Because of what is perceived to be at stake (a peace process which is widely acknowledged to have brought, rather than bringing, to an end an internecine conflict of extraordinary savagery and duration) - it is not surprising that the killing of 2 British army soldiers in an attack which also 2 civilian pizza delivery employees threatened - has moved from breaking newswires to front page position across not only European and US media but globally. Already there are over 200 news reports in Spanish langauge media across the South American continent with some titles and news agencies also providing background sections on "The Troubles" and linking to the condemnatory statement this afternoon by Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams. read full story / add a comment

Here is the full text of Noel Dempsey's speech to the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis, in which he explains that - -Fianna Fáil had no idea that bankers, builders and developers were running wild with the possibilities of the unregulated economy. -If they had known about the corruption and endemic and dishonesty, they would have done something about it, but just because these people were funding their election campaigns, playing golf with them, loaning them their holiday homes etc, does not mean that they were aware of where the money was coming from. -It could be much worse. -It will get worse. read full story / add a comment

Peter Tatchell writes on the need for principled solidarity with Iran: Support the People of Iran against US Imperialism. But also against the Theocratic Regime. Full text at link. Principled, consistent left-wingers do not base their politics on the unprincipled, inconsistent geo-political manoeuvres of western powers. We stand with the oppressed against their oppressors, regardless of what the west (or anyone else) demands or threatens. US sabre-rattling against Iran is worrying. A military attack must be resisted. However, opposition to Washington’s war-mongering and neo-imperial designs is no reason for socialists, greens and other progressives to go soft on Tehran. read full story / add a comment

Discussion chaired by Frank McDonald, journalist with The Irish Times, on a broad range of architectural and developmental issues that have become apparent in Celtic Tiger Dublin. Contributors include Dr. Gary Boyd, Ciarán Cuffe TD, Robert Ballagh and Siobhain Ní Éanaigh. The majority of the speakers were very critical of Celtic Tiger Ireland, a change from previous "architectural discussion". The talk happened in Docklands "white elephant", CHQ, aka: Stack A. Sunday August 10 2008 was the day of the discussion, day after the worst rainfall that Ireland had ever seen in the month of august, a wake up call if ever there was one of how we have to adress climate chaos...http://radio.indymedia.org/es/node/17169 read full story / add a comment

The recent change in Irish society from `get rich quick' to working class struggle has been unprecedented. The economy is sinking fast and the predictions are that things can only get worse. European Commission president José Manuel Barroso has made the point that Ireland would be in the same situation as Iceland if it were not in the euro zone. But maybe even this cannot save the country from plunging into bankruptcy, as banks and businesses collapse and unemployment soars. read full story / add a comment

Cracks are emerging in the edifice of the ICTU leadership.Blair Horan of the CPSU which has opposed the levy from the start has said: that the CPSU was seeking to have the pension levy scrapped. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0226/...3.htm However in todays Irish Times, ICTU General Secretary David Begg said: the first is that our campaign is not for the elimination of the pensions levy but rather for a fairer sharing of the burden of adjustment. http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/opinion/2009/0226/1....html read full story / add a comment |
