If Katy French had grown up in Finglas or Ballyfermot or Clondakin or Lucan or someother place that the politicians in the Dail and establishment who live in leafy afluent parts of South Dublin do not know exist and was working in a supermarket when she died from using cocaine her death would have been mentioned in a tiny paragraph in the newspapers and would not resurface until months later the coroner would rule the fatalily was the result of death through misadventure. If Katy French had not died this past week the deaths and hospitalisation of a number of young men in Waterford and in the Midlands from drug use would hardly have earned a mention in the mainstream broadsheets. read full story / add a comment

There is a growing concern among the people of Ireland about the credibility of solicitors and the Law Society. Change is needed soon, because people are becoming increasingly frustrated and upset with the anomalies, injustices and delays that they have to encounter in their dealings with unscrupulous solicitors.

This morning I bought the Irish Times and got a headache. Two things caused deep annoyance; and they are related: the State will pursue one of our best Heritage campaigners for 500,000 Euros costs and a letter in the Letter's Page talks of Cregganbaun and Killary in relation to Eamon Ryan's granting of licences to prospectors for gold.Killary Harbour is a Fjord, it provided a place for Wittgenstein to think and its got a quality of silence that should be left undisturbed-but thats what you get when self-publicists get into the Dail- Rattle and Hum. read full story / add a comment

The health trust in Craigavon are going to close two respite wards in Lurgan Hospital and farm out the service to the private sector. This is the type of social issue that Trade Unions should be getting involved with, but as usual the leadership is somewhat lacking. read full story / add a comment

For those following the Hidden History on Coolnacrease below is published a transcript of the Joe Duffy Liveline programme of Nov 6th 2007 on RTE. It features Jack Lane and Tom Carew. There is also a link to the transcript of the previous day's Liveline where the same topic was duscussed. I have tried to give the discussion verbatim where possible, but due to sound quality and the natural cadence of conversation, on occasion it wasn't possible to catch every word. Where I have some doubt about the actual words, I have used [ ?] read full story / add a comment

The reality is that Ireland is now firmly in the imperialist camp in world affairs alongside the US/UK. In four crucial areas of foreign policy – Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Palestine – Ireland is fully behind the US/UK in their aggressive behaviour towards the Muslim world. You will search in vain in the Programme for Government for any mention of actual policy – past, present or future – on Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and Palestine. But it is a racing certainty that, despite the presence of the Green Party, the new government will continue to support (a) the US/UK wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; (b) the US/UK punishment of Iran for enriching uranium, which is Iran’s right as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT); and (c) the US/UK backing for the Israeli occupation and colonisation of Arab lands. read full story / add a comment

‘If a person leaves their country looking for work this is called emigration, if young people travel in search of adventure it’s called backpacking, but when anyone leaves Cuba for any reason, according to the world’s media and television they ‘flee’ or even ‘flee the Castro regime’ So noted Jose Israel Rodriguez Martinez a community development worker from central Havana who spent last week in Galway as the guest of the Galway One World Centre. Jose was invited to Galway to address the ‘Developments Futures’ conference in National University of Ireland Galway last weekend. During Jose’s visit we had the chance to enquire into the realities of daily life in urban Cuba .In order to offer his personal perspective as an addition or an alternative to more customary sources of information some of the points discussed by Jose are reported here read full story / add a comment

Two Government Departments mandated with taking care of the well-being of our kids have been shown to display two-tier policy which favours the wealthy and ghettoises the poor. No surprises there except that both are run by experienced and rather limited women politicians; Mary Hanafin and Mary Harney. This year 2007 saw severe criticism by anti-poverty groups of both departments in the wake of published OECD reports. Ms Hanafin's department had a critical underspend which favours the private school sector and Ms Harney's Department published a 2005 report criticising cancer care without an operating link to the report in toto. http://www.indymedia.ie/article/84946 read full story / add a comment
