Yesterday I was horrified to see that politic campaigns are getting started and soon we will have to endure giant billboards of Michael McDowell face scaring us at every turn. Something you would not want to run into in a dark alley. But this got me thinking about a serious question, should political parties have anything to do with Students’ Unions? read full story / add a comment

In the last number of years we have heard about Gardai indiscipline and Gardai brutality in our country. The Morris Tribunal in Donegal states that is fact. But tonight let us focus on prison in-discipline and prison collusion of hatred within the system. The 17 years I worked with Simon gives rise to meeting a variety of people. They were mostly homeless due to a compulsory overtime system. This system was overturned in the High Court in the 1980's but it was too late for hundreds of officers who suffered from depression and additcton to alcohol within the System. Tonight I give their story. read full story / add a comment

Today marks the fourth anniversary of the Pitstop Ploughshares action at Shannon Airport in which a US navy plane was decommissioned with the aid of tools and symbols of peace. This five-part article by Harry Browne charts the journey of the action from inception to acquittal, and in turn, paints a portrait of each of the five activists who sacrificed so much, that others might not suffer. read full story / add a comment

Mrs Thatcher once said 'there was no such thing as society or community', and she dedicated her years in power to destroying many working class communities, through privatisation and closure of industries, and the depletion of council public housing stock by promoting private property ownership. In Thatchers tiny insulated world of isolated inward looking, nuclear family units, living in detached or semi detached private properties, whose only opportunity for socialising is through the workplace, and only allegiance is to their isolated families, and making money. Hence the abundance of programmes on tv promoting buying houses, selling us the capitalist dream. read full story / add a comment

This morning as thousands of delegates went to the Ard Fheis of Sinn Fein in Dublin to discuss policing matters & shock the unionists by saying "yes" & of course include plastic bullets in the list of lethal weapons - elsewhere the road to peace, dialogue & inter-community relations seems as daunting as ever before. The Basque moderate nationalists PNV who hold and have held the democratic majority in Euskadi launched the counter-offensive against the Spanish state judiciary who have put the Lehandakari (taoiseach) in the dock "for talking to Batasuna". Meanwhile thousands of people including many hundreds of "heavy weights" from the world of culture & intelligentsia concentrated in Barcelona to demand dialogue more than 80 entities took part including all left wing parties & Catalan nationalist formations & many Basque peace groups. read full story / add a comment

I was quite surprised at the reaction of the Report by Nuala O'Loan on Collusion and the murder of innocent people during the dreadful Troubles in the North of Ireland. My surprise is like that of the Haughey Repoirt and corruption, it proves that inspite of the fact that we all know, denial takes over. Some years ago, Nuala O'Loan gave a report on the 1998 Omagh bombing. Her reporr then was thorough and very well investigated. Afterwards, Ronnie Flanagan, the then Chief Constable of the RUC, when he said in public 'I will commit suicide if one single statement of this report is true'. At that time Nuala O'Loan criticised the handling by the RUC before and after the Omagh bombing. Nuala O'Loan had come across serious evidence that the RUC ignored vital information which may have prevented the attack. Do not forget that the Gardai Special Branch have serious matters to answer on this matter too. read full story / add a comment

Last Tuesday in his State of the Union address, Bush was explicit about the future of the US war machine in Iraq and further afield : "to design and establish a volunteer civilian reserve corps. Such a corps would function much like our military reserve. It would ease the burden on the Armed Forces by allowing us to hire civilians with critical skills to serve on missions abroad when America needs them". However, this force, this outsourcing of privateers is already doing its lethal work in Iraq and Afghanistan, read full story / add a comment

The recent Special Branch buck passing fiasco is proof that the PSNI is far from reformed. As relatives of those murdered by UVF serial killers under the thumb of Special branch have found out,, Special branch are still in no mood for admitting culpability in murder. Hugh Orde has said it wouldn't happen on his watch, but under his watch, Johnny Adair's 'C' company were allowed free reign to murder unchallenged. read full story / add a comment

This evening I was listening to Minister Michael McDowell on Radio 1 at 5 O'Clock in relation to the murder of the young innocent man last night. This 'Dying Wasp' has an amazing lifespan. McDowell spoke of a research committee on how to tackle organised crime. This so called genius is now almost 7 years in power, between being Attorney General and in the last 5 years, Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform...... read full story / add a comment

In considering the recent revelations about Mark Haddock’s UVF career at tax payer’s expense, as a killer informant for the RUC, let us not forget Ian Paisley. Last week the Historical Enquiries Team of the PSNI was forced to apologise to Eugene Reavey for the RUC whispering campaign that tried to justify the sectarian shooting of Reavey’s three brothers in January 1976 in Whitecross, south Armagh. The shootings happened the day before the Kingsmill massacre of 10 Protestant civilians on January 5 1976, in the same general area. Three members of the O’Dowd family were also shot dead by the UVF the previous day. The Reavey and O’Dowd killings happened within 30 minutes of each other. read full story / add a comment
