On Thursday, just after 10.30am, Limerick’s Congolese community along with Irish friends and supporters marched from Arthur’s Quay in the city centre, up O’Connell St., to O’Connell Avenue. There, a memorandum to the Irish Government and the International Community was read, calling their attention to the ongoing tragedy taking place in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It noted that over the last decade the world has allowed the deaths of 5 million people in Congo, and that in the eastern part of the country sexual abuse of women, forced recruitment of child soldiers and displacement from villages and homes are once again part of everyday life. read full story / add a comment

WE DON’T FOGET WE DON’T BACK DOWN

A good crowd gathered at the top of Grafton street at about 5.15pm on the cold dark Tuesday evening in December. We moved off towards St. Stephens green, about 25 of us heading towards Lesson street and the Greek Embassy. We went against the flow of people escaping work and rushing towards the illuminated beacon of the shopping centre.

At their National Congress in Cork City, on Saturday 6 December, Ógra Shinn Féin launched a new national campaign on education. The campaign, titled 'Educate to be Free' was launched by ÓSF National Organiser Barry McColgan, and was endorsed by Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams who was present.

Following the launch, the republican youth movement organised a No! Fees Protest on Cork's Patrick Street, which was well recieved by the public.

The following is the text from the launch:

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

national / education / news report Sunday December 07, 2008 22:55 by Paula Geraghty   image 10 images
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? What will it take? read full story / add a comment

Lawyers acting on behalf of Michael McKevitt have submitted a fresh application to the Supreme Court in Dublin seeking to have a previous Supreme Court judgement overturned and a new appeal initiated. This unprecedented action by McKevitt’s legal team is prompted by the fact that the previous Supreme Court judgement (July 2008) relied greatly on ‘facts’ provided by the prosecution. Subsequently, the Director of Public Prosecutions has acknowledged these to be inaccurate.

Eat lead, eat cake, bring back PD clone McCreevy - the FF Ryanair solution to the crisis

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. Sauce for the goose..... read full story / add a comment
