Nothing But Contempt For The Court Of The Rich
The Bin Tax was introduced almost four years ago in Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown County Council and thereafter in the other Dublin Councils. Since then campaigns against the tax have sprung up throughout the capital.

It is also part of the commitment of this government to privatisation of essential services.’ more ==> http://lark.phoblacht.net/courtofrich.html
I Dreamt I Saw Joe H Last Night
Paul O'Connor, writing in Sinn Fein’s RM mail distribution service, has highlighted the imbalance in the state attitude to those disobeying the law, pointing out that Liam Lawlor has spent time in Mountjoy but, tellingly, not for corrupting the planning system. And those at present planning corrupting the economic wellbeing of the already ailing poorer sections of society through the bin tax have secured the jailing of Joe Higgins and Clare Daly. Both socialist political prisoners may gain solace from Henry David Thoreau who felt that 'under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.' more ==> http://lark.phoblacht.net/dreamedjoeh.html
