1. How are we looking at photographs of an event which is supposed to be happening tomorrow? Is this a press release for something which has already taken place? Why is there no mention in the event listings?
2. If the stunt is planned for tomorrow, you should know that every Friday, the Houses of the Oireachtas are empty as there are no debates scheduled. TD's are very rarely to be found in Leinster House on a normal Friday. On the last Friday before Christmas, there certainly won't be many-if any-TD's there.
3. There is an illegal war being prosecuted with the willing compliance of the Irish government. A shackled prisoner was witnessed being transported through Shannon by a cleaner earlier this year, the first eye-witness account of the use of Irish sovereign territory for rendition flights. Meanwhile the country's natural resources are being handed over to multi-nationals by a corrupt administration, prepared to attack and brutalise anyone who protests. Evidence of this corruption, moral as well as financial, is everywhere. This year we have seen evidence of institutional racism, deaths in police custody, misinformation, the redistribution of wealth from the poor to the well-off through SSIA's, as well as a host of other issues which show a state fast losing any claim to be a representative, democratic republic. And what do the Union of Students protest about? Their own members' financial situation.
4. You probably mean "just desserts''.

"Amnesty International and other human rights organizations, including the North American Free Speech Association, accuse North Korea of having one of the worst human rights records of any nation, severely restricting most freedoms, including freedom of speech and freedom of movement, both inside the country and abroad. The State of World Liberty Index ranks North Korea last out of 159 countries in terms of citizens' freedom. North Korean exiles have testified as to the existence of detention camps with an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 inmates, and have reported torture, starvation, rape, murder and forced labour. Japanese television aired what it said was footage of a prison camp. In some of the camps, US officials and former inmates say the annual mortality rate approaches 20% to 25%. An estimated two million civilians have been killed by the government. A former prison guard and army intelligence officer said that in one camp, chemical weapons were tested on prisoners in a gas chamber. According to a former prisoner, pregnant women inside the camps are often forced to have abortions or the newborn child is killed. The people of North Korea have also been implicated in terrorist attacks in South Korea, (Wahn Kihl 1983: 106) as well as assassinations of dissidents in nearby states."
.....and yet many people protest over one mad despot invading another mad despot's country via Shannon.
Hypocrite!
Today, Colm Hamroge is "protesting" outside the Dail. How long will it be until we see him on the other side of the gates in a suit? At least Tony Mc Donnell (sp?) made an effort and occupied the department, while Colm prances around trying to get his name and face in the paper.
At Congess in March delegates voted to make this year a campaigning year. What happened to that, or was it just another pathetic attempt to fool students for another year?
If these students had any kind of knowledge at all they would know that it is not coal but a bag of soot that is the traditional present from Santa for misbehaviour. Coal is actually useful.

they always do
So where's the naughty and nice list? Which parties and their representatives (not to mention independents) are and are not on the list?
You probably mean "deserts."
