There is 'a plan' for tomorrow, Wed Jan 13th folks at Castlebar Courthouse - where we hope and intend to (peacefully) place the spotlight on the outrageous abuses of the law and the Constitution which are ongoing daily in our so-called 'Courts of Justice!' Amongst the issues we wish to highlight are: (1) NO more private or secret Courts. (2) NO more illegal assaults on the public. (3) Registrars and Judges to abide by the law. (4) Proper sanctions for fraud, perjury and contempt of Court (by authority figures). (5) Proper action on legitimate citizen's arrests. (6) Equality for lay litigants. (7) ..and an end to multiple abuses of our fundamental rights by politically-appointed Judges and Registrars. TV cameras are expected, so let's make the most of it! read full story / add a comment

IPRT particularly welcomes that imprisonment will be a sanction of “last resort” for fines default, used only when other sanctions have failed. read full story / add a comment

There is no doubt that the images in the film The Danish Girl are lovely and a joy to watch as are the leading actors Eddie Redmayne as Einar Wegener and Alicia Vikander as Gerda Gottlieb. Screenplay is by Lucinda Coxon an excellent minimalist job as regards dialogue but eloquent as regards narrative. The director is Tom Hooper. This is a classy really well shot and well worked out film. I am not going into the plot. The best way to get that is to attend the film. One thing that struck me apart from the drama is that the film presents a marvellous portrait of what marriage should really mean. But despite the beauty of the images this is an unsettling film. Please excuse me if I share below some of the thoughts the film provoked for me. read full story / add a comment

The Boycott Farmed Salmon campaign has issued a reply to an IFA statement on Friday alleging the campaign was engaging in a ‘smear campaign’. It has published two more pre-slaughter tests confirming the presence of antibiotic, anti-parasitic and anaesthetic chemicals. [1] In a statement the campaign said it stood entirely behind the publication and accuracy of the pre-slaughter test results for farmed salmon they published on line last week showing the presence of 10 chemicals. The Information Commissioner reversed the Department of Agriculture Fisheries and Foods 2012 decision not to release these reports in July of this year. [2] read full story / add a comment
