A new study followed 400,000 men for 15 years and found no benefit from screening for prostate cancer. The problem is over-medicalisation and over-diagnosis, say Carl Heneghan and Tom Jefferson.

Wednesday 29th November saw the 'Women in Struggle' DVD and discussion held in the University of Ulster Jordanstown Campus.

The DVD charted the key role of women within the Irish freedom struggle from its conception right upto the modern era. The event was oraganised by the Jordanstown Ógra cumann, and they were delighted to have in their company, Sinn Féin's National Director fo Gender Equality, Eibhlin Glenholmes.

Following the DVD showing, Eibhlin addressed the audience, encouraging young people to become active in politics and identifying particularly the need for young women to make a difference.

Eibhlin's address was met with much enthusiasm, evident in the debate which followed. The floor was opened up, with questions on the role of women activists in the armed struggle and questions on modern political developments making for a very interesting discussion.

Commenting on the event spokesperson Johnny McGibbon said,

"We hope today's event has highlighted the key role of women in the Republican struggle. From the women of 1916 to volunteers like Mairead Farrell, women have consitently resisted British Rule in Ireland."

He continued,

"With Ógra currently running a national campaign against exploitation-'A.R.I.S.E.'- it is only fitting we show people, their is a role for everyone in Ógra and in Republicanism. Today's leadership given by activists like Eibhlin, and many others, is an inspiration to all Republicans."

A.R.I.S.E. Comrades !! JOIN THE REVOLUTION !!
