After much debate ( 2 ) ( 3 ) the Grassroots Gathering has issued a statement clarifying the direct action that is being called for the coming Saturday, March 1st.. A mass trespass is planned, with two groups involved. Those following white flags will form a line, one deep, facing the fence. The line will walk towards the fence with arms linked and, according to the statement, "once we reach the fence we will attempt to pull it down" and "remain in the grass verge on the other side of the fence." Pink flags will be used to clearly identify those who support the action but do not wish to take part. Buses are organised from a number of locations by both the Grassroots Network and the Irish Anti-War Movement, who are organising a parallel mass peaceful protest. Legal observers are also being organised ( 2 ). However the Peace and Neutrality Alliance (PANA), the NGO Peace Alliance and AFRI have decided not to participate because of concerns about the direct action. The Greens, Sinn Féin and Labour have also not supported the action ( 2 ), although individual members of these parties will be attending. This comes amidst growing calls for direct action and civil disobedience ( 2 ) against the war from around the world. Meanwhile preparations for Saturday's action are underway and there are already reports of arrests at the airport, which US military aircraft continue to use in their buildup to war on Iraq. Read the full Grassroots Network statement, action plan and more ( 1 ) ( 2 ) on the planned action. Reports on previous mass trespass: ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) and on International direct action ( 2 ) against the war.

Irish activist and former Member of Parliament, Bernadette Devlin McAliskey was detained by immigration officials in Chicago, February 21, and denied entry into the United States allegedly on "national security" grounds. According to her daughter, Deirdre, two INS officers threatened to arrest, jail, and even shoot the legendary civil rights campaigner when she arrived at Chicago's O'Hare airport. McAliskey (56) was then photographed, finger-printed and returned to Ireland against her will on the grounds that the State Department had declared that she "poses a serious threat to the security of the United States."

national / public consultation / irish social forum Sunday February 23, 2003 16:29 by IMC Editorial Group
Following the spectacular success of last November's European Social Forum in Florence, attended by over 60,000 people, a group of individuals representing a cross-section of Irish civil society is holding meetings with a view to establishing an Irish Social Forum later this year.
The Social Forum movement involves the establishment of open meeting places for groups and movements of civil society opposed to neo-liberalism and seeking to build a planetary society centred on the human person and not on capital. It began with the World Social Forum held in Porto Alegre, Brazil in 2001 where a Charter of Principles was agreed. Although not without its critics, the Social Forum movement has grown dramatically in the past two years and there are now regional, national and local forums around the world.
Movement towards an Irish Social Forum began following the return of Irish participants ( 2 ) in the So far individuals from (but not necessairly representing) the following groups have participated: Attac, Anti-Iraqi Sanctions, Canals Community Network, Comhlamh, Debt and Development Coalition, Dublin Council of Trade Unions, Dublin Food Co-Op, Dublin South FM, Earthwatch Ireland, Earth Summit Ireland, Feasta, Globalise Resistance, Gluaiseacht, Grassroots Gathering, Green Party, The ICTU, Indymedia, Jesuit Faith & Justice Committee, Latin America Solidarity Centre, Oxfam, Socialist Party, Socialist Workers Party, Sustainable Ireland, Trócaire, UCG Ecosoc, The Village, Workers Solidarity Movement,

Following the spectacular success of the February 15th anti-war demonstrations, the Irish peace movement continued today with 3,000 people marching in Galway. The protestors marched from Fr Griffin Park to Eyre Square where many speakers, poets and singers addressed the crowd.
The Galway protest comes a week after massive demonstrations in Dublin and Belfast encouraged Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to finally declare government support for a second UN resolution. Rattled by the sheer size of the protests and clearly out of touch with the mood on the ground, Ahern also ridiclously claimed to agree with the marchers while Tánaiste Mary Harney dismissed protest organisers as anti-American. Meanwhile anti-war activities continue around the country ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) ( 6 ) ( 7 ) ( 8 ) ( 9 ) ( 10 ) ( 11 ) ( 12 ) ( 13 ) ( 14 ) ( 15 ) and the potential for war in Iraq continues to dominate the Irish political scene ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ). As the Ploughshare protestors remain in prison ( 2 ) ( 3 ) attention is now turning to a March 1st protest ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ) ( 5 ) and direct action ( 2 ) ( 3 ) at Shannon Airport, despite concerns about organisation. |
