The sweeping House of Commons reforms proposed by Green MP Ellie Chowns are evidence that the Mrs Dutt-Pauker types have moved from Peter Simple's columns into public life. We're in for a bumpy ride, says Sean Walsh.

Debt-Funded GB Energy to Bet on the Costliest Electricity Generation Technologies Sat Jul 27, 2024 15:00 | David Turver
So much for Labour's pledge to cut energy bills by £300, says David Turver. Under GB Energy, our bills can only go one way, and that is up.

Victorian Laws Against Priests Meddling in Politics Are Now Needed More Than Ever ? To Prevent Imams... Sat Jul 27, 2024 11:46 | Steven Tucker

'You try booking a Travellers' wedding!'
I-RMS stewarding Pride? With rumours circulating that the company has a contract to provide security for RTÉ OBs, it seems remarkable that they're now out and about in Dublin? What right did they have to 'ask you for your credentials'? This has gotta be a piss-take?
The photo above sums up IRMS performance in the last few days here in Erris.They will certainly have a bad reputation a when the video footage of three activists INSIDE the compound is posted later today .
As if the Solitaire having to flee Kayaks wasn`t enough.
Talk about being caught with your pants down.
As a gay man and photographer myself, I am totally disgusted by IRMS's involvement in Dublin Pride and particularly the stopping and checking of photographers' credentials. Under what power and authority is I-RMS doing this? Did the Dublin Pride Committee sanction this approach?
That photograph above of an IRMS security guard with a megaphone in his had "supervising" the event says it all. I'm fucked if I will ever attend a pride event that allows IRMS to supervise me! I will certainly be boycotting any future pride events that involve IRMS. How times have changed. I remember attending pride marches in the very early 1990's when you'd be lucky to have a few hundred people marching and any sort of media coverage was extremely thin on the ground and most welcome when it was around. Now they have hired corporate private security to check “credentials”. WTF?
If any feels like contacting Dublin Pride, here is their contact information - http://www.dublinpride.ie/contact/
I am also shocked and sick to my stomach that IRMS who employ KNOWN PROVEN Nazi facists could be employed by Pride
SHAME ON DUBLIN PRIDE
SHAME ON IRMS
Paula you are tops. You provide fantastic pictures for numerous community based events and you always come up trumps.
The views I express below are purely from a personal capacity.
Having participated proudly under a Union banner on the day, it was an awesome sight to see close to 12,000 people participate in saturdays Pride, and full credit to all those involved and for making it happen in the LGBT community. However can you imagine my absolute horror when I learnt that the same security firm hired by Shell is the same security firm hired for Pride. I am completely disgusted.
I have sent an email to the Pride email address provided and I await a response. I really would like to think this was an oversight. It puts a rather sour note on an otherwise fantastic day.
Following the recent reporting on the connections between IRMS
security - fascist networks such as Stormfront - and on going protests
in Mayo against Shells gas pipeline - Dublin Pride should explain the
reasoning behind the use of IRMS at Dublin Pride last Saturday -
please read article at http://www.indymedia.ie/article/92865 for
further information.
I will not be attending future pride events unless Dublin Pride can
guarantee they will not be using this security company again.
The photos clearly show two different names on the security staff bibs: I-RMS and I-RWS. Can someone from Pride clarify whether there were two separate companies providing security?
