Deeply concerned and outraged at the continued use of Guantanamo as a US torture site, the ongoing Israeli collective punishment of Gaza and the facilitation of US troops and CIA torture flights through Shannnon Warport, members of the public, activists from Galway Food Not Bombs and the IPSC joined the Galway Alliance Against War protest at the Liam Mellows statue in Eyre Square this afternoon. Unfortunately, Rhuhel Ahmed, the British citizen who spent two years in the torture camp after being kidnapped with two of his friends whilst attending a wedding in Pakistan, could'nt attend. Fortunately, some 140 people attended including Michael D. Higgins, Galway City Councillors; Niall O' Brolchain, sisters, Catherine and Collette Connolly Billy Cameron and writers, Fred Johnson, Margaretta D'Arcy and Rita Anne Higgins. read full story / add a comment

This is the last week of the annual Turner Exhibit in the National Gallery's Print Room. The blurb on the boards describes the provenance of the bequest and the agreement between the estate of the collector and the Scottish and Irish galleries. We only exhibit the Turner's in their climate control cases during the month of January, this is largely because they are drawings and washes of landscapes and are fragile. The light is weakest at this time of year in Dublin and conducive to a visit. read full story / add a comment

The Taoiseach gets Friday off. Its a long-standing tradition that was facilitated by the Labour Party in exchange for speaking time in the Dail. The images on the Newswire of the Women's Protest in Belfast caught my eye, given the Health and social problems that are becoming evident in Dolphin's Barn, because someone gave Ms Harney 16 Billion Euros to continue to implement her Health Policy which is to close down hospitals in areas that have high populations of young children. Its called 'amalgamation'. read full story / add a comment

A young antifascist skinhead activist , Jan Kucera , has been brutally slain during a clash with a number of neo nazis in the small town of Pibram , just outside of Prague in the czech republic . Tensions between fascists and anti fascists have been high in that area since the successful mobilisation in November in which anti fascists and anarchists physically prevented neo nazis from staging a despicable rally in the centre of Pragues historic Jewish quarter to mark the anniversary of the nazis Kristalnacht pogrom against the jews of Germany during the 1930s . read full story / add a comment

We had decided to have our breakfast on the henge this morning. As I drove towards the N3 a low loader carrying a digger was driving towards Lismullen. Approx 10 protestors arrived in Lismullen, some from the road and some from Rath Lugh. Security were present during the entire time we were there. 2 protestors were assaulted within a few minutes of arriving. I tried to block the fuel coming out of the Lismullen carpark but Mark Cleary kept pushing me out of the way and the fuel tractor got away. Steve from Kildare, one of the security men assaulted another protestor, he was pulled from the fence and thrown onto the ground head first, and hurt his neck. read full story / add a comment

I have received over two years consistent appeals by Women's Writer's Unions for aid in advertising repressions of Women Writers , some of the appeals have gone on the Newswire; and some have been passed on to to groups where the campaign would be more effective. The plight of the writers has not in that period alleviated and some are in dire situations. This morning another one arrived, an archive update of the 2007 Women's Day attempt to highlight the cases of imprisoned Women Writers and activists. All their names are familiar, Amnesty, Human Right's Watch, Reporters Without Borders, International Women In Media Federation, Committee for the Protection of Journalists and PEN Women's Union have advocated on their cases. Links to the ongoing cases of Journalist and activist repression:-between Women's day 2007-2008. read full story / add a comment

The healthcare system, upon which people in Ireland depend, is an apartheid system. Simply put, some lives are worth more than others. Rare attempts at reform have been stymied by historic, chronic underspending and vested interests. This legacy has forced the vast majority of working people to take out private health insurance and has laid the foundations for a neo-liberal push towards an American-style system of private medicine. read full story / add a comment

Besides the wanton murder of nearly 40 Palestinians the past week, the vicious Israeli blockade of Gaza has also snuffed out the lives of five patients, including three babies in the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City - according to Dr Raed al-Arani, a surgeon and spokesman for the hospital, they either died from hypothermia or from power cuts interrupting their vital oxygen supplies at home. read full story / add a comment |
