RTE broadcast an unforgivable and totally unjustifiable libel on Fr Michael Reynolds. They broadcast on air an untrue allegation that he fathered a child with a child in Africa - despite his offer to undergo a paternity test. He took them to court and rightfully to the cleaners.
Now RTE are subject to a Broadcasting authority of Ireland enquiry as well as one undertaken by the Press Ombudsman, Professor John Horgan.
Who has ridden over the ridge to to proclaim all that is holy in journalism? None other than Eoghan Harris, and his newspaper, the Sunday Independent.
Harris wants Ed Mulhall, RTE's head of news, sacked (20th November). Harris has been attacking Mulhall for years. Who knows what for and who cares, just for the moment. ... read full story / add a comment

rabble is a non-profit, newspaper from the city’s underground. It’s collectively and independently run by volunteers. rabble aims to create a space for the passionate telling of truth, muck-raking journalism and well aimed pot-shots at illegitimate authority. We stand within, and with, Dublin as it struggles from below against the ghost of the Celtic Tiger and the state it left us in. We support those who fight with a new world in their hearts and encourage those who create cultures that seed hope in bleak times. Those involved know each other from alternative media and street mobilisations, from raves, gigs and the football terraces, or by just living in the village that is Dublin. We range from people living and raising their families in the city, to community and political activists, to artists, messers and mischief-makers. We Are rabble. ... read full story / add a comment

FIRST GAY MARRIAGE ON SCREEN Yes! 1927! A mere eighty years later, in January 2011, gay couples have been finally allowed to have their partnerships legally recognised in the Republic of Ireland.

Flesh and the Devil opens with a ‘commitment ceremony’ between two little boys. The boys grow up into a pair of handsome men, who are inseparable... until they meet a ruthless vamp determined to separate them. Fun! Drama! Romance! Superstars! Duels! Shenanigans! This film has it all! -------------------------------------------- Outhouse Theatre, 105 Capel street wednesday 2 Feb 2011, at 7.30. Free tea and coffee.

A hypnotic thriller, 'Different from the Others' is also a remarkable historical document. The flourishing of art and activism in Germany in the early years of the twentieth century came to a dramatic close in 1933, when the Nazi regime began to systematically destroy books, artworks, and films they considered too provocative or ‘decadent’. This extraordinary film miraculously survived, in a damaged copy which was discovered in 1979, and restored with the help of stills. 'Different from the Others' is a landmark in gay/human rights filmmaking, and this is a rare opportunity to watch it on the screen. ... read full story / add a comment

RTÉ Primetime Investigates next Thursday is a special on the death of Michael Dwyer. Dwyer worked for Shell as a security guard in Mayo last year, and while there, made contact with extremists from right-wing militia groups. He joined with a number of these men and spent time in Bolivia, where after an investigation he was killed when police stormed his hotel room. It will be interesting to see what spin RTE will place on the events in Bolivia and Ireland. ... read full story / add a comment
