People of Dún Laoghaire Boycott Boyd-Barrett Protest

Following the massive failure of Richard Boyd Barrett’s “Save Our Sea Front” protest to attract the support of the people of Dún Laoghaire on Sunday, it is now clear that the group holds little or no mandate to speak on the topic.

Barrett & the SWP have consistently claimed they have the support of the majority of locals in the area – yet just a little over 150 people out of a possible 50,000 residents in the Dún Laoghaire Ward turned up to support the protest.

I hope all the local Councillors Bailey, Devlin, Mitchell-O'Connor, Regan, Ireland & Dillon-Byrne will now stand-up to this fascist - bullyboy and move ahead with a second competition to develop the Dún Laoghaire Baths Site in partnership with the community so as to create a sustainable development that benefits the Town and the wider business community. read full story / add a comment

Immigration is a relatively new experience for Ireland with 1997 being the year which marked the start of large numbers of people (generally 10,000 a year) coming to Ireland seeking asylum. Ireland has a demographic problem, in that it has an ageing population and needs this immigration to sustain economic growth and labour supply. read full story / add a comment

Noam Chomsky is a professor of linguistics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In the 1950’s he redefined the field of linguistics, but outside of his linguistic work, he has become famed as a political dissident for his work in exposing the reality of American foreign intervention across the globe and in his analysis of the power structures governing the media machine guaranteeing the proliferation of ideas benefiting the established social order and elites. The New York Times described him as ‘arguably the most important intellectual alive.’ read full story / add a comment

The primary role of the police is to preserve the status quo in society. In other words, the first task of the police force, of any police force, is to ensure the rule of the State and the rich elite. In practice this means priority is given to concerns of State over that of the population. For example, in Stoneybatter, near Dublin city-centre, on a number of occasions, the Guards have responded to break-ins over 12 hours after the event. In contrast the Guards were always prompt in attending to the scene of a bin-truck blockade. read full story / add a comment

"The problems with aspartame include not only the biochemical nature of this toxin but also it sheds light on the political nature of the players involved. The changes in regulatory policies and regulations resulting from corporate-government ties and the politicians closely associated with these ties. What I can tell you, regarding toxicology, histology and biochemistry, is that aspartame is neurotoxic. Its components easily transcend the blood-brain barrier, interfering with normal nerve cell function. This affects the glutathione and calcium mechanisms in place, destroying nerve call integrity. The methanol then breaks down into formaldehyde-formic acid components, which denaturizes/mutates the DNA: a known scientific fact. The subsequent result from this interaction and from isolates of genetically modified amino acids, the methanol, is nerve cell necrosis and subsequent organ system degradation"

This essay argues that the conflict in the Persian Gulf is conditioned by the needs of American capitalism, and thus whether a Democrat or a Republican, a war hero or a draft dodger, sits in the Oval Office, it will make no difference to the propensity of the American state to commit acts of mass violence. An argument which is held up as a true by the record of Clinton, a man who recently received adulation in Dublin, yet whose administration slew far more than that of either Bush Snr. or Jnr. read full story / add a comment

Racism is alive and well in Ireland. Only the very dishonest or the very naïve can deny it. We all knew it was bad, we only had to listen to our friends, neighbours and workmates. We only had to look at how generations of Travellers were treated. But the result of the citizenship referendum really opened our eyes to how widespread it is. read full story / add a comment
