Various survivors of the Bhopal Gas Leak and activist supporters, about 150 individuals, are embarking on a month long padayatra [protest march on foot] from Bhopal to Delhi, which is a distance of approx. 800km. They are setting out from the Union Carbide factory in Bhopal on 20th February and hope to reach New Delhi by the end of March. They will stop along the way in various other areas/communities that have been affected negatively by industrial pollution to share stories and establish connections. They will be walking 25-35 kilometers per day. When they arrive in Delhi there will be a big day of support and final walk to the Prime Minister's Office with various other groups from Delhi joining for the last leg to make their support for the demands of the campaigners clear. read full story / add a comment

Cork Harbour Alliance for a Safe Environment are determined to prevent the incinerators proposed for Ringaskiddy. Despite recent government attempts to impose incineration on communities all over the country, there is now a growing national awareness that this solution to our waste problems is sheer lunacy. Anti-incinerator and other environmentally motivated groups are now joining forces to send a clear and unambiguous message to the government: stop taking us for fools. read full story / add a comment

From me: Quote: "tackling barriers faced by students with disabilities, LGBT students, Muslim students etc" From Richie: Quote: "Well of course That's important, however i believe that it is not as important ascatering, printing or the library. If you want equality prioritised over these issues then perhaps you should vote for mariel. They are part of my goals but they are not my number one priority" read full story / add a comment

A very short reminder that Italy celebrates a general election later this year. & for all intensive purposes its a very simple contest. In the right wing reconstructed popularist fascist corner :- Berlusconi. in the left wing reforming newly democratically legitimate centre pitching corner :- Prodi. Berlusconi is more than a politician. He is a billionaire who has exploited weaknesses in the post war Italian constitution to extend unwarrented power in all directions. Put very simply he is a "product". Regardless of what socio-economic class an italian comes from the "product" is still deftly targetted. Regardless of whether or not the targetted consumer likes or dislikes Berlusconi, the brand name has been completely absorbed. On the shelves of Italian newsagents one can buy a book of anti-Berlusconi insults, compiled by his office published by his press. His emergence has been one of the most serious challenges against XXI century democracy in Europe yet. & fighting him thus meant the development of new and interesting tactics. For the first time an opinion poll has placed Berlusconi slightly ahead of Prodi the same day that Berlusconi announces a fresh electoral pact with Alessandra Mussolini the direct descendent of the dictator. It is a sign of how he plays the "fascist" tradition in Italian culture. So I'd like to inform the readers whats going on & maybe encourage "italian interest" contributors to indymedia ireland to expand and clarify the themes touched - ______________________________________________________________________________ read full story / add a comment

For all they laugh, they are wrong. It is possible to see, during the past 25 years in at least this country, a movement towards a new settlement in politics. This movement has continued regardless of who has occupied which office, and regardless of what party has won which election. It is clear that the ruling class - or that loose coalition of politicians, bureaucrats, lawyers, educators, and media and business people who derive wealth and power and status from an enlarged and active state - wants an end of liberal democracy. The desired new settlement is one in which those at the top or with the right connections can enjoy the most fabulous wealth and status, and in which their enjoyment of these can never again be challenged from below. We, the ordinary people, are to be stripped of our constitutional rights - no freedom of speech, no personal or financial privacy, no procedural safeguards in the criminal law. We are to be taxed and regulated to what counts in our own culture as the edge of the breadline. This is on the one hand to provide incomes for clients of the ruling class, and on the other to deprive us of the leisure that might allow us to understand our situation, and of the confidence that might allow us to challenge it. In any event, every organ of the ruling class is at work on promoting ideologies of boundless submission to the new settlement. read full story / add a comment

Having attended three talks given by Micheal O’ Seghin of the Rossport 5, it has been remarkable that he has scarcely repeated himself in presenting the facts about what is happening in Mayo – and throughout Ireland – where the Shell to Sea campaign is concerned. Despite having recently posted a report from his discussion with Eamonn Dunphy at Trinity College in Dublin last week, it was clear at his most recent talk that it warranted a further report - presented here in Micheal's own words. The venue was O' Donovan’s Hotel, Clonakilty, 15 February 2006. read full story / add a comment

On the first anniversary of the Kyoto Protocol coming into force Friends of the Earth has criticised the government for inaction in the face of the growing threat of climate change. "The year since the Kyoto Protocol came into effect has seen no progress in Ireland on tackling climate change. The increase in Ireland's greenhouse gas pollution is running at twice the level allowed under Kyoto while government plans are running on empty", said Friends of the Earth Director, Oisin Coghlan. Friends of the Earth is asking people to email Minister Roche at http://www.climatepledge.ie as Ireland is currently participating in the preparation of the EU's negotiating position for the next round of emissions cuts. read full story / add a comment

The prosecutor (lawyer of state) is demanding that the two policemen be acquitted. He is clearly trying to turn the situation upside down and make the accused (aggressors) into the victims of the police intervention... The verdict will be announces Friday, 17th of February at 11.45 am. We call for everyone to come to the court for the verdict.
