A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Dermot Aherne calls for Sadam's life to be spared

Forigen Affairs minister 'calls on Iraq' not to use the death sentence on Sadam.

Dermot Aherne, our forigen affairs minister, on behalf of Ireland says he is opposed to the the death penalty for Sadam Hussein. He even joined with other UN countries to express his dissapproval of hanging as a form of punishment. Why then is he so silent about the 665,000 innocent Iraqi lives taken. More than a half million killed to remove one man who ironically was taken without a single shot fired. Why can he not also stand up and condemn George W. Bush and Tony Blair on behalf of Ireland, for what is looking more like genocide than democracy.
Is it because this bauched invasion has the support and blessing of our government and therefore we cannot condemn on one hand what we support with the other?. Is it because to our shame, we opened an Embassy in Baghdad to feed his army when everyone knew what atrocities he was comitting? Is it because our hands are also bloodied because rightly or wrongly we sarcrificed our dignity for economy? Our priests called for prayer momentarily and then fell eerily silent. Bertie said that it would be ‘a hostile act’ to remove facilities to the US military at Shannon airport. It is a sad day for Ireland when a minister calls for the life of Sadam Hussein to be spared while so many innocent people died, and not even one....... done anything to try to stop them being killed, or called for any of their lives to be spared.
