The Solitaire has moved on and is ‘off hire’ to Shell.

No press release has issued from Shell and they are behind in their weekly ‘progress’ reports to the PAD (Petroleum Affairs Divison) of Minister Eamon Ryan’s Department of Communication, Energy and Natural Resources, which can normally be read here: http://www.dcenr.gov.ie/Natural/Petroleum+Affairs+Divis...D.htm

A relaxed yet determined crowd gathered at the monthly vigil in Shannon this Sunday evening to protest against the ongoing use of the airport by the US military and CIA.

Today in Brussels representatives of the belgian people (Attac, Onzezeg, Notremotadire, CAP ao.) burried the Lisbon Treaty at the bourse in the centre of the Europeen Union.

People of Europe want their say on the EU.They want the referendums to be respected; This Treaty is not democratic and not protecting our social security. The non democratic way the EU is constructed over our heads is getting dangerous for our freedom and democracy our parents fought for!.

The policy of EU treaties, the European Commission, is to commercialise public services. Flowing from competition policy, the commission forces state providers to compete with private companies in the supply of public services.What will become the poor or week citicen in this junglefight?

These liberal EU strategies have led us to the recent global financial crisis which will not stop: 80 % of our national laws are dicted by the EU.

More actions will follow this week.
