Keir Starmer?s Anti-Israel Policies Are Now No Different to Jeremy Corbyn?s Tue Jul 30, 2024 13:00 | Will Jones
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn, Keir Starmer has never described Hezbollah as his friends. But other than that, when it comes to Israel there is now little of consequence to differentiate them, says Stephen Pollard.

Is the Muslim Vote Abandoning Labour? Tue Jul 30, 2024 11:00 | Frank Haviland
Is the 'Muslim vote' set to abandon Labour? With three quarters of British Muslims refusing to believe Hamas committed atrocities on October 7th, it's hard to see how Labour can retain them, says Frank Haviland.

Bridget Phillipson is wrong about the Higher Education Freedom of Speech Act she has just torpedoed, says Oxford law academic Dr Julius Grower. It won't increase legal action for universities but will ease it.

Jump To Comment: 1 2dear tony,
There was a recent story about a heritage group in cavan fighting a quarry proposal
at Ardkillmore mountain. Other than that I know that there have been strong campaigns up
Ballinasloe way re quarry/superdump issues.
Google the Red branch heritage group.
Also : The Strategic Infrastructure bill will pass thru the oireachtas
this week, this allows for the crony lobby to apply for what they can term
critical infrastructure planning. New legislations round the bill are suspect
I haven't the links but I put them up on the event guide and in the newswire.
new laws re locus standi and recognised heritage groups with twelve months inception
will erode your right to access judicial review.
The people at tara heritage Preservation Group have been holding workshops on the issue
of the Law and citizenship. Google THPG.
my contact is at the top here. I can provide you with numbers and adresses.
There appears to be no control of quarrying activities in Co. Galway by the county council and there have been problems with Larkin quarries, Costello and Welby quarries, Moycullen...concerning ownership and proper title. In Rusheenamanagh, Carna a commonage has been exploited illegally by an operator for the last 20 years. Galway county council registered the "quarry" in name of O Cualain Teo. in October 2005
without either advising the landowners involved or obtaining their written consent. The operator claimed that since he was in situ for a period of over 12 years he now extinguished the rights to turbary and commonage of anyone acquiring property in the area since 1991 and claimed squatters' rights over 34 acres of commonage. This was contested by a local landowner and at Clifden Circuit Court Judge Raymond Groarke ruled the operator was trespassing on commonage and gave him one year to vacate and remediate site.
There had been a communal quarry beside commonage since days of CDB and Board of Works took sand for public roads from that source up to 1963. However the quarry operator said he had exclusive use of the commonage and quarry since 1961...when he was a teenager. (He started as a blasting contractor and c. 1983 put machinery on commonage.) The quarry workings have been intensified to such an extent that there is hardly any commonage left. In spite of court ruling the county council has not suspended activity on commonage...drilling, blasing and excavation continue as per usual.
