The Government spent tax-payers money on an advertisement we have all, more than likely, seen. It is the ad saying, change your world, change the world. The Green Party now holds office, giving Ireland that positive hope of a greener future. Theres no denying, the Government has not completely failed us. There is a 'landfill' of criticism out there but we do have good and accessible recycling centres, green bins, and some like myself have brown bins. This is not the point. While we go out of our way to recycle, and are somewhat responsible for our part in changing the world for a more greener safer future. Where do the big businesses and Corporations come into all of this? read full story / add a comment

This is an open letter, sent this morning to all TDs using the form at contact.ie, asking for the cuts to education announced in Budget 2008 to be rolled back on. Feel free to copy and send it yourself to all or any TDs or modify it to suit your own school/constituency. If only 10% on indymedia.ie users send it to all TDs (about 2,000 people) that will mean 332,000 emails will be sent (2000 users multiplied by 166 TDs) and it will only take you one minute to copy the letter, fill out the form, and hit SEND. I can't but think it might make some difference. read full story / add a comment

Things are more and more fucked here in Iceland.
Iceland's three main banks have been nationalised and the tax payer now has to pay off the loans. The country is broke and the IMF have been called in and have imposed their usual austerity measures. Unemployment is growing rapidly along with the threat of people losing their homes. Alongside this the population is growing increasingly angry. read full story / add a comment

Galway, Ireland. This was filmed in November 2008. Thousands upon thousands of square metres of commercial space. All of it empty. Everybody is talking about the residential property crash while these buildings lay empty for years. Who is paying for this? Commercial property is still seen as a sure investment by banks. Why? This is a very big elephant is dancing in the cupboard. read full story / add a comment

Torab Salehi addressed the agm of HOPI Britain on the continuing threat of Imperialist aggression towards Iran. Here are some extracts from his speech. Full article at link. What we said and should continue saying is very simple: to build an effective and broad campaign opposing US war against Iran means we should not align ourselves with those who in the name of support for the Iranian people are actually aiding the plans of US imperialism to control and dominate the Middle East. Nor should we align ourselves with those who in the name of anti-imperialism and anti-US militarism, apologise for the Iranian mullahs’ theocratic hold on power. To this day, not one of our critics have given a straight answer as to why this statement is wrong. read full story / add a comment

Interesting head to head poll in the Times today- Mary Lou McDonald explains that is the same dinner, warmed up and stuck on a different plate, while Dick Roche tries to tell us that all Irish concerns have been met. But we didn't vote just as self-interested Irish people Dick, we voted as good Europeans. We want the best for Europe -which doesn't mean writing a blank cheque to the arms industry. read full story / add a comment
