authority to the people is the essence of democracy. The Nationalist population would be of sufficient strength to ensure a strong and credible opposition within reach of power. For the first time in fifty years we would see a normalization of politics with an end to the domination of one community by another and the resultant frustration and conflict. read full story / add a comment

The following is a statement by the Communist Party of Iran (MLM). It was written before Mahmoud was released. The statement is not available elsewhere online in English. It is preceded by a commentary from A World to Win News Service. Drew WPRM http://www.wprm.org/ At a time when the US is threatening to attack Iran and is posing as the “liberator” of the Iranian people, Mahmood took a clear position against both U.S. imperialist war and the IRI and has refused to call for “national reconciliation” with the Islamic regime. read full story / add a comment

On a day when the UN released a report that 70% of women suffer poverty and only own 1% of the world's titled land, which is a common inheritance of all people I decided to look at media coverage of the issues. The Irish Times had the report in small paragraph without title or reference to the committee release. And I could not find it elsewhere. Addressing the root cause of women's poverty is not a simple prospect, afterall, National Governments do not listen to women. If they did they would hear what they say to me everyday... read full story / add a comment

Twenty ten is the date the HSE say a Cystic Fibrosis unit will be built. Proudly they boast of “fast-tracking” this process to deliver the care that has being so desperately needed for years. This “spin” is never more quickly put into perspective than when a mother or father, brother or sister weep and stare at tossed soil which is beginning to settle where their loved one lays. Peacefully, yet cold, with the colours of nature and heart broken messages of love and memories at any of the thirty graves. read full story / add a comment

The upcoming referendum for the Treaty of Lisbon, only voted for by the people of Ireland will determine the future of all European member states. The Treaty is basically a redraft of the EU Treaty rejected by the people of France and Holland, although the majority of political partys where campaigning for a Yes vote in both countries. The Treaty of Lisbon will passed now in France and Holland and all other member states without ratification. Well Ireland gets to vote and the majority of political partys are urging people to Vote Yes... read full story / add a comment |
