I was going out with a girl from near Dolphins barn when josie dwyer was killed . I used to pass him quite frequently , he was always on the grass outside the flats or hanging around the railings on the bridge . A pathetic sight he couldnt have weighed more than 7 or 8 stone .

Before he was killed if you walked through Fatima chances are youd be approached maybe a couple of times and asked if you were looking gear . And it only takes a minute to walk through it . One guy even employed the Moore street selling technique of yelling " come get yer luvverly gear" while riding round on a mountain bike . The drugs thing was just out of control . The bird I went with attended many anti drug vigils and marches and even favoured shooting the bigger dealers dead . Last I heard of her years ago she was addicted to smoking the stuff herself - just gave up . Beautiful girl too , an awful waste .

Im not surprised to be honest Josie Dwyer got thumped even though it was w read full story / add a comment

The unoffical action and indeed the direct action taken by the SIPTU members on the two Irish Ferries Ships in Wales tonight should be commenended and supported wholeheartedly by the leadership of SIPTU and ICTU.Both leaderships should now publicly support in the strongest possible terms the action taken by the Irish Ferries workers without reserve.

Surely now these workers must now be facing criminal proceedings by the managment and the owners of Irish Ferries?.

While it is unfortunate and regrettable that the SIPTU members of Irish Ferries have been left with no other alternative but to resort to this desperate but principled and very admirable and brave stand, it must be causing the leadership and bueracracy of SIPTU an unwanted and untold headach of migraine proportions.

The direct action that the Irish Ferries workers have taken has shown that the Industrial Relations Act of 1990 should never have been even contemplated nor considered read full story / add a comment

Today the Taoiseach was once again doing what he does best –making meaningless but reassuring remarks. In an article in today's Irish Independent Bertie insisted that the US military’s use of Shannon does not make Ireland a potential target of Islamist terror. Whatever the truth of this is Bertie’s longstanding strategy of actively supporting the US military while attempting to portray himself as a neutral party is fooling noone least of all the Pitstop Ploughshares who are now facing yet another retrial. Below is an account of a chance meeting with the Taoiseach and his inimitable political style. read full story / add a comment
