Venezuela has an interesting relationship with the energy giant Shell. They actually force them to pay taxes, and when they submit estimates which the govt doesn't believe, they audit them and present them with a bill. Today they told Shell to pay back over thirteen million dollars that the company was trying to weasel out of from 2005. The Irish government, of course, has a more compliant attitude to the big energy companies... read full story / add a comment

Advocacy is an "in" term these days. When we advocate are we really pursuing the best interests of those on whose behalf we are advocating? Or are we only trying to placate and tell people what they want to hear? Then, too, there are often a lot of stock cribs which advocates may parrot easily off in the hope of gaining kudos or easy respect from the judges - the administrators and the public. read full story / add a comment

In Rathmines, Harold's Cross and Crumlin we are to lose St Luke's Hospital. In fact, the hospital scandal stretches further than that. We are to lose a cancer hospital which will be amalgamated with St James, the high property values allowed Minster Mc Dowell's Sidekick to sign the lands to speculators. There is a clinic in that hospital complex used by the parents of kids with CF and asthma called Lukedoc/Dubdoc- one TD from the area put down the question re losing our clinic published below is the reply from Mary Harney. read full story / add a comment

The Govt will launch their delayed white paper on energy today. It will seek to explain how it makes economic sense to simply give away billions of euro worth of natural gas to the big energy companies. Note to Noel Dempsey: When they say the policy is good for the economy, it's supposed to be the IRISH economy, not the Norwegian one. read full story / add a comment

Anyone who has had a child in primary school over the past couple of years has no doubt heard of the ‘Tesco Computers for Schools’ scheme whereby in return for vouchers collected when you do your shopping, Tesco give ‘free’ computer equipment to schools. You’ve probably also heard about Tesco’s ‘Sport For Schools and Clubs’ and SuperValu’s ‘Kids in Action’ schemes. If you’ve seen the TV ads for the SuperValu version, you’ll probably associate SuperValu with healthy, happy kids. read full story / add a comment
