Recently the Department of Justice looked for submissions on their plans to place 18 CCTV cameras in Galway City. I sent in the one on behalf of the Defend Free Speech, Assembly, and Activity Campaign. (see http://www.indymedia.ie/newswire.php?story_id=61744 ). We raised various concerns, potential for misuse, invasion of privacy, issues over use of resources and inefficiency of CCTV as a deterrent, and the lack of real consultation as it seemed the decision had already been made to introduce these regardless of submissions made. The sham of a consutation process became even more obvious during the week. This is relevant to the whole country not just because of plans to bring in new CCTV cameras to 17 locations around the country, but because it shows how the government and state works. Anyway here is some information on the issue. read full story / add a comment

TOP STORY: Lies, The Lying Liars Who Tell Them and the Law of Unintended Consequences http://lark.phoblacht.net/liesandthelyingliars.html Tom Luby As Ireland’s various pundits and analysts this week furiously scratch their heads and wonder how the Northern peace process can be rescued from the cul de sac in which it now finds itself, it might be worth their while to reflect a little on one sobering truth about the current position. read full story / add a comment

The same corporate establishment that clearcuts the forests, pollutes air and water and food, paves open spaces, violates work safety laws, creates "FrankenFood" and so forth, pushes "no smoking". There is a LOT wrong with this picture. read full story / add a comment

isf dublin 2003 it's amazing to sit with people of many political hues & experience, people who've worked on & thought about all these issues & hammer out actual alternatives, without party political broadcasts & with genuine respect for other viewpoints. cos you might learn something. read full story / add a comment

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Far-Left for providing one of the most entertaining political campaigns of the last few years. How I've laughed as I've watched a group of Socialist/SWP people badly run, badly represent and badly debate a ridiculous "struggle" that nobody wants. Everyone knows they're simply doing it to try and gain seats in next years local elections - but they may have achieved the complete opposite. Their campaign is about to implode (probably with the usual Left-Wing in-fighting and bickering), and the only thing they've gained is the comtempt of the vast majority of Dublin householders. Expect repercussions in the next Local and General elections. No wonder the Labour Party have kept relatively quiet on the issue over the last few weeks. read full story / add a comment

Michael Moore is often cited as the accessible face of the left -- someone that's in touch with the people, someone that doesn't retreat into the ghetto of arcane politics. For many he's also a shallow populist that misses the boat on many important issues, oversimplifies complex arguments and fails to provide solutions. In his new book he's gone much further: he condemns a man on death row inspite of the absence of a fair trial. read full story / add a comment

September saw Iraq being put up for sale. Learning no lessons from the disaster in Russia, the US-run administration has unveiled a sweeping overhaul of the economy, giving foreign companies near total access to Iraqi firms which are to be sold off in a privatisation frenzy. read full story / add a comment
