This film documentary is about the traditional role of the midwife. It opens with a re-enactment of calling the midwife in a West Cork village where one of the first trained midwives lived and worked above Levis's pub (unchanged to this day). Her niece (now 101yrs old) still lives in the pub and recalls fathers coming in a pony and trap & waking the midwife. Women tell stories and cine footage of the old days combine with beautiful scenery to depict the traditional role of the midwife. University lecturers and midwife teachers are interviewed about what it might mean for midwives and women if the skills of the community midwife are wiped out altogether in Ireland (there are only 17 Independent midwives practising outside of hospitals). read full story / add a comment

Pyjama Girls isn't your typical commerical release. Its a film which deserves a space on Indymedia. Pyjama Girls, a new Irish documentary by Maya Derrington that examines the lives of two of Dublin’s ‘pyjama girls’, will screen at some of the country’s most prominent cinemas as part of a DIY distribution campaign. The film sold out its week-long run at Dublin’s IFI and was moved from the smallest to the largest screen after one day. IFI director Sarah Glennie says “the film attracted a new audience profile to the cinema – it’s pyjama mania!” read full story / add a comment

Maryam Namazie spoke at the anti Pope rally in London on Saturday. Maryam makes clear that the struggle against religious obscurantism is going to continue. Full text at link. We choose humanity whilst the pope, Ahmadinejad and Islamists choose religious dogma at the expense of humanity. The pope complains of ‘aggressive secularists.’ Well they haven’t seen anything yet. We’re going to push them back. We want to – demand to - live in the 21st century. read full story / add a comment

FAS,the troubled state agency has lost all credibility,and this has not just been recently,this has been happening for years,with the government of the state 'training educational' agency,standing by still in support of these 'services',to provide free labour,and continue to not pay the people making FAS happen,the ce workers.FAS pay employers who take on their FAS employees hundreds of euros,while the FAS ce or apprentices,get paid by social welfare,this is not a system that works for the unemployed,currently only 3 % of former fas workers are employed in the jobs market,so what good has FAS done for the unemployed minus themselves and thier business associates apart from making the dole stats look good,what use is that when FAS are draining our economy and providing no job oppurtunities across the board. brainstorming for a new name will not solve the old problems in the well heeled FAS senior management. read full story / add a comment

Hi, Activists in Italy have asked us to organise a protest outside the Italian Embassy in Dublin, in solidarity with their campaign to close Green Hill beagle breeders (which is owned by the notorious Marshall Farms Inc.). Green Hill currently imprison 2,500 beagles and ship them to all around Europe, mainly to companies such as Novartis, Wyeth, Bayer as well as Italian laboratories - and even Huntingdon Life Sciences, the biggest animal testing laboratory in the UK. In previous months, they applied for an expansion to stock 5,000 beagles in total, and as a result a campaign was launched in Italy which had this application stopped. Now, the campaign aims to close down the farm, which is breaching Italian law. The campaign is also aiming to get a complete ban on vivisection in Italy. For more information, Google-translate their website: http://www.fermaregreenhill.net/wp/ read full story / add a comment

Thousands have come out to protest against the Pope in London. Victims of abuse by clergy, Humanists, Atheists, Anarchists,Socialists, Liberals, LGBTQs, Feminists; all varieties of progressives were present to give the finger to the Panzer Pope. Full text at link. Peter Tatchell who has a track record of opposing other dictators such as Mugabe said: "This is not an attack on Catholic people or the Catholic faith. We are critical of certain policies of the Pope. When he says no woman is fit to be a priest, that's an insult to the whole of female humanity. When he says a husband must not use a condom to protect his wife from infection - even if he has HIV - that's irresponsible." read full story / add a comment
