On Friday 5th December 2008, Ministers Eamon Ryan and Eamon O'Cuiv hosted a 'Forum' at the Broadhaven Bay Hotel, Belmullet, Erris, Co Mayo. Set in the context of the Shell Corrib Gas Project, what the forum is about or what it's supposed to address is not clear. “It's not a decision making forum”, said the chairman, Joe Brosnan. Meanwhile, in another room at the same venue, local residents and community activists hosted a parallel forum, the People's Forum, to address what the Ministers' forum will not address … the substantive issues, which are: Health, Safety & the Environment. The Great Gas Giveaway. Community Consent read full story / add a comment

Rallies and protests against the education cuts have taken place in Cork, Donegal, Galway and now Dublin. The same unions which have accepted the National Pay Deal are not accepting the cuts, the same people who voted to accepted the pay deal are not accepting the education cuts. This unresolved contradiction is at the heart of this new protest movement. The ideology of the market which became entrenched under Partnership and the Celtic Tiger is unravelling. These images reflect the search for a new language of resistance and a confusion on taking it forward. Who can do it? Who will do it? read full story / add a comment

THE Ryanair boss has made big mistakes, buying fuel at inflated prices, coming under pressure to cut in a company with the fat already peeled back to the bone. What does he do to distract attention - he gets more and more hysterical and wants to finally destroy the former state asset, Aer Lingus by buying it up to sell it off. He wants to be the monopoly he said he was going into business to prevent. O'Leary calls for "board members -- with a few notable exceptions -- to be 'taken out and shot' describing them as 'useless'." He is focusing in his Sunday Independent interview on trade unions and their representatives - this is the boss who says he can deal with trade unions - he will start by shooting them. Now he want to sell off CIE and the ESB to himself and his rich pals at knock-down prices We need a workers' solution - re-nationalise the lot and take over Ryanair - shoot O'Leary with publicly owned bullets if he resists.

The official story is that the origins of the current crisis lie in the collapse of the US subprime mortgage market - i.e. poor people not paying their mortgages. Although this may have been the trigger event, it is not the real cause. The real cause lies in pyramids not houses. Specifically the enormous debt pyramid built up by the Western countries, particularly those following the Anglo-saxon economic model - which, unfortunately for us, includes Ireland. read full story / add a comment

Big Business doesn’t like what’s happening in South America. The election of reforming governments in Peru and Ecuador might have been a bearable irritant but that Chavez guy in Venezuela has really got up their noses. In Bolivia sections of the local ruling class got so riled up that they tried to overthrow President Morales in September. The US ruling class, in collusion with local bosses, is trying to destabilise political and economic reforms. As they see it, too much is going to workers and peasants, and not enough into their own coffers. read full story / add a comment

Political Quiz: You were the Fianna Fáil Minister for Finance during the last few years. There is a massive economic crash landing happening because of your policies, which focused economic activity on selling houses to each other rather than building up things like education, culture, home grown industry etc. What do you do now? 1.Make the poor pay- strip funding from pensioners, students, schoolkids and the under-priviliged. 2.Blame the international situation. 3.Blame the people who voted against Lisbon. 4. Put your hands up, admit your mistakes, and invest in basic services which will make the recession a bit more bearable for everyone. (hint- this is Fianna Fáil remember...) Anyway, at least he's not Enda Kenny. read full story / add a comment |
