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. read full story / add a comment

This is an extract from an interview with Ali Pichgah, one of the founding members of the oil workers’ shora (council) who later played an important role in the first major oil strike against the Theocracy. Ali details the oil workers actions which helped to bring down the Shah and the later struggles against the Theocracy. Comrade Pichgah is a supporter of Hands Off the People of Iran. Full text at link. How do you assess current workers’ struggles in Iran? First of all, I must say that as long as capitalism rules class struggle exists. The capitalist order in Iran has managed to survive through repression and force, and the spreading of religious superstition and falsehoods. However, as far as the workers’ struggle is concerned, our ranks are divided; and as long as we can’t unite on a large scale, this repression will continue. Unity requires the building of strong, mass workers’ organisations. read full story / add a comment

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.

Much has been said over the Lisbon Treaty and the future direction of Europe under the heel of the emerging “European Soviet” (Reference to the EU by M. Gorbachev, London 2001). Yet there is little in the way of real debate on the more informative topics of nationhood, sovereignty and “que bono” (who benefits). This article sets out to stimulate such questions. The text of an informative Lecture called “The State of Individuals” by one of Americas most worthy Political Historians is provided for discussion. read full story / add a comment

Brian Crowley MEP: With all respect, Mr. President, you will not tell me what the Irish think. As an Irishman, I know it best. President Vaclav Klaus: I do not speculate about what the Irish think. I state the only measurable data which were proved by the referendum... ... If Mr. Crowley speaks of an insult to the Irish people, then I must say that the biggest insult to the Irish people is not to accept the result of the Irish referendum. In Ireland I met somebody who represents a majority in his country. You, Mr. Crowley, represent a view which is in minority in Ireland. That is a tangible result of the referendum. read full story / add a comment

RTE is this country’s national broadcasting agency for both television and radio. I doubt it very much if a columnist writing in a mainstream newspaper in Britain would feel the need to write, ‘The BBC is this country’s national broadcasting agency’. read full story / add a comment
