Union leaders are now calling for the Cowen/Gormley mob to go. Jimmy Kelly kicks the ball rolling with a call to join in ICTUs demo November 27th. But thats hardly enough.Jimmy at the time said that UNITE was forced into the Croke Park deal. The record of te ICTU leadership must be examined. Its their craven policies which gave the Cowen Junta the ability to cut wages even further and to now plan to demolish the Health, Welfare and Education sectors.

Support the ICTU Demo but no illusions in ICTU. We need a new Union leadership. One that fights to make the rich pay for the crisis.

Jimmy Kellys statement is below.

We urgently need a national strike, this comming week, to force the corrupt incompetent Fianna Fail/Green regime out of government. If we fail to do so we deserve some of the shame and devestation that is being heaped upon us. We need to take back our country from the shysters and liars who claim to be governing on our behalf. We need to act now or forever live in shame as the children of Ireland suffer and are forced to emigrate.

international / rights, freedoms and repression / press release Friday November 19, 2010 21:36 by Mark Stephens
On the morning of 21 August 2010, my client, Julian Assange, read in the Swedish tabloid newspaper Expressen that there was a warrant out for his arrest relating to allegations of “rape” involving two Swedish women.

However, even the substance of the allegations, as revealed to the press through unauthorized disclosures do not constitute what any advanced legal system considers to be rape; as various media outlets have reported “the basis for the rape charge” purely seems to constitute a post-facto dispute over consensual, but unprotected sex days after the event. Both women have declared that they had consensual sexual relations with our client and that they continued to instigate friendly contact well after the alleged incidents. Only after the women became aware of each other’s relationships with Mr. Assange did they make their allegations against him. read full story / add a comment

The Irish Congress of Trade Unions have called a national demonstration on 27th November in Dublin which will see tens of thousands take to the streets. But many are very unhappy with the ICTU leadership and a march called on the basis of 'fairer' cuts and a return to the disasterous policy of Social Partnership. The 1% Network will be taking part in the demonstration not to support the demands of the ICTU leadership but to outline what we see as the alternative. This is not in the expectation that the ICTU leadership can be convinced but because we want to make the argument to the thousands of workers who will take part that it is up to all of us to organise what is needed, a general strike, despite that leadership. read full story / add a comment

Speakers: Senator David Norris and Jon Mc Court

Background: VSI was founded in 1965 and Service Civil International SCI in 1920. Together we are celebrating 45 and 90 years of working for peace through international volunteering in Ireland and in over 70 countries worldwide. SCI was founded in the aftermath of World War 1 and the first project was the restoration of villages and communities destroyed by the war near Verdun in France. The project brought together volunteers from the previous warring nations –Germany, Britain, France, Italy and Austria and was a positive attempt at reconciliation and international understanding. Today VSI and SCI continue that tradition in our work for peace in Ireland and around the world.
We are very happy to have David Norris and Jon Mc Court with us today to share their ideas and views on working for a more just and peaceful world.

It's now official, the Irish state is in talks with the EU and the IMF about a so called 'rescue plan' to bail out the Irish capitalist class from the disaster created by the international crash of the capitalist economic system. A crisis that was magnified in Ireland by the corruption of local crony capitalism on the one hand and the dependency of the economy on 'globalization' on the other. Trapped between such a cast of crooks and idiots it is perhaps not surprising that many in Ireland hope things will be improved when the running of our lives will be handed over to those who many hope might have a clue. read full story / add a comment

Campaign Against The Cuts To Beaumont Hospital Public Meeting in St John Vianney Hall Ardlea Road Artane at 8pm on Monday 6th December

In beaumont hospital two wards were closed earlier this year with a further closure of another 10 beds recently. This means that at least 62 beds have been closed already this year. Further threats to services to renal patients are also being made. Patient services to these patients have been curtailed – down from two wards to one. Meanwhile as these wards lie empty the a&e crisis in beaumont continues to become more and more chaotic read full story / add a comment
