Speaking at the graves of the leaders of the Easter Rising on Saturday (May 10), éirígí chairperson Brian Leeson called for an honest assessment of the state of radical politics in modern-day Ireland. “Radical, revolutionary, separatist, republicanism is far weaker now than what it was a decade ago – in both political and organisational terms," Leeson said. "Acceptance of this fact is the first necessary step in the process of reorganising and re-building a diverse social movement for the combined objectives of British withdrawal and social and economic justice." read full story / add a comment

This is a significant development, because the Gardai and the Irish Government authorities have clearly failed to carry out their duties towards prevention of the crimes of torture at Shannon airport. This however does not relieve the citizens of Ireland of their responsibilty to prevent torture. It is the moral and legal duty of all Irish citizens to take 'all neccessary means' to prevent the possible continuing use of Shannon airport by the CIA and the US military for the purpose of transporting prisoners for torture. read full story / add a comment
